Week 14/52 – Lovely weekend spent in a village outside Alicante, Spain called Busot for their fiesta. This is taken on the Sunday where there is a flower offering paraded down to the local church of San Jose. Managed to capture the fiesta mural in the background as well.
Hi Bett
Have you continued on your 52 week project at all? I know you go out regularly so presume you have enough shots to cover the project anyway!
Love the depth of field you have achieved here Frank. I didnt get any shots I was truly happy with on the night but loved all the enthusiasm shown by everyone. I was so taken with your “multiple hands” gizmo that I bought one myself as can clearly see the benefits for macro use.
Week 13/52 – Bought this snakeshead flower a few weeks ago and decided to use it for this weeks image. I liked the desaturated high-key style and the white border seems to help it (hopefully a judge wouldnt say it was blownout as the border is pure white!)
Week 12/52 – Using my Pixel phone I took numerous shots all from slightly different angles for a multiple exposure of a local tree with its apple blossom.
Week 11/52 – An enjoyable weekend spent visiting Port Lympne & Howletts wild animal parks. This image was taken at Howletts with an African Elephant touching his eye with another elephant in the background.
Week 10/52 – Below is the result of 12 images focus-stacked using my 105mm Sigma macro lens. This was partly made possible by Frank’s demonstration of his “Helping Hands Soldering Station” at our macro evening. I was so impressed by it that I got one myself! It really helps with arranging macro shots and I will likely use it again later in the project.
Week 09/52 – Had a fun evening creating different spirographs from a dangled light on string. Added a few coloured gels and used an LED ring light in the center exposed for a few seconds. No Photoshop trickery needed! I would thoroughly recommend trying this technique, its lots of fun
Week 08/52 – Went to a farm shop and bought these carrots with their stems still on. So decided to try to arrange them in a pleasing format and went for a square crop.
Week 07/52 – Great opportunity to capture crocuses this week. Even better that they are in our garden so could pick the brief moment the sun was out to capture them open!
Week 06/52 – With a recent feline addition I went for a family portrait this week. Used a softbox behind and just in front of each portrait to let light fall on nearside of face.
Week 05/52 – Went for a surreal image this week using fruit and tieing them together like balloons. Had to ensure there was a reflector on the floor to bouce light back up to hit the “top” of the fruits. Interesting challenge to think upside down. Also flipped the bow as well to maintain the illusion.
Week 04/52 – Went to Canary Wharf to enjoy the Winter Lights festival. Took lots of shots so decided on a triptych to show some of the items on display. Well worth a visit!
Week 03-52 – 3 Donuts. The lowest donut was propped up with a cocktail stick. The other two are held up with kebab skewers which I then removed. Had a softbox to the right and a speedlight to the rear left. Finished by sprinkling sugar which I added in on separate layers.
