The best pictures on social media this week

#appicoftheweek At Manchester Art Gallery by Daniel Carson Canon EOS 5D Mark III, 50mm, 1/3200sec at f/1.8, ISO 250

*PLEASE ALLOW UP TO 28 DAYS FOR DELIVERY

‘This image was taken inside Manchester Art Gallery and was in fact only my second portrait shoot. In the beginning, I found it nerve-wracking and having people in front of the camera and posing the models was very difficult. I find having a conversation with the model before I start shooting helps make them feel relaxed and more confident.’ Daniel uploaded his image to Instagram using the hashtag #appicoftheweek.

We also likedÉ An Idleyld Fall By Joe FrugŽ Sony Alpha 7R II, 17mm, 13sec at f/11, ISO 50 ‘I started getting into photography about three years ago. My main focus is landscape as well as street photography but over the last year I have branched out into whitewater sports as well as band photography – both have been extremely rewarding. The settings I chose for this picture allowed me to get the creamy and dreamy look that I wanted in the falls while also keeping focus throughout the scene, with little noise. Hiking with my tripod for a mile was essential in getting the shot that I had envisioned.’ See more at www. instagram.com/frugephoto. Chosen by Andy Westlake, Technical Editor 12

Last Light on the Seven Sisters By Edd Allen Nikon D810, 18mm, 2.5sec at f/9, ISO 200, Benro tripod, LEE filters ‘I’m a photographer from Eastbourne. I love exploring the local coastline and woodland looking for new photographic opportunities. This was taken at Birling Gap in East Sussex. Conditions were looking promising, so I made a quick dash to catch the sunset. I was rewarded with some wonderful light breaking through and illuminating the Seven Sisters. The moment only lasted a few minutes, but I was glad I’d made the effort. I used various filters to control the intense light and a tripod to steady my camera against the incoming tide.’ Edd uploaded this to Twitter using #appicoftheweek.
