This week's 52Frames challenge is Inspired by an Artist!... well actually a photographer but I did Artist. All week I have been carrying a book around about Artist Dahlov Ipcar (https://www.dahlovipcarart.com/gallery). I came across her work a few years ago and...
The challenge put by 52Frames this week was abstract. This is, in theory, almost easier in art than photography. When I was in Pembrokshire with friends a couple of years ago, I took some photos of interesting rock formations. I thought they would work...
Eventually finished this image and here is the final for Flat Lay. I cut out a stencil and then sprayed paint with a toothbrush. I have aslo put some metallic paint over so some are shiny. They are painted onto a technical document of my dads' with some details...
The challenge from 52Frames for the first week in May is Flat Lay. I knew what I wanted to do for this and used some more of my dad's spanners to create an image. I then drew them out and planned to cut out the shapes and create stencils. I hoped to stencil them onto...
This weeks 52Frames challenge is Leading Lines. I wanted to use a reference picture from Orkney that I took several years ago. I did not intend to do this in oil pastel, but then I thought I could try out a technique I had seen in a book I am looking at, of...
The challenge for 52Frames this week is Lamp. The challenge specifies that the lamp must appear in the image. I decided I would try and use one of my glass oil lamps, which oddly I had just put oil in for the first time in years! The background was a purple...
This week's challenge for 52Frames is Extreme Closeup. The suggestion is to create an image that occupies the whole frame. I did a real closeup of a leaf for an earlier challenge, so did not want to do the same thing. It would be fair to say I was not feeling...
The challenge for 52frames this week (https://52frames.com/albums/2022/week-14-nature/challenge) is nature. This is a very wide brief. I would normally do a bird or maybe a reptile or insect. One of the options suggested is landscape. This is something I...
The challenge for 52Frames this week is to show emotion in your image. I looked at ways of displaying emotion; colour is important and in portraits you are advised to concentrate on the eyes. A lot of images showing emotion seemed to concentrate on sadness or...
This week the challenge set for 52Frames is Long Shutter Speed. I thought it would be interesting to have a go and see if I could depict movement in some way, the sort of blurring you can get with long shutter speeds. Some years ago at Festival at The Edge I...
