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...

52Frames Long Shutter Speed Week 12
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...
