  • The ever-turning London Eye is seen over the River Thames with the Palace of Westminster and Parliament beyond. The wheel is blurred after a minute's exposure and the blue sky behind renders evening as a romantic cityscape backdrop. We see Big Ben in the Tower of Westminster and Parliament just as they have become floodlit and the stand out set against the other buildings, very easily recognised as the iconic London landmarks known around the world. The Eye, or as it was known in 2000, the Millennium Wheel, was designed by architects David Blian, Julia Barfield, Malcolm Cook, Mark Sparrowhawk, Steven Chilton and Nic Bailey, and carries 32 sealed, air-conditioned passenger capsules which rotate at 0.26 metres (0.85 feet) per second (about 0.9 km/h or 0.5 mph) so that one revolution takes about 30 minutes.

  • A Nepalese factory worker rotates the metal frame which coils the wool yarn and feeds it through dye mixture, which is heated from below by the fire. It is just one part of the rug making process at R.C rug factory in the Narayanthan area of Kathmandu, Nepal. The company export rugs and carpets to Europe the U.S and Canada, and rely on the GoodWeave certificate of approval to boast excellent quality and fair conditions for its workers, as the carpet factory industry in Nepal is notorious for providing poor working conditions and forcing young children into labour.

  • Verticrop is the UK's first and currently only vertical farm, the project, developed by Kevin Frediani at Paignton Zoo in Devon, is a revolutionary way to grow large amounts of food in small amounts of space. It uses coya instead of soil to hydroponically grow various green leaves for the animal's consumption in the zoo. This technology produces the same quantity of food as a 16 acre farm in a 50 foot by 75 foot area, and uses only 8% of the water of tradtional agriculture for the same crop. If used properly could be part of the solution to our pending global food crisis

  • On the living room floor at home, a young mother grabs a few minutes to herself to exercises her pelvic floor muscles three weeks after giving birth to a baby girl who lies asleep in a Moses basket carry cot on the carpet. She rotates her hips to her right, twisting her body to regain strength in her lower torso, still sore from labour. This is from a documentary series of pictures about the first year of the photographer's first child Ella. Accompanied by personal reflections and references from various nursery rhymes, this work describes his wife Lynda's journey from expectant to actual motherhood and for Ella - from new-born to one year-old.

  • Near the mainline station called Santa Maria Novello, a young couple whose upper bodies and faces are hidden by a drawn curtain (drapes) have their portrait taken in a Florence street photobooth. We assume that the man is seated on the rotating stool while his partner sits on his lap, both their trainers viewed at the bottom as the automatic machine takes their pictures at a price of 2, 4 or 5 Euros. The Italian word Fotoressera is written on the top of the kiosk. This is particular form of photography used primarily for institutional purposes, usually for identity documents; licenses; identity cards; railway passes and resumes.

  • Fixed wheel bicycles also known as fixies are a common site especially in East London, where they have become incredibly fashionable. The simple single gear system is complimented by colour combinations of the frame and wheels, often in flourescent colours. A fixed-gear bicycle has no freewheel, meaning it cannot coast — the pedals are always in motion when the bicycle is moving. The sprocket is screwed or bolted directly onto a fixed hub. When the rear wheel turns, the pedals turn in the same direction. This allows a cyclist to stop without using a brake, by resisting the rotation of the cranks, and also to ride in reverse.

  • New first year pilots of the Red Arrows, Britain's RAF aerobatic team discuss new manoeuvres at RAF Scampton. Flt. Lts. Jezz griggs and Matt Jarvis discuss the finer points of an aerobatic manoeuvre recently taught in the crew room. They will soon be putting this formation into practice in the air of their RAF Scampton airspace. Using two scaled model Hawk jet aircraft Griggs shows how their formation is to be flown on their next training flight. Five autumn and winter months are spent teaching new recruits manual aerobatic display flying while the older members (who rotate positions) learn new disciplines within the routine. Their leaning curve is steep, even for these accomplished fast-jet aviators who had already accumulated 1,500 hours in fighters. By Summer they need every aspect of their 25-minute displays honed to perfection.

Teams of 5-8 perform a rotational order of tasks, changing every 20 minutes: A loader (asking travellers to take off clothing, shoes etc); archway detectors; X-ray operator; liquid tester and bag searcher. The X-ray operator can earn a £50 bonus for a suspect item randomly inserted by undercover officials and known as an Airlock Find. Also, a Tip is a random image flashed on the screen that shows a suspect item they have to spot. A typical day of searched passengers is 25,000 passengers in T5.

  • Rising circular fairground ride with EU member flags and Millennium (ferris) Wheel on London's Southbank. Looking up from the ground, we see the theme of circles and silhouettes in an afternoon sky as fearless people on these rides enjoy the scary sensation of flying through the air.

  • Strung between buildings at Oxford Circus, this enormous net sculpture is named after one of the astonishing impacts of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in 2011. Such was the strength of the vibrations, the earthquake momentarily sped up the earth’s rotation and shortened that day by 1.8 microseconds. Using data from NASA, Studio Echelman turned this phenomenon into a 3D image, the basis of which was used to create the shape of this piece. Glowing with changing colours controlled by the viewers smart phones, on a freezing January night, this piece by Art AV was part of the a free London Lumiere light festival. Held over 4 days in January 2016 the event brought huge crowds into Londons centre. The whole festival was produced by Artichoke and supported by the Mayor of London, in 30 locations across some of the capital's most iconic areas.
