"Venice Skyline"
Ian Whitworth |
I
believe Venice to be one of the most interesting cities in the world to
visit and photograph. It is truly a unique and beautiful place
and one of the only cities that can boast having no roads for motorized
vehicles in the main portion of the city.
Beyond the causeway from the mainland ending at the train and bus
terminals, Venice can only be travelled on foot or by water.
Ian describes his visit here - www.better-photographs.com/venice.html

"Rydal Water"
Sam
Segar |
Rydal
Water is a small body of water in the central part of the English Lake
District, in the county of Cumbria. It is located near the hamlet of
Rydal, between Grasmere and Ambleside in the Rothay Valley.
Numerous walks are possible in the surrounding hills, as well as a walk
around the lake itself, which takes in Dove Cottage and Rydal Mount,
both homes to William Wordsworth, and Rydal Cave, a former quarry
working. At the western end of the lake, steps lead to Wordsworth's
Seat, which is considered to have been Wordsworth's favourite viewpoint
in the Lake District.

"Blooming Orchids"
John Curgenven |
These
Orchids were photographed in the Orchid House, Kandy Botanical
Gardens, Sri Lanka. A macro lens was used with a tripod to shoot RAW
files which were then processed using select techniques in Photoshop to
render the already dark backgrounds to black.
More examples of the beautiful flowers to be found in Sri Lanka can be
seen by clicking here.

"Complete with Swimming Pool"
John
Riley |
In 2010, the Falkland Islands held the largest breeding population
of Gentoo penguins in the world, with an FC census
recording 121,500 breeding pairs. Numbers in the Falkland Islands
do fluctuate, but have averaged about 100,000 pairs over the last
75 years. Gentoo penguins are resident in the Islands throughout the
year and distributed all around the coastline.
This is the second largest Falkland penguin, standing at 76cm (30
inches) tall. It has a distinctive white bar over the crown of the
head, a long orange and black bill, a blue-black back and under parts
silver-white, and orange feet. It is very inquisitive, although easily
scared from its nest if approached to closely by humans, which in some
cases can leave the eggs or chicks vulnerable to predation by skuas.

"Fairy Glen"
Ron Sutton |
The Fairy Glen is a secluded and enchanting gorge on the river Conwy. A
favourite with artists and photographers alike.
Located only a short distance from Beaver bridge on the outskirts of
Betws y Coed, a combination of rapids and cascades on the Conwy river
that are chanelled into a narrow ravine. Wooded banks and rock walls
clothed with vegetation add to the charm.

"Ha'penny Bridge"
Ian
C Whitworth |
The
Liffey River flows through the center of Dublin on it’s way out to the
Irish Sea and has a number of bridges that cross it including the
Ha’penny Bridge that got its name from the old toll that used to be
charged years ago.
The Vikings originally inhabited the area of high ground near Christ
Church and used the Liffey to moor their ships for protection from the
sea.
