52Frames set a challenge of night photography this week. This gave me a chance to use another photo reference I have had sitting around. A year or so ago I took some photos, with the ipad, of my neighbours house. The full moon and the house were behind the...
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...
