Untitled. (Francesca Albini)

From the series 'Phantom Feet' taken on the club walkabout at St. Pancras on 2nd March when experimenting with slow shutter speeds for the meeting on 16th. I have edited freely for a meeting on the theme of 'fantasy' on the 8th. Club meetings can get you producing work you might not think of otherwise! (Sue Czapska)

I like it because the simplicity of form is enhanced by the muted abstract background. (Stephen Gainsley)

I have picked this photograph as I like the velvety texture of the coot's front side and the amazingly beautiful eyes. After I took this photograph I realised its strangely shaped feet for the first time. I took this photo end of last year in my local park. That was the only day the sun came out while there was still ice on this boat lake. I took loads of shots on that day and before the sun went down but this is my absolute favourite. (Sabine Maerky)

This is an image I took one summer morning on my way to work. Unfortunately my exposure was under and I lost a lot of the detail in the foreground. This image is a pseudo-HDR amalgamation I made using five images scanned from the negative at different EVs. It brought out the blues I thought. (Nicolas Mitchell)

Flaming Tree. (Kim Mcmahon)

I like the symmetry, the colours, and the light. (Ken Moore)

Nature's Return. (Johnny Zimmerman)

At Trafalgar Square I was waiting to meet a friend. It was just after dusk and I thought the light was perfect for long exposure without getting too much contrast. Fortunately I had my Nikon P6000 in my pocket. I used the highest f-stop (7.2) and took few shots. At 3 seconds I got the best exposure and this is the result. (Javad Mahdavi)

This picture is from a month's trip of India. The boy is wearing black eye liner around his eyes to ward of evil eye. The evil eye is a look that is superstitiously believed by many cultures to be able to cause injury or bad luck for the person at whom it is directed for reasons of envy or dislike. (Janson Woodall)

Grape Harvest. (Harry Tsappas)

This was taken in a Buddhist nunnery in Ladakh where I was teaching. It's completely unposed. I like it for the colours and the innocence; but mainly for the relationship between the fading chart on the wall and the studious young nun. For me it says something about education in India. (Graham Parkinson)

This was taken the week that the Phoenix Cinema re-opened following a £1m restoration. I was trying to reflect the colours of the restored neon in the light trails of the traffic and it took a few attempts on bulb setting to get the right shutter speed (about 6s). (George Outen)

I like cafes; I know most of the cafes in Muswell Hill and most of them know me. This one, Caffè Nero, caught my eye when I was walking up Tottenham Court Road. I was looking for images to enter for the 2010 Lauderdale House Photography Competition; the theme was 'Communication'. The background scene in the mural reminds me of my experiences in Italy with my Fiat 500 and the traffic police; the driver's gesticulations echo those of the gentleman at the table. I took this shot from the pavement opposite; the cafe is on the first floor. (Daphne Trotter)
