Chris White: A Different Perspective

"While exercising and keeping up fitness I’ve used photography to keep myself active during lockdown.

"Tyndale Monument is often photographed, but I searched for a different perspective to capture a shot including the setting sun.

"I’ve visited the monument many times during childhood and adult life but have never paid attention from this angle.

"I’m still self-teaching myself photography and find it such an interesting hobby which goes in so many directions, it’s also a fantastic way to clear my mind from military life."

Dayne Roberts: Fallen Rose

"I have recently taken up photography and doing an online course during this strange time.

"The weather was bad outside so I thought I would try and be creative at home with a few bits around the house and this was the outcome.

"I don't have much photography equipment, just a camera and a tripod so I had to use items mostly found in my military kit like candles, torches and tape to hold the light in place.

"It was a very fun experience for me to shoot this!"

George Allcock: Pink Supermoon

"Since the lockdown has begun I have become more and more interested in the night sky.

"From following the International Space Station, watching the new Space X satellites launch and tracking them over the UK, two meteor showers as well as two supermoons.

"It was then that I began to photograph the moon as it was something I have never tried to capture even though I have been interested in photography for a long time."

Georgina Symonds: Gas Masks

"During lockdown I have been reminiscing with colleagues about my past service.

"I decided to edit a photo I took from when I was in Kuwait in 2003, in a bomb shelter during a suspected NBC attack.

"I think it is quite relevant considering the restrictions of COVID-19."

Daniel Booth: Brotherly Love

"My two boys enjoying a walk around Hudswell woods and making a hut."

Taylor Connelly: World's Gone Mad 

"Finally time to spend time outdoors and I found this."

Jenny Koutsou: Apache And The Moon

"I've always had a love for aircraft and I'm new to the photography world.

"The current lockdown and living near a base where helicopters land daily, has given me so much time to improve and perfect my images."

Lucy Beaty: Serendipity

"I wanted to take a photo of the sunset but my phone was still in selfie mode and I thought it looked amazing."

Sarah Hattle: On Top Of The World 

"I took this photo on a walk from our home during lockdown.

"This photo encapsulates it all for me and makes me feel like the luckiest person on the planet.

"My children (pictured) have had each other during lockdown and we are fortunate to live in such a beautiful location.

"It feels like we are on top of the world."

Tom Crawford: Flying Duck

"Photo taken on my exercise walk along the River Wye during the COVID-19 restrictions.

"Just makes me smile every time I look at it. Hope others enjoy it too."
