Straight Ahead Raising money to provide orphaned children with a home, food, an education they would otherwise go without and a safe environment. circa35mm.com/art-store/p/...

Another work in progress, from the slopes in Southern Scotland.

A bit of a work in progress this image which I’ve been working on over the last few days. The tones are beginning to come together for me but I still think they can be pushed a little more. #bnw_greatshots #bnwminimalismmag #incredible_minimal #minimal_perfection #bw_perfect

After successfully completing last years challenge to take, edit and share a photograph each week using only my phone, I’ve decided to go again. So here we are, week one. #myweeklyphoneimage #sharemondays2026

Happy new year all. Woke up this morning to some good news. Had four of my images received an honourable mention for the 2025 Monochrome Awards

The final photograph of 2025 and have a great New Year when it comes. I’ll do a bit of a look back over the last 12 months in January at some point but in terms of sharing images, this year I’ve shared more than the past few years combined. So I’ll take that as a win. This is an oldie from 2015.

Exploring the big smoke today.

I thought I’d share a few of my favourite photos by other people that I’ve seen on this platform in 2025. A slowly evolving thread. 🧵

Unsurprisingly my weekly phone image comes from Iceland and the beautiful black sand beach at Vik. #myweeklyphoneimage #sharemondays2025

Whiteout on the River Coupall, Glen Coe. Hope ye all have a very merry Christmas folks, and a belter of a New Year! Thanks for all your your support and kind words over 2025, always very much appreciated 🙏Here's to adventures new in 2026, Slainte!!🥃 xxx www.damianshields.com

Wonderful to wake Christmas morning to find I’ve sold a painting. The Dark will be heading to Spain. Huge thanks to the buyer & to everyone for the support. I’ll extend the 20% studio sale until the end of the month 🙂 www.artachart.com/available-work Best wishes to all of you.

More curves from the beautiful Luskentyre. Another shot which didn’t quite make the cut for my weekly phone image but I love the sand and the movement of the reeds. #blackandwhite #minimal

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas 🎅

I’ve talked about how photography offers me an escapism from my day job, one which is extremely numeric, precise, and constantly moving and changing. However, it also offers me the opportunity to raise money for organisations doing amazing work to help those less fortunate. circa35mm.com/charity

Spinning Around We’ve all reached that time of year when we look back at what we’ve achieved over the last 12 months. I am already looking forward to what I want to accomplish in the first couple of months of 2026.

Spinning around and around and around. You wouldn’t get me anywhere near it 😂

Above #3 brings the weekend to a close. This type of composition is not one I have done for some time, albeit one I enjoy. Up high, scanning the landscape below, picking out little details.

Charity Prints I have decided to offer them an on-going basis as a way to continue my support for the Lidya Hope Foundation. There will be 12 prints available to choose from with every penny going to support the Foundation (I’ll cover the printing). circa35mm.com/art-store/p/...

It was pretty challenging this week to get something for #myweeklyphoneimage but I settled on this one at 36,000 ft. #sharemondays2025

Four images from a cold period around this time in 2022. #photography #monochrome #blackandwhite

After many posts about my Christmas Charity Print, this is the final one (I think). Over the course of 5 weeks I sold nearly 350 prints (more than 3x last year) raising around £5,000, which when added with some very generous donations took the total raised to £11,000 and I’m still receiving orders.

I am on Substack. I write about women photographers who have inspired me as well as writing about my own work. open.substack.com/pub/deborahp...

Looking up at the summit, the surface below still showing through, plotting a way to the top. Or is it all that is seems.

I am always amazed at what I find to photograph looking up, behind, and down, beneath the surface.

It all comes back to me now & it just doesn't get any easier, but here goes. I had it down to 8 for a while but eventually here are my favourite 4 @jillholl.bsky.social @paulmacleod.bsky.social @bulloch.photography @circa35mm.bsky.social Winner later today & my comments in ALT. #Sharemondays2025

Featured Photographer: Euan Ross (@circa35mm.bsky.social) Love this approach—winding through snowy trees with intention and care, finding quiet moments in the landscape. There's a real thoughtfulness to how they see winter. Absolutely worth following. #photography #blackandwhitephotography

Many will be thinking about hitting the slopes this winter in the middle of a snowstorm, getting a buzz as they fly down the side of a mountain. I am thinking about those same slopes but working my way around the trees, capturing beautiful moments in time.

Today is apparently Cyber Monday… So all Christmas Charity Prints are only £15 each. Or 3 for £40. Or 4 for £50. Every penny goes to supporting two organisations helping vulnerable children. circa35mm.com/art-store/p/...

An image from our landscape locations workshop to Hokkaido earlier this year. Hokkaido is, without doubt, one of the most incredible winter locations I’ve been fortunate to visit.

Looking forward to seeing all the #Sharemondays2025 entries this week. Remember the hashtag and I'll go through them all tomorrow, liking each entry to let you know I've seen it. I'll aim to share my 4 favourites then the winner, tomorrow night or early Wednesday. Harris, October 2025.

Black Friday Sale Christmas Charity Prints still only £15 each, orders open until 7 December. Every penny goes to supporting two organisations helping vulnerable children. circa35mm.com/art-store/p/...

Looking back last week as some images from the phone taken during my week on Harris in October.

A little bit of Venice for the weekend…
