"If your bathtub was overflowing, you wouldn't reach for the mop before turning off the tap, right?" questions Your Shot photographer Gabriella Morton. "This is part of a creative campaign I made to raise awareness around ocean plastic for Project Blue Documentary. When we throw something ‘away’ our minds do not think about where that away is. More often than not our away is either to landfill or another country, where they are paid to deal with it. This results in plastic materials being dumped, burned or buried-- each with their own huge environmental consequence."

"One of my favorite things to shoot on is film. I actually prefer it to digital about 80% of the time. One of the reasons why I love film is how unforgiving it is," writes Your Shot photographer Hannah Overeem. "You really have to know and understand the craft, but also there is so much about it that you can't control. Which results in complete raw, and sometimes stunning photographs. This is an image from the first frame of a roll. Sometimes I won't advance the film all the way to the first frame to create this cool flare effect."

"Even so we managed to see a few humpback whales fluke and fin slapping in the distance. On the return from the headland besides the old lighthouse I practiced a few panning shots as the waves pounded in."
