This week's challenge is Negative Space. For photographers this is about creating empty space to emphasise the main subject. In art however the artist draws the spaces around the image. This technique can produce some fascinating images as well as more abstract...
The challenge from 52Frames this week is Pattern with an extra challenge of Pattern in Nature. I liked this as a challenge and had thought I might use photos of some stones I had found on the beach in Orkney. When I came to look at them though I felt they would...
This week's challenge is What Is It? At first I was truly uninspired and then I had a thought and completed my image all in one go this afternoon. It went really quickly and I thoroughly enjoyed it, which is great as I spent the first half of the week having no...
The challenge for 52Frames this week is Shoot from Above (https://52frames.com). I have been doing quite a lot of online jigsaws recently and really enjoy the aerial landscapes. I thought I would look for something on line. It is the first time I have used...

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...
