Acrobatic Troupe by ApeArt
I love these boys – precariously balancing on a swinging beam, looks of concentration and consternation written across their funny little faces. They are white throated capuchins and we saw them at Apenheul Primate Park in Holland, a wonderful place to visit. Taken with Nikon D50

Number One and Number Sixteen by Scott Hendricks
I scanned and retouched an old photograph taken many years ago when my children were young. It is a unique view of the Mount Rushmore National Monument in Keystone, South Dakota. taken through the windscreen of a bubble helicopter. From the angle at the left side of the monument you can only see the faces of our First President, George Washington and that of our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln.

Many Lights Make Hands Work by David McMahon
The historic old carousel at Luna Park in Sydney caught my eye during a long holiday weekend this year, not just because of its period art, but because of the soft glow from hundreds of light bulbs – and their reflection in the mirrors and on the painted surfaces. In order to take a shot without any humans in the frame, I actually had to wait until one ride had been completed, then I shot a few quick frames before the next group of children chose their horses for the next turn. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F6.7, 1/45 sec, ISO 400, focal length 58mm.

L'il Bummer by Arla M. Ruggles
Drivinig across the open range, my friend and I came upon a trough in the desert. Three ewes with newborn lambs stood by the fence near the road. Delighted for the photo op, we stopped and were greeted by two sheepdog puppies who showed no aggression toward us, so we got out. Delight turned to consternation, as we realized the ewes were tethered to the fence, and were standing in the sun with no access to water. We weighed out, for a few minutes, two “rules” of the range: 1.) Never mess with another person’s livestock / 2.) Never leave an animal in distress Rule Two won out, and we carried over two buckets of water, setting them where the sheep could all get a drink. They drank so much, I began to worry they might overdo it, and founder. We decided to move the water buckets back to where we had found them, and hope that somebody would come along soon, to take care of the hot sheep. Before we got back to the pickup, we heard a truck coming down the road. We waited. Sure enough! Two men got out and looked at the sheep. One gathered up the buckets and went down to the tank to refill them. The other, seeing that this little lamb’s mother was still not allowing it to nurse, set about tending to that situation … Relieved, we went on our way. If this baby’s mother won’t accept her newborn, it will become a “bum lamb” or “bummer”, for short. The first option then, will be to find another ewe to raise it. Failing that, depending upon the availability of hired helpers to care for it, the lamb will be fed by bottle, until it is old enough to graze.

My boy by Coloursofnature
This is a beautiful image of my new grandson with his dad. It is such a beautiful look in the eyes of an overwhelmed father. Baby Johnny was one week old in this shot. i took this photo for a photo competition over here in Perth. Just to be different I decided to do it in selective colouring. Taken with my Canon 40DSLR using a 27-85 mm lens and using a lighting umbrella and spotlight. I have given it the selective treatment in photoshop. I made a duplicate layer, then converted the layer to b&W. I then used the eraser to rub out what I wanted to be coloured, this allowed the original colour to come through, then merged the layers together. / Thanks for visiting

Alien Invaders March Through The Valley by David McMahon
A few hours after a couple of my colleagues declared that power lines were most definitely the most boring sight in the world, I decided to see if I could find an interesting perspective. I drove out to a great lookout point, about 40 kilometres (25 miles) away from the city centre. There is a long, deep valley here and although I was hoping for a dramatic sunset, there was no flaring colour to work with. Then I suddenly realised, as dusk faded, that all I had to do was swap my 18-125mm lens for my 70-300mm lens and use the wonderful series of shapes and silhouettes that surrounded the gentle arc of the power lines, against the monochrome of the sky. By shooting from this angle and keeping the frame asymmetrical, I was able to highlight the shapes, while allowing the pylons to disappear into the distance. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F5.6, 1/45 sec, ISO 800, focal length 300mm. 73-3897

Blatella Orientalis, The Oriental Cockroach by Pete Janes
Characterized by a steely blue-black exoskeleton, this roach has colonized every place on Earth where humans live, come and go. A lot of my fascination with insects revolves around the structure and reflectivity of insect wings and exoskeletons. This illustration was originally published in BackHome Magazine, 1993.

Meet You On The Street Corner by David McMahon
I’d never seen anything quite like it before – the corner of two streets, each wall in its own distinct colour. This was shot at Clarke Quay, in Singapore’s historic wharf district, in mid-December 2007. The other great factor that caught my attention was the orientation of the street signs in English and in Mandarin. Look closely and you’ll see how carefully the walls have been painted, with no visible overlap on the corner. Also, observe the area around the signs in Mandarin and you’ll spot a slightly larger rectangle demarcated against the wall, suggesting that the signs were once slightly larger, but not quite the dimensions of the English signs. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F8, 1/350 sec, ISO 200, focal length 125mm. SingaporeA-1582

Spirit Of The Southern Cross by David McMahon
This horseback rider was concentrating so hard on the flag that I hit the trigger to capture his intensity. He was part of the Melbourne Cup parade on Monday. I shot a series of vertical frames showing his face clearly, but this – the only horizontal frame I shot – just captures the spirit of his task. There is a poignant touch to this image, because we were told that this small group of four or five riders were from the Victorian alpine town of Marysville. As any Aussie will tell you, Marysville was all but obliterated during the Black Saturday bushfires in February. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F5.6, 1/350, ISO 200, focal length 300mm. 120-1004
