The Faroe Islands in May 2018 ~ a selection of their "favourite four" as chosen by each of them, illustrating the variety of styles in their group, as well as the different subjects and locations that caught their attention. more

There is the calm of autumn emphasised by the lack of movement in the water and in the trees, creating perfect reflections. It is quite meditative. more
End frame: Sea Mist, Iceland by Tim Rudman
Many excellent photographers have developed compelling bodies of work with Iceland as the sources of their inspiration. But the work I keep returning to is that of the master monochrome printer, Tim Rudman. more
Beauty out of the fragments of life
Can I become emotionally entangled with the urban or semi-urban space around me, and make inspiring photographs out of this experience? more

David & Alan happened to be visiting the same area on the Suffolk coastline this February. David's images are intended to show the ‘moodiness’ of Walberswick and the coastline of Covehithe beach. Alan has chosen to show the results of mono conversions of some classic Suffolk landscapes. more
End frame: Kärrmark by Jan Tove
The chaos has become cosmos, order. But there is something unpleasant about the picture, the branches stick to me and the moody colour scale and the messy bushes force the viewer to choose whether it's beautiful or just scary. more
