Shaun is based on Mersea
Island on the North Essex coast.
‘I find photography is the perfect
stress reliever for my hectic day
job and spend as much time as
I can out and about with my
camera, usually taking
seascapes but trying to also
branch out into city and street
photography, as and when I get
the chance. This little dinghy has
been abandoned for many years
on the salt marsh off the coast
of Mersea Island. The reeds
behind provide a lovely textured
background.’ Chosen by

This image was taken by Matthew in the South Weald
Country Park in Brentwood, Essex. He describes himself as a
‘hobbyist outdoors photographer’. As he explains,
‘Decreasing the clarity in post added to the mystery of the
fog, while gently lifting the saturation of the oranges and
yellows allowed me to portray the explosion of colour
I wanted to capture.’ He uploaded this image to Instagram
@mj.everett_ using the hashtag #appicoftheweek.
