Elizabeth Celms: I took this photograph at a farm in central Latvia. There was something hauntingly beautiful about this tree - the deadness of it, and the ominous colour of the winter sky behind. Photograph: Elizabeth Celms/guardian.co.uk

Peter Garner: This is a shot of hard-dance DJ Timmy Whiz bathed in blue light from the Puzzle Project's LED banner. Taken at Swamp's 5th birthday celebration at Club 414. Photograph: Peter Garner/guardian.co.uk

James Brooks: I took this in Trinidad, Cuba. It was in an old musician's little bedsit, in the dead of night, with plenty of rum and cigars. Joined by my best friend and armed with an old camera, it was the best night of my life. Photograph: James Brooks/guardian.co.uk

Brendan McNamee: I took this photo in the Asserbo forest, north of Copenhagen, Denmark. Needless to say, I turned and went in the other direction - rather than be swallowed by the enchanted forest. Photograph: Brendan McNamee/guardian.co.uk

Mike O'Grady: This hall-of-mirrors reflection is from a metal stand where newspapers are posted up and old men gather to read and chat, in Ningbo, China. Photograph: Mike O'Grady/guardian.co.uk

Guy Carpenter: While making some flapjacks for breakfast, I noticed this pattern left on the spoon after the butter fell off into the pan. Photograph: Guy Carpenter/guardian.co.uk

Marcela Gelber: I took this in Newport Court, near Gerrard Street in London earlier this year. I love the laughter of the men (although I missed out on the joke) and the silliness of the inflatable pigs - they squealed when you bashed someone with them. Photograph: Marcela Gelber/guardian.co.uk

Merih Sakarya: The Sarcophagus of Mourning Women is one of the best-known pieces at the Istanbul Archaeological Museum, while a poem with the same name has been written by a famous Turkish poet, Enis Batur Photograph: Merih Sakarya/guardian.co.uk

Beth Webb: This was shot while looking out to sea though a broken window of a derelict changing room in Beaumaris. I always think deconstruction leaves the job half done - the imagination hasn't even begun to work! Photograph: Beth Webb/guardian.co.uk

Kathryn Blatch: Our drive down the west coast of the South Island in New Zealand was mind-blowing. We arrived at Hokitika just as the sun was setting, walked along the beach full of driftwood and listened to the crashing rollers Photograph: Kathryn Blatch/guardian.co.uk

Rob Walsh: At the launch event for what is to become the Impressions photographic gallery in Bradford, two girls were sat in a corner of the huge space engrossed in conversation, ignoring the great and the good parading around, sizing each other up and sipping free wine.

Sherwin R Tibayan: This is what was left of a poster advertising a recent Picasso exhibition hosted at the Albertina museum in Vienna: Malen gegen die Zeit (Painting Against Time). I thought the photo and the exhibition title were fitting. Photograph: Sherwin R Tibayan/guardian.co.uk

Jacobia Dahm: I saw this simple graffiti on the pavement about a week ago when I was walking along the seaside by the Bay Bridge, San Francisco. I thought the vibrant red flow of the paint on the ground was just beautiful. Photograph: Jacobia Dahm/guardian.co.uk

Phillippa McIndoe: Grow together … This was taken on a recent visit to Morocco. Photograph: Phillippa McIndoe/guardian.co.uk

Philip Sawkins: This is a multi-storey car park near Zoo station in Berlin. I took it while lugging my backpack across the street, on the way to my hotel. It’s a frightening structure seen from the street at night. Photograph: Philip Sawkins/guardian.co.uk

Inna Lima: This was taken in the Dead Sea campsite reception at the Royal Society for the Conservation of Nature in Jordan a few weeks ago. It is closed during winter months and was empty except for a guard. The place is amazing Photograph: Inna Lima/guardian.co.uk

Steven Beijer: I took this in London about two years ago. It's in front of the Salvador Dali exhibition, with the Houses of Parliament in the background. What struck me was the combination of the absurd with something so traditional. It gives the image a certain punk aesthetic. Photograph: Steven Beijer/guardian.co.uk

Margherita Antinori: This is in the Stazione Appiano, in Roma, Italy. It was taken in February, after many street artists worked for two weeks as part of the redevelopment project, zerouno3nove. Originally the tube station was gloomy. Now it is full of life. Photograph: Margherita Antinori/guardian.co.uk

Nicole Davison: I saw this in a backstreet in Beijing where graffiti has, until recently, been quite rare. I thought it had character. Photograph: Nicole Davison/guardian.co.uk

Marcia Adair: Jubilee Bridge by the Royal Festival Hall. Nothing exceptional is happening but it is still a beautiful moment. The ordinary can be just as inspiring as the extraordinary if you let it. Photograph: Marcia Adair/guardian.co.uk

Dan Bryan: The container ship MSC Napoli was beached off the Devon coast on January 19, after running into difficulties in bad weather. I'm tracking the wreck's progress, and took this shot from Beer Head on Saturday Photograph: Dan Bryan/guardian.co.uk

Kim Best: I took this in October last year. I had just acquired a really old SLR camera and was playing around on our annual trip to Whitby. The houses on the East Cliff have a sense of timelessness and the Abbey fits so perfectly into the whalebone Photograph: Kim Best/guardian.co.uk

Megan McKenzie: Shadows sometimes interest more than the object itself. In this case, the simplicity and complexity of a fallen leaf casting its shadow on concrete Photograph: Megan Mackenzie/guardian.co.uk

Brett Turner: This was taken in Kashmir, Pakistan, about three months after the country was ravaged by a massive earthquake. These young girls stood out so much from their stark surroundings Photograph: Brett Turner/guardian.co.uk

Matthew Dickie: This photo is of the Blue Lagoon, which is about 20 minutes by bus from Reykjavik airport. They say if you swim there you will live six months longer. The water is like a warm bath, even in the middle of winter Photograph: Matthew Dickie/guardian.co.uk

Rob Walsh: This is the edge of a stone slab, near an abandoned quarry on Thornton Moor, Bradford Photograph: Brett Turner/guardian.co.uk

Eleni Kasapi: A February sunset at Primrose Hill, London, 3.30pm Photograph: Eleni Kasapi/guardian.co.uk

Gill Baconnier: I took this in November 2005. My husband and I were attempting a reconciliation and this had always been our special place - Lake Allos in the Alps, France. In retrospect, I think it was fitting that it was autumn and for once, neither of us was in the photo Photograph: Gill Baconnier/guardian.co.uk
