3/5 Around #Malvern Great Malvern Priory - Originally the church of a 12th century monastery and rebuilt and extended in the 15th century. Sir George Gilbert Scott did a Victorian restoration in 1860, but there is still much medieval in the church. #photography #churchphotography #architecture

The image depicts the intricate and ornate ceiling of a Gothic church. The ceiling features a stunning array of ribbed vaults, stained glass windows, and detailed stone carvings. The stained glass windows are vibrant and colorful, allowing light to filter through and illuminate the space. The central part of the ceiling is adorned with a richly decorated wooden or painted panel, adding to the grandeur of the architectural design. The overall impression is one of awe-inspiring craftsmanship and historical significance.

Throwback Saturday Looking for a pic with a #lights theme for today's #BlueSkyArtShow, I remembered this snap from 2017. It was taken somewhere in SW Ireland, but I can't remember the exact location. It was very dark and I used a tripod. #photography #nightphotography #landscapephotography

The image depicts a serene nighttime scene of a waterfront promenade. The path is lined with streetlights, their warm glow reflecting beautifully on the calm water surface. A thick layer of fog or mist hovers above the water, creating a dreamy and tranquil atmosphere. The sky is a deep, rich blue, transitioning to softer hues near the horizon. The overall mood is peaceful and slightly mysterious.

The angel is dressed in a flowing robe, and its hands are raised in a gesture of prayer or praise.

Throwback Saturday. Looking for a snap with a #summer theme for today's #BlueSkyArtShow I thought this shot of the River Chess from June 2021 captured what English summer days mean to me - not the scorchio weather of this year. #photography #landscapephotography

The image depicts a serene countryside scene featuring a shallow, clear river flowing through a lush green landscape. A wooden fence crosses the river, partially submerged in the water.

Here's a composite of my (partial) #eclipse images. The sun is surprisingly small which presented a challenge when I realised that my only appropriate filter was a 58mm 16 stop ND. #photography #astrophotography

The image depicts a solar eclipse in its various stages, shown as a sequence of the Moon progressively covering and then uncovering the Sun. The phases include:

Partial eclipse (beginning and end): The Moon starts to cover the Sun, creating a crescent shape.
Total eclipse (middle): The Moon fully covers the Sun, leaving only the Sun's corona visible as a dark central circle.
Reverse partial eclipse: The Moon moves away, revealing the Sun again in a crescent shape.
This is a time-lapse or composite image illustrating the entire process of a solar eclipse.

3/5 Amersfoort Here's terrific door, arch and entrance to Sint Joris op ’t Zand church . This dates from 1927. #photography #architecture #architecturephotography

The image depicts a striking architectural entrance featuring a large arched brick doorway. The arch is constructed from reddish-brown bricks arranged in a layered pattern, creating a semi-circular shape. At the center of the arch is a pair of wooden doors with a bold, geometric design: the doors are painted in a warm orange hue, framed by black curved and angular accents that form an Art Deco-inspired pattern.
Beneath the doors, there is a small platform with a floor designed in a black-and-white striped pattern, adding to the visual contrast and symmetry. Flanking the entrance are two brick pillars, each topped with a dark green metal handrail that curves outward, guiding visitors toward the steps. The steps leading up to the entrance are made of light-colored stone, providing a neutral base for the vibrant colors above. Above the doors, a small, dark lantern-style light fixture hangs, adding a touch of historical charm to the scene.

4/5 multiple exposures I don't think I need to tell where this is. #photography #icm #streetphotography #multipleexposure

The image depicts a multiple-exposure photograph of the Millennium Bridge in London, with St. Paul's Cathedral prominently visible in the background. The sky is bright blue with scattered clouds, and the bridge appears blurred due to the motion of people walking across it, creating a dynamic, ghostly effect. The surrounding cityscape includes modern buildings and cranes, indicating ongoing construction.

3/5 multiple exposures Except cycles - multiple images stacked in Photoshop. #photography #icm #streetphotography #multipleexposure

The image depicts a blurred, abstract view of an urban street scene. It features a row of modern office buildings with large windows, a lamppost with a blue directional arrow sign, and a "Except for cycles" traffic sign. The street is lined with yellow road markings, and a black metal fence is visible on the left side. The right side of the image shows a red-brick building with arched windows. The overall effect is distorted, creating a dreamlike or motion-blurred appearance

2/5 Multiple Exposure Lots of shots of a grand terrace near Victoria Station to producs a #multipleexposure, once layered in Photoshop. #photography #icm #streetphotography

The image depicts an urban scene with a double-exposure or layered effect. It features a sidewalk lined with black wrought-iron railings in the foreground, leading to a row of modern buildings with large windows and reflective glass facades. The layered effect creates a ghostly, overlapping appearance, blending the railings, buildings, and greenery into a surreal, artistic composition. The background includes trees and scaffolding, adding depth and texture.

1/5 multiple exposures This week a set of #multipleexposure snaps, taking the same view from a set of slightly different positions and layering them in Photoshop. I use my small Panasonic GX85 for these. #photography #icm #streetphotography

The image depicts a narrow alleyway lined with red-brick buildings, featuring multiple windows with white frames. A tall, black lamppost stands prominently in the center of the pathway, which is paved with dark and light gray stones. In the background, trees with sparse foliage are visible, and the scene has a slightly blurred, dreamlike effect, creating a sense of depth and movement. The overall atmosphere is serene and urban, with a touch of nostalgia.
