Some “small in the frame” shots this week. I think it’s good to show the subject in its wider environment. Shot at Lindow Common SSSI of a Great Crested Grebe Camera: Sony A7R3 Lens: Sony 200-600mm f5.6-6.3 G Settings: ISO 640 | f/8 | 1/2000s

It was fascinating to see all the textures and colours crammed up against the glass. Plus, things had made trails in the dirty glass Shot on Pentax K1 + Pentax 28-105mm and Tamron SP 70-200mm Macro

Pola 2419 The Hothouse is closed at the moment so next year I think I'll go down and see what it looks like. Fingers crossed it still looks as good Pentax K1+Tamron 70-200mm

Pola 2410 These images are part of a collection I took outside a plant Hothouse, capturing the colours and textures against the glass. I then took sections and used a polaroid frame in Photoshop Shot on as Pentax K1+Tamron 70-200mm

My Top 4 for #ShareMondays2026 are: @dmrippin.bsky.social @dutchnewchurch.bsky.social @ian-mcc.bsky.social @ronm123photo.bsky.social A really tough one narrowing down from a superb selection put forward this week. All very different but I’ve tried to go with ones that moved me in some way.

There is a delightful sense of flow in this image, the ethereal nature of the mist shrouding the birch creates a real sense of intrigue and mood.
It’s a simple yet complex image that pulls you in to allow your mind to wander and add to the story yourself.
The muted and softened tones are delightful.

Another simple yet complex image that draws you in to the intricacies of soft detail.
The harmonious tones are warm and gently inviting adding to a beautifully immersive feel here.

Bold, graphic, strong and really well seen. The intersecting lines, shapes and patterns are magical and the little details of the grass breaking the rhythmic lines on the ground are a great little detour from the perfection of the pattern and form.

A cracking mono conversion and the well seen moment of the person with the bike breaking the linearity perfectly.

A delightfully serene and peaceful moment, you can sense and feel the calm and stillness the heron exudes as it patiently scans the water for a fish.
The colour palette of the early morning emphasis the calm and stillness with some lovely moments of light in the reflection. Such a calming image that slows us down.
A lovely environmental moment of a heron at its most serene whilst it watches for fish.
