We invited keen photographers in Newcastle and the North East to send in their favourite shots - mostly taken in the region. The response was overwhelming.
Thank you to all who sent in. We will feature the pictures periodically on the website in features like this, or in themed collections, and in print in the Chronicle on Fridays when we can.

The collections usually include photographs of the region and we asked those taking part to tell us a little bit about themselves and their hobby.

He said: "I've lived in Blyth all my life with parents, brother and sister both younger. I'm 28 years old, and I'm currently unemployed. My hobbies are target shooting, sea/fresh water fishing, bike rides, drawing, gaming and I am a car enthusiast. I like going to car shows like Newcastle car show.
"Most of my pictures are of Blyth quayside and the beach. Sunrise photos are always good too. Countryside views if I am away on a break or out for the day. Some old buildings and churches with lots of detail are good too."
