Next up on the #photochallenge shots I haven’t posted yet is on the theme of #abstract focusing on the landscape like textures in the bark of this tree.

Yesterday I spent a very nice morning in the New Forest with a walking club. It’s incredibly
hard to capture the scale of the Giant Redwoods.
Thanks to @quietcornersphoto.bsky.social for the tips and advice.

Playing catch up after getting a little behind with the old #photochallenge. This one is for the theme #animals and was taken last year when some geese roosted on the estate I live on.

The prompt for last weeks #photochallenge was to create #moody images. Would have liked to get a closer shot but the foreshore was way to slippery for me to get down there.

This weeks #photochallenge theme was #aperature.

Took this recently in Eling and thought it fit particularly well.

This weeks theme was #Cold and I was feeling inspired by Felix Hernandez Dreamphography. This is definitely a genre I want to play in some more, not going to use ice in future though.

Week 6 of the #photochallenge and theme was #silhouette.

Don’t like taking photos of people so went for a #b&w #infrastructure inspired by a shot I took two years ago at a radio telescope.
B&W shot looking along a line of high voltage transmission lines near the m3. B&W shot of chilbolton radio telescope.

This weeks theme was single colour so I created a small scene using all the red boardgame pieces I own.
