My entry for #Sharemondays2025 this week is a result of experimenting with my macro lens, and photographing tiny fungi in my local woods. #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #macro #macrophotography #fungi #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

The forest is full of fungi right now... it's just spectacular... but challenging to photograph. #fungi #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

Rowan, from the window of my house, given it was absolutely chucking it down with rain! #Hawkshead #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

The woods are full of spectacular clusters of fungi at the moment. These little specimens were barely 1 cm tall. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #fungi #forest #woods #woodland #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

For #Sharemondays2025 this week - a moody shot of Wetherlam in the Lake District. The clouds were swirling & there were dramatic patches of sunlight & deep shadow. B&W seemed the way forward. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscape #mountains #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

A morning of pouring rain turned into a pretty special day of light in the mountains of the Lake District. The moral of the story... always take your camera! #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #trees #forest #mountains #hills #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

My #Sharemondays2025 entry this week. It was wet and murky, but as I crested the summit of my local hill, there was a brief moment of light on a cluster of trees. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria #photography #landscape #trees #forest #woods #mist #landscapephotography #Nikon #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

These are my 4 entries for the August 2025 round of #FSPrintMonday. All images are from Greenland, and are either of ice or are of the landscape at the ice sheet margin. @fotospeed.bsky.social #photography #landscape #landscapephotography #OPOTY #Nikon #Greenland #ice #PhotoRippin

The winner of this week's #ShareMondays2025 is @mickh5.bsky.social for his captivating image of dahlias through a polytunnel. This image is somehow both familiar & alien and it kept pulling me back. It is this intrigue that makes it a winner for me. Well done Mick. Over to you for next week.

After the long bank holiday weekend, here's my shortlist of this weeks #ShareMondays2025 entries. As always, it's been tough to select just 4, but big congrats go to @craddny.bsky.social @dylannardini.com @mickh5.bsky.social & @ronm123photo.bsky.social Winner to be announced later.

I have the privilege of judging #Sharemondays2025 this week, but as Monday (25th Aug) is a bank holiday in the UK, you have a bit more time to select your best shot. Entries can therefore be submitted on Tuesday too, and I'll be judging on Wednesday 27th Aug. Thanks all.

3 of my colleagues one evening at the ice sheet edge. The landscape here can feel quite unreal at times. Here, the sun was trying to set & for the first time, it felt something like night. #Glaciology #photography #landscapephotography #Greenland #landscape #mountains #mist #fog #OPOTY #PhotoRippin

Fantastic views over the Greenland Ice Sheet earlier today. I'm here to conduct the final fieldwork for my NERC-funded MAGICaL project ('Monitoring and Assessment of Greenlandic Ice ContAct Lakes'). Lots of data (and pics) to follow! @uoyenvironment.bsky.social @nerc-eof.bsky.social #PhotoRippin

The winner of this week's #ShareMondays2025 is @sarahlonges.bsky.social with this fantastic shot. I'm a big fan of Sarah's foxy images which have their own unique & characteristic style. This one is very special - beautiful with a real story. I was gripped immediately. Congrats & over to you Sarah!
