You should try the 40mm Hexanon. I think you would like it.

Thanks, Shaun.
Thank you, Mick. The weather conditions helped a lot here. But there is no denying that piece of rope was just asking to be photographed.

Post a PERFECT album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana or Pearl Jam! That's an easy one.
Cheers, Shaun. I'm sure I will dig another one out next week.
Thanks, I'm pleased to hear that.
Thank you. That's a good point.
Another orchard apple, for those of you who haven't had enough. Hertfordshire 2025. #photography #monochrome #blackandwhite

Yes, I think there are 6 or 7 of them running up the country.
Yes, there does seem to be less now. I know that they were doing work on it in 2023.
Thanks, Shaun. 🙏🏻
Thank you.
So true.

Many thanks, Mick. I liked that branch too. I might have another go at it when the tree has dropped its leaves.
Thank you, this is a digital image. I can not justify the cost of film anymore, so my film cameras rarely come out anymore.
🙏🏻
Continuing with my series of this tower that is sat on top of the Chiltern Hills. Stokenchurch Tower, No 19, Buckinghamshire 2025.
Thanks, David I’m pleased to hear that.
Thank you.
Thank you. 🙏🏻
Thanks, Shaun. Presumably this rope will disappear in a week or so when the season comes to an end.

Thank you, Shaun. I thought the highlight added a little bit of something too.

There are some great-looking trees in the one I visit. I would like to see how you get on with the orchard at work.
Thanks, Shaun. It's been nice watching them grow throughout the year.
🙏🏻
Another image from the orchard last week. There might be a few more of these to come. #photography #monochrome #blackandwhite
Thank you, Shaun. I'm pleased you think that.
I saw this on the canal last month. Boaty McMeltPhace was its name.
Thank you.
It sounds like you made a good decision.
An image from the Orchard that I have been visiting regularly, for this week's #ShareMondays2025 #photography #monochrome #blackandwhite
Thanks, Paula.
Thanks, Shaun. I just can't stay away from them.
You are welcome, Shaun. It must be nice to have the coast close by.
They do seem to of had a tough life. They keep on going though, perhaps that is what I like about them.

Really nice work Shaun. I like the three layers and the three simple elements.
Thank you.
Thank you, Martin. 🙏🏻
Thank you. It does look like life has been a struggle for them. But they are persistent.

Thanks, Kevin. There is always something different whenever I go.
Two Pines No. 36, Oxfordshire 2025. I paid a quick visit yesterday to these two pine trees that I regularly visit. For me, it is always a joy to spend a little bit of time with them, even if I do not come away with an image. #photography #monochrome #blackandwhite #landscapephotography
Thank you, Francisco. 🙏🏻
Yes, I thought it was a good idea, and I was pleased to be involved.
Thanks, Shaun. 🙏🏻

Thank you. The collection has only just been set up.
Thanks, Shaun. Pretty similar conditions to today. Have a good weekend.
🙏🏻
Merci. 🙏🏻

As part of their Wellbeing collection, students at Oxford can now view copies of Willow Studies and Two Pines at the Bodleian Old Library, @bodleian.ox.ac.uk.
Thanks, Shaun. You know I like to get some trees in the frame somewhere.
The 500mm is a beast.

Thanks, Shaun. Sometimes a bit of bright sunshine can be good.
I have another windmill for you today. This time the one in Chinnor. Oxfordshire 2025. #photography #monochrome #blackandwhite
Thank you, Diana.
Thank you.
Thanks, Armand. 🙏🏻
Thank you. I did like the way the low morning light lit up the grass.
Thanks, Shaun. I seem to be enjoying lying down in long grass at the moment. I'm sure that will change when the weather changes.
Thank you very much, Brent. I'm pleased to see that it still has so much appeal. 🙏🏻

Hopefully, the conditions will start to play ball soon.
Thank you.
Thank you, Shaun. I'm looking forward to making some more over the coming months.
Thank you very much, Christoph. 🙏🏻
Thank you, Gregory.
Thank you, Alfie.
Merci beaucoup. 🙏🏻
A couple of images from a nice wander on this day in 2022. #photography #monochrome #blackandwhite #woodlandphotography

Thank you, Shaun. I really liked that branch too.
Thank you.
Thank you, Mick. 🙏🏻
Another angle of the tree I posted last week. #photography #monochrome #blackandwhite
A mono version of dahlias yet to flower after just being watered. It was much brighter this morning with the sun streaming through the polytunnel and I had my camera rather than the phone. #dahlia #allotment #blackandwhite
They work fabulously in mono too. But I might be biased a bit there.
Thanks again, Rob. I try my best to find some hidden character in them.
Thanks Rob much appreciated.
Thanks, Shaun. 🙏🏻
You are very welcome mate. I look forward to reading the next one.
I agree, portrait seems to work better and I like the two stems.
Thank you. I'm pleased you do.
Thanks, Shaun. I really like the undulations in the land here. It is difficult to get the right angle though as the tree has some distractions around it.
You will have to push yourself next time.
You should keep on doing it, as it illustrates your feelings and passion for the land and place. I'm so bad at writing and getting my thoughts across.
Fabulous image.
on my endless quest to master the shadows
I like the seam cutting across the image & the mainly monochrome feel. It's almost a colour pop of the flower head. If you look at the bottom of the image there is a slight scratch on the plastis which I would have taken out but I feel it adds to the authenticity. A sense of underwater? #dahlia
Another beauty, Mick.
A great piece to read, Rob. I particularly like the line that reads “A meditation born from the art of walking and seeing, of letting the land reveal itself slowly”. As it really represents my ethos when making images.
