We knew Shropshire and Mid Wales was full of great, creative photographers but we’ve been amazed at the quality of the pictures you’ve sent to Star Witness over the past year.

We launched Star Witness on the Shropshire Star’s Instagram page in February as a way to showcase our readers’ photos – and you’ve done yourselves proud.

You’ve been grabbing your cameras and mobile phones and sending us your amazing photos.

They range from autumnal canal scenes to dramatic drone shots and atmospheric street scenes.

More than 6,200 have followed the Star Witness picture gallery on our Instagram site since it was launched and more than 260 of your pictures are now available to view.

The gallery offers a snapshot of our region as it moves from the seasons – from the frosts of winter to the sweltering heat of our best days of summer.

It documents big events and beautiful landscapes. But it also captures some of the hidden gems that can be found in our towns.

It is simple to take part in Star Witness.
