From wildlife to striking landscape scenes, aerial shots and colourful snaps, there has been a real mixture.

Now it’s up to you to decide who will grace the calendar next year.

    All the photos for the 2019 calendar are excellent, we really are so lucky to live somewhere so beautiful. I thought that there would have been at least one photo of all the whales that have been seen all around Shetland this year in the 12 pictures for the poll, as there has been a lot of spectacular photos of a lot of different species of whales around this year.

    I’ve followed Steve Birrell’s work for some time now. In my opinion he is one best photographers Shetland has ever produced. With the ability to see the true beauty of his surroundings, he tells a simple, yet powerful narrative, conveying the raw beauty of these rugged and beautiful islands. He has that rare ability to not just take a photograph; but to take it’s viewer on a journey, capturing Shetland in all it’s rugged beauty, often using the power of natural light to convey atmosphere whilst focusing in on intimate subjects.

    As always, Steve Birrell seems to catch the very soul of both nature and man-made structures in one.

    Barry’s picture captures a scene one can witness all times of the year when strolling along the banks.
