Barbed-wire fence posts to the left suggest a field boundary, characteristic of a high downland track in this part of Oxfordshire in late October or early November.
The Old Lane The Chilterns From £55
A stand of beech and mixed broadleaves in peak autumn colour on the Chilterns escarpment in Oxfordshire, the canopy thinning to reveal sinuous branch structures diffused by morning mist. The dominant vertical trunk anchors a composition of competing curves and bare limbs, the fog compressing the background into pale layers of receding woodland. Captured at dawn in early November, the scene sits between full leaf and bare winter form.
Peak Colour on the Escarpment The Chilterns From £55
Dense autumn fog reduces a stand of beech woodland in the Chilterns, Oxfordshire, to a sequence of slender, curving trunks receding into white. The near-total suppression of tonal range creates a graphic flatness that is broken only by the textured bark of the two foreground trees and scattered leaf litter on the woodland floor. Converted to monochrome, the image strips the scene to its structural essentials.
Slender and Curving The Chilterns From £55
Dense autumn fog reduces a stand of beech woodland in the Chilterns, Oxfordshire, to receding layers of grey-blue, the slender trunks holding their form while remaining foliage, yellow and amber, offers the only warmth. The compression of the intimate focal length flattens the depth into something closer to pattern than place, yet the slight lean and curve of individual trees keeps it rooted in the specific. Captured at dawn on the last day of October.
Layers of Grey-Blue The Chilterns From £55
The lower branches of this Beech tree stand alone against it's neighbouring trunks. Golden leaves stand out against the fog, creating a brilliant focal point.
Golden Autumn Colour The Chilterns From £55
A worm's-eye view into a deciduous woodland canopy in the Chilterns, Oxfordshire, taken at the cusp of seasonal change, one central tree already deep in autumn russet while surrounding beeches retain their summer green.

The forest floor remains in deep shadow, drawing the eye into the luminous middle distance where the atmosphere thickens.
Dawn Between the Trunks The Chilterns From £55
For this Summer photograph, I captured beech trees that were backlit during a foggy sunrise. I just love the pillars of the beech trunks, and the deep greens of the leaves. Temperatures in summer are now often very high, and woodlands provide essential shelter and cooler temperatures for our wildlife. Trees are extremely efficient at absorbing heat, and helping cool our environment. From a composition perspective, I love how these trunks work together in silouhette. The low growth on the central tree provides a key focal point to the photograph, and as you study it, your eye is drawn to various other aspects, such as the glowing light in the woodland void behind, the younger trees in the foreground and the deep greens at the edges of the frame. I also love the monotone style of this photograph, being blacks, greens and whites. I captured this photograph with my Sony A7RIV paired with the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN Art lens. Camera Settings were 3.2s, f/11, ISO100 at 48mm focal length on a tripod. Note: There was no wind on this morning, hence the use of a long shutter speed without impact on the photograph. I wanted to ensure the light was "glowing" through the trees, and that the trees were silouhetted. Award winner

The Portal to Heaven The Chilterns From £55
Months of perseverance and scouting led to this capture. This woodland is local to me, but took some time to find 'the' specific woodland and composition I wanted - then I waited through the entire bluebell season to get this shot with many early alarms and failed attempts. The weather in 2024 was consistently grey with low pressure, now allowing the conditions I hoped for. This was captured just at the end of the bluebell season, due to the cobwebs being spun on the bluebell flowers. The light was perfect, with the warm sun casting beautiful sunbeams through the fresh green leaves of the ancient beech trees in this copse. This specific photograph is pleasing due to the light splitting the scene, with a distinct sun beam cutting the scene in two. Above is the canopy and beautiful leaves, below is the stunning light and bluebells, creating a balanced, ethereal and magical springtime scene. Award winner

