Not the worst spot if you can't travel to Cromarty Firth to take a photo there. Very imposing. 📷 #FujiFilm #X-T5 🔭XF18-120mm #Photography #Edinburgh #StreetPhotography #UrbanPhotography #Scotland #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #industrial

Wide-angle landscape view from a grassy hillside overlooking a city, body of water, and distant hills under a partly cloudy blue sky, with a line of yellow towers visible on the coast.

It doesn't translate well to socials and smartphones but I like to look at small details and layers in a photos like this. 📷 #FujiFilm #X-T5 🔭XF18-120mm #Photography #Edinburgh #Monochrome #BlackandWhitePhotography #BlackandWhite #UrbanPhotography #Scotland #Landscape #LandscapePhotography

A black-and-white elevated view of a sprawling cityscape under a hazy sky, featuring a dense layer of rooftops and trees in the foreground, church spires and mid-rise buildings in the midground, and a distant bridge and faint hills fading into the mist on the horizon.

Sometimes it's good to be forced to go home late. 📷 #FujiFilm #X-T5 🔭XF18-120mm #Photography #NightPhotography #Edinburgh #Fringe2026 #StreetPhotography #LowLightPhotography

A Gothic-style stone building facade is illuminated at night with vibrant green and blue projection lighting. The light forms a large diamond shape across the stone wall, centering on a large arched window with intricate stone tracery. A dark, decorative silhouette of a fence or rooftop cresting featuring a prominent Celtic cross stands in the foreground, partially obscuring the lower half of the window. The background is pitch black, except for a bright, blurred streetlamp glowing softly in the upper left corner and a small street light fixture visible in the bottom right.

It was hard to not get tourists in shoots here. I prefer more out of the way places but this one was mandatory. 📷 #FujiFilm #X-T5 🔭XF18-120mm #Photography #Edinburgh #StreetPhotography #UrbanPhotography #Scotland

A picturesque view of Dean Village in Edinburgh, featuring historic reddish-brown stone buildings with distinctive turrets and multi-paned windows along the water's edge. A gentle river flows through the foreground, surrounded by lush green foliage and grassy banks under an overcast sky.

A quiet, curving asphalt street framed by dense green trees and ivy-covered stone walls. In the background stands a historic multi-story building constructed from rustic, weathered brown stone with white-sashed windows, topped with a pitched sloped roof and multiple terracotta chimney pots under a bright overcast sky.

Even during Fringe it was possible to find peaceful places and views. 📷 #FujiFilm #X-T5 🔭XF18-120mm #Photography #Edinburgh #StreetPhotography #Peaceful #UrbanPhotography #Scotland

A stone paved path winds through a terraced garden with rounded shrubs and grasses toward a multi-story stone building with a bench and climbing plants, where a figure stands in a window. A low stone wall and planter box sit on the left, and a bollard is in the foreground.

An elevated, wide view overlooking historic stone rooftops, stepped gables, and chimneys framed by lush green trees in the foreground. In the mid-ground stands a distinctive pink, steep-roofed building, while historic stone architecture with turrets and a clock tower rises in the background under an overcast, hazy sky.

A calm river at sunrise, with a light layer of mist rising from the water's surface.The sun shines brightly from the left, filtering through a tall tree and casting a golden glow across the landscape. Lush green trees and vegetation line the far bank, their shapes clearly reflected in the still, glassy water. In the foreground, tall blades of grass along the riverbank are illuminated by the morning light.

A lot of cool looking things after dark. 📷 #FujiFilm #X-T5 🔭XF18-120mm #Photography #NightPhotography #Edinburgh #Fringe2026 #Vibes #StreetPhotography #LowLightPhotography

A dimly lit storefront at night featuring a large painted sign reading "APOTHECARY" across the top.
Below it, a barred window is intensely illuminated from within by a bright red neon sign that also reads "APOTHECARY", casting a deep red glow over the obscured interior. Along the dark wall below the window, faint writing displays the contact information alongside opening hours.
Additional faded text advertises goods for sale.

AI Mode conversation: write alt textYou sent: 1 image and said: write alt textwrite alt textA nighttime, eye-level wide shot captures the illuminated stone storefront of The Banshee Labyrinth pub in Edinburgh, Scotland.
The pub features a dark grey stone facade with a large arched central entryway where a small group of people are gathered. To the left and right of the entrance are two large arched windows with blue interior lighting. Posters, flyers, and event signs are affixed to the stone walls and windows, including a prominent white rectangular sign with the number "156" in red. Above the entrance, a dimly lit horizontal sign reads "THE BANSHEE," and another sign to the far left states "OPEN TIL 3AM DAILY" in red neon lettering. The entire scene is bathed in a dramatic crimson and purple glow from the pub's exterior and interior lighting, which reflects onto the dark cobblestone street in the foreground.

