Our Photo of the Month is a new feature where we aim to showcase photographs of outstanding quality and beauty. For October we are presenting an incredible image by Tim Wallace called 'Northern Tide'. This is such a dramatic photograph with wonderfully vivid colours. Tim says "Northern Tide is part of a set of images that I'm working on to produce contemporary photography using an old weathered chair, basically in places that you would not expect to find a chair." "This shot was taken just next to the pier at Saltburn on the North East coast at the very early hours of 4:50am as the sun was ri

If you are interested in space and all the unkown that goes with it, you could add Astronomy Picture of the Day to your bookmarks for a daily feast of photography that is literally out of this world.

Today's stunning digital view, entitled 'Sagittarius Triplet', is actually a collaborative composite recorded by 2 cameras and 2 telescopes about 2 thousand miles apart! The deep, wide image field was captured under dark Arizona skies. Both M8

Over the weekend the floods hit across the country and even our quiet little village was cut off from the rest of civilisation! The main road from Pershore to Evesham had a 30ft section just disappear as you can see from these photographs. The road left a 30ft deep hole so I can't imagine they will be fixing this in a hurry!

It's certainly an usual image and fair play to the photographer - I don't fancy being in his shoes, even if there is a glass screen between the two of them! From the article: Vallejo, California, May 30, 2007—Cats swimming may seem about as likely as pigs flying, but Odin the tiger is proving the exception to the rule at a U.S. theme park. Raised by humans at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom outside San Francisco, the white Bengal tiger has been diving for dinner—happily, according to his

Well I'm happy as Larry today (who is he anyway?) as one of my own images was made Photo of the Day over at Earthshots. The Rising Swan picture has proved to be a popular image with Fotoviva customers and I'd like to say a big thanks to those nice people at Earthshots for the lovely photo award! The wildlife image has won several awards and been featured on many websites, although this is the only place where you can purchase it as a print.
