Week 17 - Self

A reflection shot for this weeks theme. I like the wibbly wobbly reflection with the contrasting sharpness of the image on the right hand side

Week 19 - Grunge

A walkabout Shoreditch being trendy grunge I took this shot of some artwork and the rubbish bags. I think it fits the theme Grunge!

70-200mm lens

Week 18

A little behind with my photo a week project. In fact Ive slipped two weeks (Week 17 Self Portrait and Week 16 Poverty) as these need a bit more thought!
Onto week 18 with the theme "Exposed". Immediately thought of high key being over exposed then decided that was too obvious so a took this shot of a half naked organge!
50mm 1.4 lens

Week 15 - Complex

Another trek around the house and I came across my sons toy flying helicopter. Complex machinery! Done.....macro lens got another trip out for this shot! Cropped in to get the diagonal sweep of red (I do like red in an image). Minimum processing too. Great!

Week 14 - History

Ive had this old old, (very old!) book of photographs from my mothers side of the family. Edwardian/Victorian days gone by! In amongst the pages is a photo of Queen Victoria. Perfect for this weeks History shot!
Lens 50mm 1.4

Week 13 - Out of Context

What a tricky theme.....reallt struggled with this. I had a kind of idea in my mind but in reality it didnt really work.It was going to be a plate, knife and fork with the daffodil being the "food". Who eats daffs? Anyway.....compositionally it just wasnt working so I shot this and it will have to do. The daffodil in place of the spoon. Nice lighting and Im pleased that there wasnt much processing to do on it, virtually straight from camera which is good!  Used my macro lens & tripod

Week 12 - Emotion

So Ive rediscovered my macro lens with my Week 12 Emotion shot. I had thought about making one of my children cry by nicking their sweets but not wishing to be labelled a bad mother I took this instead.....a lucky find in my collection of buttons! I enjoyed using my macro lens. Hadnt used it for ages. (nor my tripod!) This Photo 52 project is certainly getting me to use my camera and equipment!