No, I didn't notice the sign walking in... (Not that I expected them to have any) #Eclipse #Photography

A store window displays an "ECLIPSE NOTICE!" sign stating they are sold out of viewing glasses and solar ND filters. To the left, a newspaper front page reads, "The Black Wednesday shopping scramble!" highlighted by an orange arrow. Additional orange arrows point to the sign's corners.

Old and older Pottery kilns, long disused. 📷 #FujiFilm #XT5 🔭XF18-135mm #Photography #Monochrome #BlackandWhitePhotography #BlackandWhite #UK #CaldonCanal #Pottery #Canals

A black and white photograph captures a historical bottle kiln and industrial factory buildings situated alongside a calm canal.
On the left, the distinctive brick-built kiln tapers upward into a rounded chimney stack, partially obscured by dense leafy trees and bushes growing along the water's edge. To the right, a large multi-story factory structure features a combination of exposed brickwork and vertical corrugated metal siding. A low, single-story shed with a corrugated roof runs along the base of the main building, directly bordering the narrow canal. The dark, still water in the foreground reflects the industrial buildings and surrounding foliage under a lightly clouded sky.

One of my favourite photos from the past when word was a simpler place (or at least I thought so) #Photography #Nature #Droplets #MacroPhotography #NaturePhotography #BlueSkyArtShow #Water

A close-up view of vibrant green and golden-brown blades of grass covered in numerous spherical water droplets. Warm, bright sunlight illuminates the scene, casting strong shadows and creating tiny, sparkling reflections within the dew drops against a softly blurred background.

Quick pick from last week. I hope everyone is having a nice day? 📷 #FujiFilm #XT5 🔭XF23mm f2 #Photography #Nature #UK #NaturePhotography #Reflections #Canals #UKCanals

A tranquil canal scene where still, dark water perfectly reflects lush green trees lining both banks. A narrow dirt and grass walking path runs along the left edge. The trees are illuminated by warm, golden hour sunlight against a pale blue sky, casting deep shadows that contrast with the bright foliage.

A black and white photograph captures a dramatic play of light and shadow inside a dark, covered brick tunnel.Bright sunlight streams from an opening above, sharply illuminating a stone staircase on the left that ascends out of view, a textured stone wall, and a wooden lock gate directly ahead. Water flows along a narrow canal channel on the right, creating a bright reflection on its surface. The left side features a dark path running alongside a metal handrail, with the foreground and sides shrouded in deep, heavy shadows.

Backrooms are great and all but have you seen backpaths 📷 #FujiFilm #X-T5 🔭XF23mm f2 #Photography #Nature #UK #NaturePhotography #Backrooms

A narrow, dirt footpath cuts through a dimly lit passage, leading toward a bright, arched opening in the distance. A tall wooden fence lines the left side of the path, casting long shadows across the ground. Dense green bushes and overhanging tree branches frame the right side and upper canopy, filtering patches of sunlight onto the trail below.

No excuse to not take one on the way to work 📷 #FujiFilm #X-T5 🔭XF50mm f2 #Photography #LandscapePhotography #Landscape #Infrastructure #Big #BlueSkyArtShow

A large concrete highway bridge spans horizontally across the upper half of the frame, supported by several thick, V-shaped concrete pillars. The bridge structure casts a heavy shadow underneath, while the front of the pillars is illuminated by warm, low sunlight. Mild graffiti is visible on the base of some pillars. In the foreground, a wide, open field is filled with wild grass and low-growing white flowers, covered by a thin layer of low-lying mist or fog. A dense line of green trees runs along the horizon beneath the bridge deck, and three tall, thin light poles stand evenly spaced along the top of the bridge against a pale, clear sky.

Walking down the path 📷 #FujiFilm #X-T5 🔭XF23mm f2 #Photography #Nature #UK #Golden #Field #Path

A low-angle, eye-level shot captures a narrow dirt path cutting through a dense field of tall, golden-brown wheat or barley stalks under a bright blue sky with a few wispy clouds. The path, covered in dry straw and patches of soil, leads toward the center background, creating a strong sense of perspective. The stalks on either side are closely packed, their textured texture and warm color contrasting sharply with the deep blue of the sky above. The lighting appears bright and sunny, casting soft shadows within the field.
