Timepiece by Conrad Shawcross, at the Roundhouse, in Camden, London.

A bespoke installation for the Roundhouse, Shawcross' Timepiece involved 3-lights, hanging off arcing arms, that rotate for the hours, minutes and seconds. Added to this is the gnomon (shadow-caster) of a sundial rising from the centre of the room, turning the 24-equilatterally spaced iron pillars of the Roundhouse into a functioning clock.

Long exposure, shot with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G lens. This was actually composed of two separate long exposures, merged and processed in GIMP and tweaked in Photoscape.

A small balcony garden in Barga, Tuscany, Italy, on a hot Summer morning.

This was originally a somewhat basic attempt to emulate the Italian tricolour, as part of myflags project, where I (attempt to) evoke the flag of a nation I am visiting through a particular image, but ultimately I don't think this quite makes the grade.

Shot with a Nikon D7000 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G lens, and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
