52Frames Food. Week 46

    Food is the challenge this week for 52Frames. My friend suggested trying Pointillism. It is a technique I had never tried before so thought it would be good for this weeks picture. I had a look at a couple of tutorials on line which were helpful. I put...

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...
