Amazing images, and such a wonderful way to represent your year photographically. The selective focus on September's image stopped me in my tracks. Well done.
Great selection of images Gill, great to hear how these all came about. All the best for 2026, looking forward to seeing what it brings for your photography.
Thanks for all your hard work on Substack this year. I always get something out of your posts: either an idea, or maybe a technique to try, or a place to visit. Or just something lovely to look at over my coffee - that image of Westleton Heath is one I've looked at several times.
I'm still experimenting with my own Helios. I've taken nothing as lovely as your shot, but as much by accident as anything it's taken me into a new direction (more abstract...) so thanks for that idea in particular!
That's brilliant Mark, thank you so much for your kind comments. I am glad you get something from the posts and it's always good to hear when someone has been inspired.
I love the Helios - it has really encouraged me to experiment and I love playing with the light and the bokeh it creates. I am glad it has inspired you too.
A lovely and inspirational review. Fate conspired against me photographically this year, so there were long periods of inactivity. Hopefully 2026 will be a more productive year as I work on my landscape photography. Thank you for sharing these gorgeous images.
Beautiful. The hunched tree, wow!
Thank you Hayley, I am glad you enjoyed it. That tree is one of my favourites. It looks like a hunched figure to me.
Thank you for sharing, it is lovely to read these blogs and get the story behind the images which Instagram doesn’t quite delivery.
Thank you very much Mark, I am glad you enjoyed it.
