Many failures went into making this particular photograph, but I do like a good minimalist converging lines image. #photography #streetphotography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8

Spent a few hours on Lindisfarne Island (during low tide). Very flat light that day, but at least some texture in the skies. 1 or 2? I go back and forth... #photography #lindisfarne #holyisland #castles Fuji X-T5 and XF70-300mmF4-5.6

Spent a lovely afternoon on Bamburgh Beach a few weeks ago. I liked the stubborn determination of this child's straight-line stride across the sand. Channeling a little Joel Meyerowitz, perhaps. What do you think: colour or black & white? #beach #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF70-300mmF4-5.6

Revisited the W Hotel in Edinburgh to get a more flattering angle. The building, nicknamed "The Jobby", has a curling ribbon of metal spiralling around it up to a point. Ribbon or 💩? You decide. #edinburgh #whotels #architecture #street

I love it when I see interesting light and can use it to make an interesting image. Fan Ho was a master of this and I was looking at a lot of his work last week. Maybe that's why this clicked in just a few seconds. #streetphotography #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II

On this Cotswold farm the entire harvest was complete before 26 July, which is incredibly early. Including the hay from the field with the old windmill. #cotswolds #oxfordphotographicsociety #harvest #drought #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II

This is what happens when you see a giant steel box on the shore of the Thames at low tide and think "that'd be a great place for a nap!" Taken at Gabriel's Wharf next to the Oxo tower in London. #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II

The #52frames theme a few weeks ago was "triangular composition" and these are my favourite triangles in the Westgate Centre. Last photo before security showed up apologetically once more. Shoot early, shoot often. #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II

The Radcliffe Camera is not just a reading room (in 5 parts): it's also a place to gossip, laugh with your friends, take a breather over lunch, get inspired... or maybe fall in love? #Oxford #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II

The #52frames theme last week was Portrait of a Stranger. This is Cleve (AKA Blakk Gold), originally from Jamaica, who runs a stall at a furniture market in Copenhagen. We had a great conversation and he insisted on wearing shades for photographs! #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II

Last weekend was the Oxford Folk Festival, filling the city with dancers and musicians from Friday to Sunday. I was really struck by the rhythmic performance of this clog-clad group dancing on Catte Street between All Souls and the Radcliffe Camera. #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II

Last week's #52frames theme was "From Above". After a wet, windy and generally dreary five days, I was able to make a drone flight and capture this on Saturday morning, This is Great Haseley Windmill, restored a few years ago. I love the long shadow from the early morning sun. #photography

Cannot. Ignore. Beautiful. Light. At the Bodleian Library last week. One thing I like about this time of year is the sun is lower in the sky and less intense. #Oxford #bodleianlibraries #shadowplay #oxford_university #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 WR II

This image was taken 3 years ago in Yellowstone National Park, but I was never happy with the way I processed it. I gave it to some other RPS Landscape photographers to see what they could do with it... and they got me unstuck. #yellowstone #geysers #photography Fuji X-T4 and XF16-80mmF4

A typical day on Westminster Bridge last week, taken for the #52frames "Shoot from the hip" challenge. The second image of the two friends was way more popular than the rickshaw driver, which is my favourite. #London #westminster #streetphotography #photography Fuji X-T5 and XF16-55mmF2.8 II
