A month in four photos. September 2026. #FourPhotosOneMonth 1. bus stop - troon 2. scape - calpe 3. pocket - greenock 4. stairs - valencia

High contrast black and white photograph centered on a glowing glass bus shelter standing along a quiet suburban road. Bright light illuminates the interior glass panes of the shelter, revealing faint graffiti and bus schedule postings framed by dark structural guidelines. The surrounding environment, including lowrise residential houses and surrounding trees in the background, as well as three wooden bollards in the grassy foreground is cast in deep shadow and silhouetted against a clear sky. The scene carries a stark, quiet, and moody atmospheric tone.

A high contrast black and white photograph framing a dramatic coastal scene in a square format. On the left side, a massive, sheer rock cliff face towers vertically with detailed, craggy stone textures. Rocky boulders occupy the foreground below. To the right, calm open water stretches toward a bright horizon where sunlight pierces through heavy, dark rain clouds overhead, casting subtle light rays onto the sea surface. A single small boat is silhouetted on the water in the distance, emphasizing the vast scale of the seascape. The image carries a dramatic, moody, and serene atmosphere.

A high contrast black and white photograph in a square format focusing on the metal spiral of a corkscrew, positioned vertically in the center of the frame against a dark, seamless background. Soft, directional side lighting catches the curved metallic edges, creating bright linear highlights along the top of each coil while casting the undersides and body in deep shadow. The minimalist composition emphasizes shape, metallic luster, and dramatic tonal contrast.

High contrast black and white street photograph featuring wide outdoor stone stairs rising diagonally across the frame under a clear sky. On the left, a silhouetted figure in dark clothing walks near the top of the flight. On the right, a person in a patterned summer dress walks down along a bright white concrete retaining wall topped with a stone section and metal handrail. Deep geometric shadows obscure the bottom foreground steps, emphasizing strong diagonal lines, sharp light, and urban architectural structure.

#FourPhotosOneMonth September Fallen leaves Shadows and Sunlight Creep Knot

A low angled black and white photo of fallen leaves on a window sill inside Salts Mill.
The dry leaves had fallen off a nearby plant and were strewn all over the sill.
Bright sunlight from the window was creating shadows from the leaves to fall onto the dusty sill

A darkened side room at The Refuge Bar in Manchester.
The photo shows a green velvet seating area with a pale grey wall behind.
A small triangular shaft of sunlight was shining onto the green velvet with the rest of the rooming darkness

A close up photo of a riugh textured exterior wall painted a terracotta colour.
To the left a single ivy stem is creeping up the wall. There are several green leaves on the stem

Autumnal forest floor. Norwich VT, September 2026 #ECK #Photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #Scape #Nature #ColorADay #RedWed

This image shows a red leaf nestled among decaying woodchips and flat, yellowish brown fungi. The leaf appears just right and above center, and we have a lovely view of the texture of its red surface interspersed with yellowish veins. Its surface is covered with water droplets from recent rain. It lies on a group of low, flat, yellow-brown fungi running from the upper left to lower right. We have a nice view of their mottled surfaces, and occasional hints of the gills on their undersides. To the upper right and lower left are scattered wood chips and in varying shades of dark brown and bluish black. The image is finishing by glimpses of other fungi in the upper right and lower left corners.

Trains are not always on time. Neither is life. We go on anyway.

PHOTO by Viktor Mogilat. Night fog settles over a railway station. On the left, a commuter train slides past in a soft blur, its rows of windows glowing warm amber, beneath overhead wires that cross a rust-colored sky. On the right, a long empty platform stretches toward a small shelter, where a single lamp pours a pale beam through the mist. A lone figure stands beside the shelter, head bowed, as a dark fence runs alongside. Light and fog rest together.

🪶 Rob has chosen #EFG as #BirdOfTheDay theme; birds beginning with any of those letters (1st name) Alt. is #Paridae; any tits, titmice or chickadees - A Blue Tit looking at the camera with its crest up in the sunshine #birdphotography #ECK #birds #photography #birdsofbluesky #ColorADay #BlueTue

A Blue Tit perched on a bare branch in the bright sunshine. The bird is slightly left of centre of the frame, perched on a thin, horizontal branch with its body facing to the right so its right side is visible. Its head is turned towards the camera and its crest is up.
The bird has a bright blue crown, white cheeks split by dark eye stripe and a dark patch under its small thin beak. Its back is green and its wings and tail are blue. Its underside is a lemon yellow and its legs are a bluish grey.
The bird is on a thin branch running along the bottom of the shot. A larger, lichen covered branch is behind it, travelling from the bottom left of the shot to almost the centre of the top. Another branch crosses the top right corner.
The background is out focus, lightly coloured to the left of the shot and dark on the right.

From Helen Bennett today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #BokehBirds - any bird captured with a soft, muted or blurry background.Bonus points for any bokeh balls! Alt: #AwkwardAvian - any bird captured in a silly, clumsy or strange position! Ruby-throated Hummingbird #hummingbirds #birdphotography #bird

The photo shows a Ruby‑throated Hummingbird perched at the tip of a plant stem. The bird is small, with a long straight bill pointed upward, slightly open, gray‑white feathers on the chest, and darker feathers along the back and wings. Its tiny feet grip the stem just above a wilted orange flower. The stem has small droplets of water on it. The background is softly blurred in green tones, with round patches of light creating a gentle bokeh effect behind the hummingbird.

A slightly hazy photo of faded flowers on long stalks, which are now brown in colour, with brroad leaves of green yellow and brown below. Behind them is the side of a stone building which looks weathered with sand colours, some red shades, darker shades and pale yellow markings. There is a small pruned tree on the right edge of the photo.

From “Humanity’s Resilience: A Year of War in Ukraine” My last solo gallery series (and a section of it got picked up by a publisher and is now a book). 2023 Mixed media on matboard.

Work is mainly watercolor and ink with curtains billowing into the room which are made from image transfers for texture. An old man sits in a room destroyed by an air attack, smoking a pipe and listening to an album on a record player. Broken stones and rubble line the rooms edge under the large windows with billowing sheets as curtains partially covering the view of outside.

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...

The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass. It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots. This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.
