Distant Origin – I last photographed the Natural History Museum a little over a year ago. At the time, capturing the central hall from the first floor while the place was empty was partly down to heavy rain on the morning I visited, and partly down to sheer luck. I’m still happy with the image I captured, but always wished I could shoot the hall from one of its upper corners; besides conveying the enormity of the museum’s scale, the perspective provides a better vantage point of the lower concourse, as well as a closer look at the incredible detail in the museum’s brickwork and the ornate architecture decorating the hall. I’d also always wished I could shoot on a sunnier day and capture a warmer tone inside the location. I returned to the museum on a busy day, eager to tackle the challenge of removing crowds of people from an image. The technique involved continuous shooting over half an hour, and then applying script settings in Photoshop and comparing 60 shots to identify and retain only the consistent elements – the consistent elements essentially being the building itself. I made the project trickier for myself because I was also eager to capture and blend multiple exposures – brighter exposures to ensure a sharp, clean finish to the detail in the shadows, and darker exposures to preserve as much detail as possible near the brightly lit windows – but the end result is almost exactly the image I’d had in my head: a crowded location made eerily empty in the middle of the day, leaving only the stunning 19th-century architecture of the building and the warm sunlight pouring through its windows. * * * You can also connect with me on Facebook, 500px, Google+ and Instagram. by Otto Berkeley via http://flic.kr/p/vZn38f

Caerphilly Castle – My local Welsh castle only 5 mins from home. One of the largest in Europe and i may be biased but one of the finest. A great example of fortification with an inner and outer moat. It was built between 1268 and 1290 by Gilbert de Clare, the Norman overlord, (known as Gilbert the Red due to his shock of red hair) to defend his lands from the Welsh Prince Llywelyn the Last (Llywelyn ap Gruffydd). The Welsh attacked in 1270 disrupting building and burning it and also the castle was attacked during the Madog ap Llywelyn revolt of 1294, the Llywelyn Bren uprising in 1316 and during the overthrow of Edward II in 1326–27. Owain Glyndwr the last true prince of Wales also managed to capture the castle in 1405 and held the castle for a year in his quest to unify Wales as an independent nation. If you visit Cardiff this should be must for any tourist only 15 mins away by train. by the_roving_sheephttp://flic.kr/p/wsz6f6

*The Tombs and the Blue Mosque – Istanbul* A unique view out of the Window of the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. The window was open so I used it 🙂 The closest domes are the rooves of some of the tombs of the Ottoman Sultans, from around the 16th century…
