We have just added some truly stunning Shelby Mustang images to the Automotive Art collection. Taken by Tim Wallace, these photographs show the classic American muscle car in its truest sense – powerful, classy and timeless. The 1967 Shelby Mustang is a legendary muscle car built by Ford between 1965 and 1970 and the GT500 was the pick of the class. The name Shelby comes from Carroll Shelby who was famous for taking Ford cars and upgrading them into something powerful and exotic. Tim Wallace has always produced exceptional car imagery and these pictures continue the style that has made Tim s

Ten of the pioneering photos of snowflake crystals that American farmer Wilson Bentley began taking more than a century ago are to be sold in New York. Wilson A Bentley (1865-1931) is thought to be the first photographer to capture images of single snowflakes on camera. He made thousands of the jewel-like prints, and came to the conclusion that no two snowflakes were the same. This concept caught the public imagination and he published other articles in magazines, including National Geographic, Nature (Journal), Popular Science and the Scientific American. His photographs have been reques

So the Fotoviva Art Collection continues to grow from strength to strength and we have just reached our 300th image. No prizes to him but Martyn Starkey's equestrian picture 'White' is the photograph which happens to be the 300th - and what a shot it is! A truly magical atmosphere was created with the sepia toning and elegant composition of the horse that shows the grace and beauty these magnificent creatures possess. If you like horses this is an art print you really must own! It is available printed on canvas, acrylic or poster art in a range of sizes to suit your walls. Congratulations to

Today marks EarthShots.org's 500th photo of the day! To celebrate they have created a special page with all 500 photos displayed as a mosaic... it is an impressive exhibition of photographic prowess.

A bit late for this but I have only just got some file copies from those nice people at Nikon. My 'Rising Swan' photograph was entered into a Nikon competition last year and although it didn't win, they have featured it on the February month of the official Nikon Calendar for 2008 :-) Must admit I'm quite gobsmacked by this but very happy, and to make it even sweeter they paid me to feature it! The print is proving very popular on the Fotoviva Art Prints online gallery and has had some great reviews by fellow photographers. You can find it in the Wildlife Art Prints section where it can be bo

This month we are showcasing a wonderful black and white photograph by Andrew Gibson entitled 'La Recoleta Angel'. It was taken in the Cementerio de Recoleta (Recoleta Cemetery in English) in Buenos Aires. It's one of the cities main attractions and the cemetery is special because only the richest and most famous Argentines are buried there. It's very expensive and they say it's cheaper to live the high life in Buenos Aires than to be buried in Recoleta. One of its most famous inhabitants is Evita, otherwise known as Eva Perón, second wife to the Argentine President Juan Perón. Andrew's mon

Our specialist flower photographer Jacky Parker has just had her wonderful 'Rain Bells' image awarded 1st prize in the Plant Portrait category of the prestigous Royal Hoticultural Society Photography Competition.

The competition is sponsored by the Medici Gallery in London, where it will be on display in the middle of January 2008 for one week and also in the RHS gardens Wisley spring through to autumn next year.

A 16 billion pixel image of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper has been posted on the internet, giving art lovers a detailed view of the 15th Century work. The image is 1,600 times more detailed than those taken with a typical 10 million pixel digital camera. Experts will be able to see segments as though just centimetres away and examine otherwise unavailable details. The posting comes amid claims a new system aimed at protecting the piece from Milan's pollution is not working. The original work is displayed in the Italian city's Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Art curator Alberto Art
