Redo  Week 52

Redo Week 52

  The challenge this week is Redo. I chose the image I had done for Chaos for a couple of reasons. I enjoyed the process but was not happy with the end result. The oil pastel and Indian Ink etching is something I have wanted to experiment with. It was not a time...

52Frames  Break the Rules!  Week 51

52Frames Break the Rules! Week 51

  Break the Rules! is the challenge for this week, set by 52Frames. I am going away in a couple of days and then its Christmas so I wanted something that didn't seem too involved. I decided I would try and create an image from a photograph trying to make it look...

52Frames  Roll of 24  Week 50

52Frames Roll of 24 Week 50

    Roll of 24, the challenge from 52Frames this week, refers back to film photography. The idea is to shoot 24 photos and then just pick one. I decided to go with photography this week, partly as I had an idea shooting Xmas lights, and partly as I was busy...

52Frames  Animals  Week 48

52Frames Animals Week 48

  This weeks challenge set by 52Frames is Animals. I was rather pleased because I have some photos of heavy horses that I have been trying to get into one of the briefs. This week it’s an easy fit! I saw these horses being readied for the show at Poynton a few...

52Frames  Street Photography  Week 45

52Frames Street Photography Week 45

  The 52Frames challenge this week is Street Photography. I think its a great challenge, although I expect it was much easier at the time I took this, than it is now. I wasn't sure I would have time to do this justice, as it feels like setting up the exhibition...

52Frames  Chaos  Week 44

52Frames Chaos Week 44

  Chaos is the challenge this week for 52Frames. I took some quite nice photos of fallen leaves; autumn chaos. Then, I was sitting in last night and there were fireworks everywhere. It seemed a shame to miss such an opportunity! This seemed an ideal opportunity...

52Frames Details Week 43

52Frames Details Week 43

  This week the brief for 52Frames is details. I was a bit stretched for time and decided to try a photograph that would then be edited in photoshop. My first idea was my brush pot that I had planned to do a previous week and then didn’t. I then thought a peacock...

52 Frames Black and White Minimalism Week 42

52 Frames Black and White Minimalism Week 42

  This week 52Frames has set the challenge of Black and White Minimalism. I think this is quite similar to some of the other challenges. I thought I might do another white on black, maybe a feather. Then I came across photos of jackdaws outside my house that I...
