Local Wiltshire UK landscapes through the seasons, Constantly updated by month.
I come from a fine art, illustration and occasional photography career background (though music has always been my main thing), with running and increasingly cycling being my long term physical addictions and sanity preservers (along with the guitars and old motorbikes..).

After a few months though, I also started to occasionally take a Micro Four Thirds camera system (which still counts as a small sensor in my book), it just about proving wieldy enough, whilst giving the full conventional control that I missed with the Pixel - though you do have the ability to shape its output to a reasonable degree (more so lately - Dec 23 - with the Pixel 7 Pro), even without access to the more traditional physical controls and settings - a different approach for camera or phone. Pluses and minuses on both sides.
A rolling seasonal diary/record of photos grabbed whilst out running and cycling in the Grovely Wood area of Wiltshire UK. The main cameras used initially being a Google Pixel 4XL, or very early on, an iPhone 8. Much easier than trying to lug much larger and heavier dedicated cameras and lenses on a run. I have it with me anyway, so the old photography truism of 'your best camera is the one you have with you' definitely applies.

There are a lot of images on this site, so to avoid sky/cloud/tree/path/hedge/flower indigestion - probably best to not consume at a single sitting!
And yes, the same views/trees/paths etc crop up frequently, but the light and colours do change with the season (and moment), which is the point after all.
There will also be other sections on the site, including earlier photos and touching on areas of interest as I see fit, and randomly added over time - the common thread being the use of more compact cameras, and phones (hence the site name). This does mean that if you are looking for technically flawless silken images with no visible noise or artifacts, then this site is probably not for you; they are what they are. Having said that, the continuing improvements in tech - particularly phone cameras - means that this is becoming less of an issue going forward.
