My pick for #ShareMondays2026 was this serene scene from @markhether18.bsky.social. I love the low contrast hazy tones and low clouds, it made me think of Howl’s Secret Garden. Congratulations all it was a very hard choice, was fun to go through a bunch of great shots.

SHOWTIME Totally stunning Aurora display at Blea Tarn in the Lake District which peaked at 01.50am! #aurora #northernlights #bleatarn #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2026 @fotospeed.bsky.social @sonyalpha.bsky.social

CONTOURED Something a bit different from me today. I just loved the patterns and textures of this rock abstract on Parton beach in West Cumbria. #parton #abstractphotography #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2026 @sonyalpha.bsky.social @fotospeed.bsky.social

BLUE HAZE I tried something different in a local bluebell wood. This image was shot at F2.8 with my new Sony 24-70mm really low to throw the background out of focus and create the blue haze. #bluebells #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2026 @sonyalpha.bsky.social @fotospeed.bsky.social

BEACH PARADISE Wow what a place Luskentyre beach is on the Isle of Harris in the Scottish Outer Hebrides. I cannnot wait to return and I am looking forward to printing this image large. #luskentyre #outerhebrides #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2026 @sonyalpha.bsky.social @fotospeed.bsky.social

SUMMIT DREAMS Dreamy Sunrise upon on the Kentmere Horseshoe from the weekend. This was well worth the effort required to get up there for sunrise. #lakedistrictnationalpark #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2026 @sonyalpha.bsky.social @fotospeed.bsky.social

OUT OF THE MIST There was some atmospheric conditions up on Loughrigg Fell at the weekend. Not quite what we went for but nice to grab this consolation. #lakedistrictnationalpark #loughriggfell #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2026 @sonyalpha.bsky.social @fotospeed.bsky.social

🏆 #FSPrintMonday Winner Announcement 🏆 🥇 Congrats @markhether18.bsky.social‬! This image caught our eye because of its strong patterns and natural contrast. Repeating ridges create movement, while the low-angle light adds depth by highlighting the textures. The pebble gives the eye focus.

SKOGAFOSS The mighty Skogafoss waterfall in Iceland wearing its winter coat. #skogafoss #iceland #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2026 @sonyalpha.bsky.social @fotospeed.bsky.social

SKOGAFOSS AURORA Nice way to wrap up our first day in Iceland with the Aurora dancing over the impressive Skogafoss waterfall in Iceland. #skogafoss #iceland #fsprintmonday #sharemondays2026 @sonyalpha.bsky.social @fotospeed.bsky.social
