Thanks, Jason. Hope it's a great week for you!

Love this! And that touch of blue qualifies it for #BlueSkyMonday 💙

A symmetrical photograph of a grand shopping arcade in Mayfair, London, presented with a vibrant blue and teal tint. The long interior features an arched ceiling with glass domes and a series of ornate hanging lamps that lead the eye deep into the passage. On either side, shopfronts with curved glass displays are set between elegant columns. In the foreground, a man in a long coat is walking away into the distance.

The sun breaks through a thick band of dark cloud at the horizon, sending radiant beams of light across a blue sky at sunset. A line of leafless trees forms a black silhouette along the skyline, with an open field in deep shadow in the foreground.

Happy #BlueSkyMonday! 💙
Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead and fingers crossed for some sunshine ☀️

A dimly lit, moody interior of what appears to be an old church, featuring rows of vintage red velvet chairs with wooden armrests. A single beam of warm light dramatically illuminates one chair in the foreground, highlighting its texture and colour against the surrounding shadows. The floor is covered in ornate, patterned tiles with blue and tan motifs. In the background, a large golden statue of an angel with expansive wings stands against a weathered wall with faded frescoes. A dark doorway and a small poster are visible in the center background, contributing to the mysterious and quiet atmosphere of the space.

A black and white, high-contrast photograph of a crucifix mounted on a textured, marble-patterned reredos in a dimly lit interior. A single, dramatic beam of light descends from above, sharply illuminating the head and torso of the figure of Jesus, while the rest of the scene remains in deep shadow. The figure’s head is bowed, and the light creates a strong shadow of the cross against the paneled wall behind it. The composition is minimalist and moody, with the right third of the frame containing the subject and the left side fading into complete darkness.

A black and white, vertical photograph looking down a long, grand hallway with a classic checkered diamond floor pattern. The foreground is dominated by the geometric tiles, which reflect soft light from a source further down the corridor. In the mid-ground, stone pillars and arches frame the view, leading the eye toward a bright, sunlit atrium in the distance. A white marble statue of a standing figure is positioned at the end of the hallway, brightly illuminated against the darker shadows of the corridor. The architectural style features ornate arches and a balustrade, creating a sophisticated and timeless atmosphere with a strong sense of depth and perspective.

A black and white, minimalist photograph capturing a series of bright, parallel light beams cast onto a dark, textured carpet. The light, likely streaming through a window or slatted door, creates four prominent, rounded bars of light that stretch diagonally across the lower half of the frame. The texture of the carpet fibers is clearly visible within these illuminated sections, contrasting sharply with the deep, solid shadows surrounding them. In the background, a thin sliver of light defines the edge of a door or wall, adding to the geometric and high-contrast composition. The overall mood is quiet and atmospheric, focusing on the interplay between light and shadow.

This week's #AlphabetTechPhoto is Light/Shadow!
Explore high contrast for the #AlphabetChallenge prompt: #WeekIforInteriors
Think dramatic window light in a hallway, shadows cast across a staircase, or an Industrial space filled with beams. Let’s see that depth!

Phew, an easier one after last week 😄

Wonderful 💖

Thank you!

Cheers, Colin! I never thought I’d be so happy to see a bit of sunshine this week! 😄

Thanks so much, Jeff. I was praying for some sunshine and it finally came on the last day!

Thanks, Jeff. All the info I read is quite ambiguous on the exact definition of ghosting but I had fun with it so that’s the main thing 😉😊

Thanks so much, Soph! ☺️

Not going to ignore you, John. I found all the articles I read on ‘ghosting’ pretty ambiguous and confusing, which is why I mentioned the tendency toward some motion blur in my post. Either way I had fun shooting it! 😊

Thanks Graham. I hope so! 😊

😊🙏💖

Thanks, Julie, it was a tough one this week!

Thank you!

Cheers, Tom! 😊

Holes! 😳🤭🫣🤣

Attention Alphabetters!
This is your reminder that Monday 2 Mar is the beginning of Week I and the #AlphabetChallenge theme is Interiors. Houses, shops, bars, bags, holes - basically the inside of anything counts😊
Use the # below and have fun😊

Blurred photograph of a London Underground platform sign reading “Angel,” with the red roundel and blue bar partially obscured by motion blur from a passing train. Dark, indistinct silhouettes of people are visible in the foreground, adding a sense of movement and urban atmosphere.

Haunted
Angels on the Tube

This was my other option for #AlphabetTechPhoto but I didn’t know if it was more motion blur than ghosting 🤷🏼‍♀️ Plus the “H” is pushing it a bit 👻😂
