At the end of the year I produce a small book of all the winners. 

All the info can be found here 

Sharemondays.co.uk 

I'm interested to know who if anyone would be interested in taking part, to see if it's worth the migration. In it's prime it was a great community competition that brought many photographers together. 

Books are 100% non profit. 

Previous books are still available here

New landscape photography video out tomorrow featuring the beauty of the cypress swamps. This was one of my best trips of the year and I am so excited to share not only what I captured, but also what I learned along the way!

If I'm gonna leave the other place, I'm gonna need a lot more f****** attention here. Let's create a Christmas miracle by boosting my follower account enough to merit me sending Musk a 'Bye, F*** you!' 🙏🎄✨️

When the landscape split into a dual world made of light & darkness…

The Queensferry Crossing in the twilight with light trails s ing towards it. The main the Forth bridges can be seen the background. There are blue hues with an orange streak low on the horizon hinting at a sunset.

I mentioned to someone here last week that I'd post some pictures of the Tyne Pedestrian Tunnel, so here they are. The whole thing was refurbed not so long ago but they've kept the wooden escalators which are a real highlight. I'll post those separately.

At the time, no, as I’m looking between the back of the camera and the sky. The sensor sees more than the eye depending on exposure. but If it is dark enough and you give your eyes time to adjust, like a couple of hours to be properly adjusted, then you could see the stars as they are in the photo.

Well kind of both really… it’s is my most recent, but that was 18months ago… I haven’t picked up the camera since… life getting in the way generally… I hope to get back out there soon.. feeling inspired by the responses…