Light on the Buachaille Glencoe From £55
A temperature inversion buries the glens beneath the Glencoe Buachaille in a still sea of cloud, leaving the rocky summit emerging into first light above. The crescent moon holds its position in a steel-blue sky as alpenglow catches the peak's upper ridgeline. The surrounding peaks glow red from the sunrise. Awarded
First Light on the Buachaille Glencoe From £55
A temperature inversion fills the glen floor with dense fog at sunrise, leaving two rocky summits isolated above the cloud. The winding road beneath the mist surface anchors the composition, hinting at scale and the valley's geometry. Shot in early winter, the frost-dusted ridgelines catch the first direct light while the foreground terrain remains in cold shadow.
Two Summits Above the Cloud From £55
Monarch of the Glen, Stag posing in front of frozen Buachaille, Glencoe Scotland
Monarch Before the Buachaille From £55
A red deer stag turns to face the camera at close range, frost dusting its muzzle and antler bases. Behind it, low cloud wraps the flanks of a bare Highland peak above a snow-covered glen floor. The compressed perspective places the animal in direct relationship with the mountain, grounding the portrait in its landscape context.
Frost on His Muzzle From £55
A temperature inversion fills Glen Etive and Glencoe at dawn, leaving Buachaille Etive Beag isolated above a smooth sea of cloud. Shot from an elevated drone position above the eastern ridge, the pyramid peak catches the first warm light against a sky still holding the blue of night. The foreground slope anchors the composition, giving scale to the suspended cloudscape below.
Buachaille Above the Inversion From £55
A pyramidal peak rises clear of a temperature inversion that has filled the surrounding glens with cloud, photographed from altitude at dawn in mid-winter. The peach-toned afterglow along the horizon separates the cloud sea from a cool blue sky, compressing the scene into three distinct horizontal bands. The composition is strengthened by the rocky foreground ridge leading the eye toward the isolated summit.
The Peak Stays Clear From £55
The cloud inversion during this sunrise was spectacular, with the sun managing just to break through to backlight the iconic Lagangarbh Hut (the wee white house) in the Glencoe Valley, with a huge shadow behind from the Buachaille, shrouded in the fog. To help soften the colours, I converted this to Black & White, as I think it best represents this scene. Awarded
Under the Shadow of the Buachaille Glencoe From £55
A solitary farmhouse and small stand of conifers sit exposed on a frost-bleached moor as a storm front sweeps overhead, its dark mass bisected by a shaft of diffuse light. A shallow moorland stream curves through the foreground, its still surface reflecting the unsettled sky. The tonal contrast between the luminous cloud break and the advancing darkness gives the image its underlying tension.
Storm Front, Lone Farmhouse Glencoe From £55
The Milky Way rises vertically above a stand of conifers in a Scottish glen, its core flanked by faint auroral red on the right horizon. Low cloud pools around the base of a pyramidal peak, while green airglow tints the left sky. The coincidence of galactic core, aurora, and valley mist in a single frame is rare and well-judged.
Milky Way Over Glencoe From £55
The River Coupall cascades over snow-dusted boulders below Buachaille Etive Mòr, its peak half-consumed by cloud. A long exposure renders the water as silk against the stillness of the frosted rockscape, the bare birches framing the pyramid summit with quiet insistence.
The Coupall Below Buachaille From £55
A red deer stag stands broadside on frost-bitten moorland, its breath just visible in the still air. Behind it, a conical Highland peak — likely Buachaille Etive Mòr in Glencoe — emerges from low cloud, framed by Scots pine and frost-white grass. The flat December light strips sentiment from the scene, leaving weight and cold.
Breath in the Cold From £55
Night on the Streets of Marrakech, Morocco (Awarded) Award winner
Night on the Streets of Marrakech Marrakech From £55
A forked lightning bolt strikes beyond the rooftops as a summer storm rolls across a North African medina at dusk. The illuminated minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque anchors the right frame against a bruised, layered sky, while warm sodium light from the city below stains the rain-curtain amber to the left. The tension between the artificial warmth and the cold storm front gives the image an unusual chromatic and dramatic coherence.

A Berbers Daily Routine, Sahara Desert, Morocco (Awarded) Awarded
Into the Dunes From £55
Twin sea arches cut through limestone headland as the last afterglow settles over a calm Atlantic. Long exposure has smoothed the water to a pale teal, drawing the eye through the archways to the open horizon. Isolated sea stacks punctuate the foreground cove.
Twin Arches, Last Light Algarve From £55
Two agave plants send up tall flowering spikes above a bleached desert floor, the larger specimen dominating the foreground against a featureless pale sky. The mono conversion strips back colour to reveal the structural contrast between the spent basal rosette and the vertical thrust of the bloom stalk. A second, smaller plant recedes into the arid scrub, establishing quiet scale and repetition.
Two Agave, Bleached Ground From £55
Twin sandstone stacks rise from a sheltered cove as the last light drains from a cloudless sky. The long exposure has smoothed the water to a pale mirror, emphasising the sculptural weight of the eroded cliffs that frame the scene. The location — characteristic golden limestone, layered cliffs, and sea-arch formations — is consistent with the Algarve coast of southern Portugal.
Two Stacks, Draining Light Algarve From £55
A moss-covered beech trunk rises steeply from the understorey of a Chilterns woodland in Oxfordshire, the worm's-eye perspective compressing a dense summer canopy into a luminous green ceiling. The upward viewpoint emphasises the tree's dominance while secondary stems behind echo the vertical thrust. Flat overcast light holds the scene together without distraction.
Looking Straight Up The Chilterns From £55
Heavy snowfall covered the three valleys in over a metre of snow late in the ski season across the French Alps in Courcheval. It smoothed out the rolling rocky landscape into undulating white mounds, right towards the jagged peaks of these huge mountains. Low clouds rolled over the peaks, almost like candy floss. You can see marmotte trails in the snow, having emerged from their winter hibernation.

From the drone’s unique perspective, Vietnams island town of Phu Quoc emerges as a vibrant tapestry of narratives. The turquoise river is the crucial artery of this town, hosting many fishing boats, some heading out to sea. On land, a mosaic forms – buildings, trees, and roads create harmony, leaving no inch of land unused. To me, this is where stories unfurl: the lives behind the structures, the journeys of boats and cars, and the whispers of history. This is what i love about drone photography, the perspectives which otherwise would be impossible. Award winner×2
