Monty is in the lead by Robert Gould Canon EOS 7D Mark II, 160 mm, 1/1000sec at f/2.8, ISO 320

Bob Gould is a retired aircraft engineer, who lives in Caerphilly, South Wales. He spends his time between home and exploring the canal network on his narrowboat Gimme Shelter. This image is of his and his daughters’ labradors taken on top of Caerphilly Mountain in South Wales. He uploaded it to Flickr using the hashtag #appicoftheweek. He explains, ‘My daughters held the dogs out of sight and released them on my signal. I was lying down, supporting the camera on my elbows. I used back button focusing to pre-focus on the horizon and shot as they came into sight.’ See more at www.flickr.com/photos/bob gould. Chosen by Michael Topham, Reviews Editor

Portrait of my Daughter by Jay Mason-Burns Fujifilm X-T20, 25mm, 1/125sec at f/1.8, ISO 320. Shot in raw, converted in camera to Fujifilm Acros Red film sim with strong grain

‘I am a street photographer from south Birmingham. I shoot with Fuji, which I enjoy because it allows me to use vintage and budget lenses, such as the £40 Neewer 25mm prime that I got for Christmas. This is my daughter Isobel shot in our local park.’ Jay uploaded this to Twitter using #appicoftheweek. See more of his images on Instagram and Twitter @ jayjayjjetplane.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Fragments in Time by Daniel Ruffles Nikon DF, 85mm, 1/60sec at f/2.8, ISO 100 ‘I live in Aldeburgh in Suffolk and am surrounded by a beautiful coastline with lots of photographic inspiration. I’ve been exploring this area with my camera for the last five years. I’d noticed these reedbeds in some marshland and I captured a few different compositions of them, purposely overexposing the image to draw attention to the strong lines of the reeds, shooting at f/2.8 to give some subtle fall-off. This in return gave a pleasing abstract quality.’ See more on Twitter @danielianphoto. Chosen by Andy Westlake, Technical Editor

Corfe Storytales by Emily Endean Fujifilm X-T3, 70.5mm, 10sec at f/7.1, ISO 160 ‘I enjoy being outside, capturing the beauty of the world through my lens and chasing the light and the weather at its best, mainly around Dorset and Hampshire. I had the pleasure of a night-time storytelling walk around Corfe Castle, with only the main pillars lit and some small lights on the steps to guide the way. Beforehand, we made a quick pit stop to take in the view from the village streets. This place never disappoints.’ See more on Facebook Emily Endean Photography. Chosen by Geoff Harris, Deputy Editor
