Thinking about bringing a weekly friendly competition over from X. Some might know it. Sharemondays is a competition that runs every Monday. Entering a shot with #Sharemondays2025 tag, taken the previous 7 days. Judged by the previous weeks winner. More info (links) in Alt and thread below.
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!

The iconic Matterhorn summit rising from ethereal low cloud cover & bathing in the red sunset light… A moment lost between harmony & drama… Nature doing its thing…🏔️🌿 #bluesky #landscape #landscapephotography #art #nature #mountains

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!' 🙏🎄✨️

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. #Photography #Architecture

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…

I think it’s an awesome wee spot… much easier to navigate in the daytime! Thinking of going back and trying to capture it in different seasons, but worry about access as the road isn’t maintained during the winter…

Clambering about a slippy waterfall with 10+kg of equipment on my shoulders, as I recovered from a bad back was perhaps foolhardy. But I was able to isolate an interesting section of the Buchanty Spout. The 3 boulders were irrisistable. www.AndyMacD.co.uk #photography #scotland #fineartphotography

I couldn’t do sports… I prefer the more sedate pace of landscapes.. and nighttime landscape long exposures even more so… 😂

Paul Gaughan @googan.bsky.social · 16/11/2024
I know… I think depending on what you are viewing it on it accentuates the night hues… for example, I have dark more on for most viewing platforms… as the screen grab shows? Right?also allows the viewer to visualise how it would look printed…
