I mean...she IS correct in that. HOWEVER--

I don't post enough here for this to render me leads but a friend of mine just sent me their zine and I'm so endlessly charmed by them--if anyone here makes zines or newsletters or ANYTHING like that, please lmk so I can dive in!

playing with the Laowa 10mm cookie lens is always fun. It's MF w/ some heavy vignetting, but has a lot of charm (and really good anti-distortion!). This is a 2x3 crop of a larger shot in Brentford, London. I liked the way the external stairs look like vertebrae 🩻 #laowa #photography #london

mixup at the t-shirt collection point for the London marathon, where I’ve been incorrectly classified as both ‘small’ and ‘relaxed’. I’m large and tense! I’m a thriller in IMAX! I’m a set of marquees! www.justgiving.com/page/asharat... (please share, I’ve been so bad at soliciting donations)

I spotted this wren yesterday at James Ramsay Park in Fraserburgh and it sang!! I love that you can see its little tongue in the second one #wren #birdphotography #scotland

A throwback (crowback?) to August last year at Aberdeen beach, where I met a very compliant crow and took these shots. I love photographing these arguably more mundane Scottish birds: they're so beautiful and intelligent. #BirdPhotography #birding #scotland #nature

I'm not usually one to yearn for the short days and biting cold, but for some reason I woke up today wishing I were back in the Cairngorms. #scotland #cairngorms #photography #landscapephotography

Here are some photos from the ‘real’ camera from yesterday. Lots of tasty grain, but I’m psyched about the amount of detail I recovered even in such low light. 📸 canon R5 | #birdphotography #birdingUK #aurora

Good skies today in Rosehearty and Fraserburgh #aurora #scotland #iphonephotography

Sunday stroll along Aberdeen beach, to make sure I hit 50km this week. Got divebombed by a hungry seagull but very worth it. It’s six weeks til I walk the London marathon in aid of Prostate Cancer Research. You can donate here www.justgiving.com/page/asharat...

Lovely meeting of the @britishlichensociety.org.uk's data committee this evening. On a lichen theme, then, here are some photos I took whilst I was on the BLS's excellent LABS course (Lichens for Absolute BeginnerS) last year. #macro #macrophotography #lichen #nature

a misty morning in Edinburgh burned off to a lovely golden hour as I headed north. now watching from a bus as the starlings murmur in the dusk (thanks @lner.co.uk for another gorgeous trip!)

Exploring Cramond in Edinburgh earlier with a friend. I also went wall-climbing for the first time and didn’t hate it! #edinburgh #graffiti #silhouette

Edinburgh from the inside of a bus today

Finished my Van Gogh ish quilt, it is just a throw size. Salute to Van Gogh when he was in the mental hospital working on his irises, so I created a window perspective. #quiltsky , #quilting, #quilts , #sewing .

I have GOT to start shouting more about the fact I'm walking the london marathon this year for Prostate Cancer Research (www.justgiving.com/page/asharat...). I'm going to start posting more here and flogging the link--sorry!!! but the cause is important to me so it's worthwhile. 📌

one of my favourite pictures from @edinburghzoo.bsky.social on Sunday, on a training walk for my London Marathon Walkathon in aid of Prostate Cancer Research (www.justgiving.com/page/asharat...)

trying to get through my daily long walk without being distracted by the lure of big Tesco

a short thread of my favourite Cairngorm candids! There were lots of parents and carers out helping their little ones channel their bravery! It was great to watch them learn to love zooming around on their skis #scotland #scotlandphotography #candid #candidshot #skiing

been a while, work's been manic (in a good way, mostly!). Here's the fluffiest, coldest wood pigeon I've seen in a while #birdphotography #pigeon #woodpigeon

This is one of my favourite pictures I took at the hide at Alvie Estate on my trip with @wildphotographer.bsky.social! #pheasant #birdwatching #birdphotography #scotland

Happy #fungifriday! Here's an eyelash fungus (scutellinia scutellata) I saw this past summer. I was delighted to find it as I'd never seen it in the flesh before. #mycology #fungi #macrophotography

Was so happy to see a crested tit on my recent trip to the Cairngorms! Yes, it’s only a feeder shot, but what a beautiful bird. #birdwatching #birdphotography #crestedtit #scotland

Was great to see the Cairngorm on message as well as stunning with its scenery @pscupdates.bsky.social #freepalestine

Haven’t really edited anything yet because I have a belter of a headache from looking at snow all day—but had a banging time today on cairngorm mountain #scotland #cairngorms #landscapephotography #photography #snow

I am on a Cairngorms photography adventure this weekend and am intending to use it as impetus to FINALLY share my photos on this account. here’s a shot I took today just as the light began to fade—it looks black and white but isn’t! #scotland #photography #winter #landscapephotography
