‘Two Tunnels’ You can walk and cycle under the River Tyne

As usual the high standard of entries for #sharemondays2026 makes thing really difficult. However we have to have a winner. This week it’s @circa35mm.bsky.social with his simple minimalistic image in Black & White.

Never an easy choice but here are my 4 finalists for #sharemondays2026 @circa35mm.bsky.social @sarahlonges.bsky.social @mchardy.bsky.social @dmrippin.bsky.social

It really looks like there are mirrors involved in this shot but there isn’t. I think it’s down to the unlit start of the tunnel. #sharemondays2026

More from the pedestrian Tyne Tunnel.

A little bit of abstract from my phone today. Went out to the beach yesterday a noticed how colourful the sea foam was

Last time I was at this location was probably over 20 years ago photographing a band for their album cover. Thankfully u like then I didn’t get thrown out by security today 😂

Once a year I try and buy a price of art. Usually I order it and completely forget about it. No difference this year. Nice surprise when a print was delivered this morning.

Had a few hours out on Friday with a good friend and headed to Skinningrove in North Yorkshire. A really interesting place tucked away and not as popular as some of well known spots. #sharemondays2026

More from moody Scotland. I just love the changeable weather and the drama it leaves

Back from my trip to Scotland. Only a couple of days and not that much photography done but it never disappoints.

Having a couple of days away in Scotland to clear my head from what’s been a pretty tough few weeks. A phone shot from the campsite in Oban #sharemondays2026

Back to St. Marks Sq. again today in the mist. Had to wait a while to get this. There where more people around

Last year I had a trip with a couple of good friends to Harris. However the adventure started before we got there due to a storm. We ended up having to stay on Skye for one night so we made the most of it.

It has been a really hard month for me my amazing mam passed away following her fight with dementia I want to make a heartbreaking situation and make something positive, so I’m offering limited edition prints with all profits going to Dementia UK Find out more here: www.andrewatkinson.co.uk/store

Very unusual for St. Marks Sq. to be so quiet.

Back to my black and white but still including figures. Sometimes you get really lucky and I feel my trip to Venice was on of those occasions. So lucky with conditions.

Something really different from myself. Over the last 6 months I’ve been including more people in my work. Something I’ve always tried to keep away from. It’s funny how things change. This lady was posing for a friend when I was in Venice in February

Doge Palace Venice on a misty morning in February

Who would have guessed I’ve been to Venice recently 😜 A typical view down one of the larger canals with it disappearing into the mist

Venice really grabs you. Would a beautiful city.

First visit to the new City Hall in Sunderland. Thought I would take the opportunity to take a quick phone shot

This week has been pretty tough so only managed a quick phone shot. #sharemondays2026

Out testing a new lens last week. It’s was nice to be out by the sea

I headed to the coast this week with a good friend as I needed to clear my head. Nothing beats the sound of the ocean. #sharemondays2026

An early morning stroll in the mist in Venice. The huts on the right turn into souvenir shops in the day

Even in the colder months you need to get up and out early to have a chance of a photograph with no people in Venice. The mist helps though

A typical view of the canals of Venice

A slightly different angle on Venice. Was something else seeing it from above #Venice

Think I’ve got an original here 😉

‘Four Pigeons’ Not often you se Saint Marks Square in Venice empty like this. Was worth getting up early

I really wanted to take more night shots on my trip to Venice. However, the amount of walking in the day time meant I rested at night

I don’t know at the time but have learnt afterwards that these little stations monitor the water level of the Lagoon #Venice #Italy

Something a little different from my trip to Venice. Was interesting to watch the hustle. You could see who was in on the hustle. They even had look outs and moved pretty quickly.

You can’t visit Venice without photographing the many gondolas

Back to black and white today but this time oozing with atmosphere. Saint Marks Square Venice, I really like the inclusion of the single figure

Today I thought I would bring you a little bit of Venice colour. It also works really well in B&W but felt like a change

‘ The Silence of Venice ‘ Venice is known for its canals, beautiful buildings and gondolas. I try to look past the familiar and capture a different side of the city. #venice #italy #kasefiltersuk #hasselbladx2d #longexposure

You can’t go to Venice without an obligatory shot of a gondola

I really wanted to portray movement which I think I did. However I hadn’t realised this lady story pretty still on the white line in St Marks Square.

Something a little bit different from my last few posts. Still using the phone and still in Venice. Really stood out when walking along. Loved how the shoes matched the wall

I’m trying to get more people in my photography to add something different. This is a phone shot from Venice near St Marks Square

St Marks square in Venice is surrounded by shops and cafe’s. Was lucky enough to arrive with no body about. This was a phone shot and processed using LR mobile

Check this out I’m sure you will not be disappointed

‘4x4’ From last weeks trip to Venice had some amazing conditions. First time back in over 30 years, not leaving it that long again. #sharemondays2026

Phone shot from Venice. Was great to see people relaxing and having a picnic by the canal

Just back from 5 days in Venice a place I haven’t been for over 30 years. Had a great week making memories with my daughter. This is one of many phone shots taken. It’s a beautiful city that I hope to return soon

The still before the storm 300 metres away the water was breaking over the pier

I’m currently showing two images from The Pressure Wave at the 37th London Independent Photography Annual Exhibition @espaciogallery (along with 78 other images) until 10th February 2026 Open: Monday12:00–18:00, Tuesday 12:00–17:00

Ok, haven’t been well over the last week so decided on Saturday to head out for the first time to test a new lens. Was surprised by the conditions and spent far too long out in the cold. In a way I’m glad I did #sharemondays2026
