This week's challenge from @hiro.report has felt a lot more difficult (you'd think leading / diagonal lines would be easy), here are a couple more attempts. #Photography #TheCompoChallenge #Cheltenham #TownScape #Allotments

This improves the quality of the foreground lighting over yesterday's shot, and the subject is clearer but unfortunately we lose the leading line to the frost. #Photography #Rural #Landscape

Good light this morning, hopefully I get around to editing some of this lot in the next few days. #Photography #Lightroom

Are there any good “photo gear & tech” podcasts out there?

Although I generally like the composition in this one (except the large tree) I’ve made it B&W because I think there’s better colours to be had at another time of year (with the flat light it’s not the greatest B&W either). #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Landscape #TheCompoChallenge #Rural

Pre-ordered the Sigma BF in silver, no idea if I'll keep the pre-order but I wanted to get an order in just in case it's another X100VI situation, definitely not a FOMO thing at all 😅.

I had been thinking it might be a new MacBook and Apple Watch year this year, but I think I'll put that money towards a Sigma BF instead, it looks stunning.

The Sigma BF is very neat. A bit of an indictment against Leica that they keep making things more fussy and complicated rather than this: a reduction to the essence of what makes a camera. It’s truly a case study in minimalism. Wonderful stuff.

I really want to like Foto app but the UI is infuriatingly buggy and inconsistent.

A quick winter morning view of the local allotments, I like the way this view changes so much throughout the seasons. #Photography #TheCompoChallenge #Allotments #Urban #Sunrise

This is an incredibly frustrating development. Very disappointed that this has had to happen.

@maxwilkinson.bsky.social I’d be interested to know what your opinion is on this as the MP for the area trying to become “Cyber Central” for the UK as well as the area containing much of the UK’s digital spying talent?

If you’re not a fan of the increasing amount of politics that seems to be creeping into Bluesky feeds and you’re just here for the photography you should consider giving @glass.photo a try.

I quite liked the rising sun and the church spire just peaking through the woods in this one. #Photography #Sunrise #Cheltenham #Woodland #Rural #Mist

Another tree, I do post a lot of trees but then they do make very patient subjects.

I posted a similar image of this twisted tree not too long ago, but I think this is a better representation of it. #Photography #Trees #Rural #Nature #Frost #Mist

I quite liked the graphic nature of this shot, this isn't my favourite tree though. #Photography #Trees #BlackAndWhite #Nikon #Cheltenham

I think everyone has a favourite tree, I know I do.

Of course there's a Glass series to go with the last post: https://glass.photo/digitalpardoe/series/6duaUMFqA9MjY0n2xZtErh-arboreta. #Photography

Something a bit messier than normal, works at some sizes better than others. #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Trees #Nikon

I thought I’d do an introduction post as it seems the way on here. I’m a professional photographer specializing in the ocean and the coast it carves. I’m lucky to be represented by some good galleries. I also teach workshops. I’ve been full-time for 9 years now - went fast!

One day of sun, that’s all the British weather has been willing to give us in the last few weeks, fortunately the snowdrops took advantage of it. #Photography #Flowers #Snowdrop

WALLACE WAVE: The Wallace Monument about to be engulfed by a bank of fog rolling in. A minute later and the view of the monument was completely gone. #sharemondays2025 #fsprintmonday #photography #landscapephotography #wallacemonument #scotland

The latest issue of Sean Tucker’s Parable is _very_ good, definitely worth a read.

I noticed these two sitting in my "to edit" album had a kind of symmetry I was drawn to. #Photography #Nature #Woodland #Nikon

We're fairly lucky round here that there's a particular area that is guaranteed to get some mist/fog on a cold day, makes the decision of where to walk to in the morning a bit easier. #Photography #Landscape #Rural #Nikon #Trees

Just received my Squarehood GR Glass, it’s a pretty nice hood/filter combo. Should help keep the dust out while keeping it compact. #RicohGRIII

I've not gotten around to editing this morning's photos yet but here are a couple from the same route on a slightly warmer morning. #Photography #Landscape #Hiking #Cheltenham #Nikon #Trees

Worst bit about being out in the cold, changing lenses in the field (in a field). #Photography
