All of my #FSprintMonday entries for June were taken on a beautiful evening in Devon using #ICM

Oh definitely end of the month, you don’t want to use up all your slots and then find you have the killer shot!

I was wondering whether the etiquette would be 1 at a time or 4 at once - I need to look mine out, I’ve got a few nice ones for June

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.

It wasn’t me - I only had one last year and we worked out that I chose Damian’s heron

Paula Wilks @saxtraction.bsky.social · 25/04/2025
Yes! I do remember it, I loved it because the heron is such an ‘ordinary’ bird, but this picture was really special

Paula Wilks @saxtraction.bsky.social · 25/04/2025
I’m week 30 - not stated as missing, but I am off X now. I can’t remember what I picked though - it could well have been Damian’s, I do tend to like his images

I agree with Cotswold Mounts. Cadremont do some lovely deep mounts, but you may have to wait a bit for delivery. If you want something basic, a standard size and delivered quickly there’s always Amazon

I don’t have much in the way of opportunity this week, so a really good picture would be a definite win whatever!

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

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

Painted wave of the day - u reckon I can keep this up for another week, then I’m going to have to shoot some more #ICM #Photography #Lensbaby
