Ian Maggiore A close up of a plant covered in water dropletsIan Maggiore

Ian Maggiore: “Early morning frost in my back garden.”

Theresa Bennett A single flower Theresa Bennett

Theresa Bennett: “To help our garden butterflies, I planted a patio tub with cosmos seeds and was rewarded with a huge show of photogenic pink flowers. I think they make a fantastic monochrome subject.”

David Belton A sculpture of a scallop on a beachDavid Belton

David Belton: “The Aldeburgh Scallop is a sculpture on Aldeburgh beach, in Suffolk. I took this photo whilst on holiday there last year.”

Sally Esau A black cat walks along the roof of a whitewashed houseSally Esau

Sally Esau: “This house caught my eye whilst on holiday in Rhodes [Greece]. The gate was open and I could see there was washing hanging on the line and I also noticed the pretty pebbled mosaic pathway. Just as I got my camera ready to take a photo, a black cat strolled across the wall and I managed to capture it in the perfect position. I think the dark gates and the cat add a nice contrast to the image, especially with the monochrome effect.”

Sean Corlett A statue stands in the sea as waves crash on the shoreSean Corlett

Sean Corlett: “I had always wanted to visit and photograph the art installation on Crosby beach called Another Place, by Antony Gormley. I was travelling back through Liverpool on the way back from a training course and decided to head there. I took this shot with a slow shutter and handheld to give the picture a dreamy look.”

Phil Norton A close-up of a ram against a dramatic skyPhil Norton

Phil Norton: “A ram stands like a statue as a storm approached Chatsworth House [Derby].”

Glyn Hands A nun takes a picture with a cameraGlyn Hands

Piyusha Paradkar People lean in together in circle, looking down on the cameraPiyusha Paradkar

Piyusha Paradkar: “Kaleidoscope of family, through light and shadow.”

Uku Sööt A street seen from above as people cast long shadows on the groundUku Sööt

Uku Sööt: “Shadows tell a story reality can’t.”

Duncan Grey A wet scene outside a cafe in 1970Duncan Grey

Duncan Grey: “My then girlfriend posed outside a cafe in a London park. The window merged the customers into the path outside in a slightly ghostly way.”

Doris Enders Layers of rock can be seen in the mountains of ArizonaDoris Enders

Doris Enders: “Layers of the past. It’s taken in the Blue Mesa, in Arizona, which looks in black and white as stunning as in colour.”

Kate Snow Close up of a dandelionKate Snow

Kate Snow: “Dandelions have captured our imagination since we were children, picking and blowing the seeds into the wind. Their beauty does not fade as we age but is simply captured in different ways. Here, I use a macro lens to photograph the detail while allowing some aspects to blur, creating depths and an ethereal feeling as I try to capture the magic of the simple dandelion.”

Ludo MacAulay A man walks across a cobbled streetLudo MacAulay

Ludo MacAulay: “I was trying some street photography in Edinburgh recently and caught this man passing Melville Street.”

Tony Cook A figure walks past a tomb in a cathedralTony Cook

Evelyn Oakley: “I can’t resist a patch of sunlight on a white wall and the opportunity it presents for shadow play and monochrome photography.”

Elena Raikhlin Close-up of toilet rolls gathered togetherElena Raikhlin
