My week in photography tends to be famine or feast - last week was a feast and I’m struggling to choose for #sharemondays2025 but I think I’ve settled on this post sunset #ICM shot taken in Devon

This is my mam yesterday. She has dementia and now lives in a care home. She is also my inspiration to release my first charity photobook, a collection of my B&W photographs of the sea. All profits to be donated to Dementia UK seaphotobook.co.uk #sharemondays2025

A balletic mayfly from yesterday's great SheClicks meet-up in Bushy Park 😊 #Sharemondays2025
A mayfly clings to a grass stem, looking like it's arching its body.  Black antennae stetch out above and burnt orange tails stream in an arc below, black lace wings displayed above the body.  Afternoon sun makes the bright background grass glow.

I thought I’d already posted this one, but it seems I hadn’t. Now feels a good time because yesterday it was awarded Runner Up in LCE Photographer of the Year Landscape category. I’m obviously delighted with the recognition and also that a non conventional landscape can do well. #ICM #Photography

For UK based photographers I’m going to be talking about finding my creative niche at The Photography Show at 2pm on Tuesday 11th on the SheClicks stand. The Painted Waves will feature. #ICM #Photography @sarahlonges.bsky.social More about SheClicks at The Photography Show on SheClicks.net

Interrupting the Painted Waves (to be continued) to say that I’m delighted to be included in this week’s AP magazine feature about ‘finding your thing’ along with 5 fellow photographers and friends @sarahlonges.bsky.social Wendy Davies, Janina Wilde, Rachel McNulty and Helen Trust

After a couple of years of working with Lensbaby Omni system at the coast, and now several months working with ICM I finally felt ready to combine the two. Could be the start of a new project - working title ‘Painted Waves’ #ShareMondays2025 #fsprintmonday #ICM #photography

This image below was taken on one the of the most beautiful days of my life & looking back at it sparks a new perspective. I have written a blog about it here & if you have time to read it - it will really appreciated.🖤 deborahparkinphotography.blogspot.com/2025/02/stil...
 a black and white photograph of a young girl looking out across the lake to the mountain in the distance.  The image is on a polaroid and taken on a large format camera - the girl is wearing a dress with her hair in a pony tail - the setting sun has caught her hair and light halos around her head.  The lake is lit by the setting sun and the mountains are black in the distance.

With the pale aqua sky reflecting off the sea and sand this almost looks like ice sheets. It is in fact Margate at sunrise on Saturday morning with the wall of the tidal pool adding a bit of structure. #ICM #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2025 #photography
Pale blue sky and sea with some pink tinged clouds reflecting on the sea. Lapping waves create a jagged pattern. A dark stripe extends from the left midpoint to about 2/3 of the way into the frame.

One for Saturday's #BlueSkyArtShow on the theme of #Light. Golden sunset overlooking the cliffs along the North Devon #coast. Currently browsing/re-editing older images when I should be editing new stuff. 🙄 #landscapephotography #sunset #photography #nature #seascape
Golden light cascades over the sea next to an array of towering cliffs in dark shadow.
