Wires

Week 33 of the challenge ran from the 11/8/13 til the 17/8/13.

The theme was Wires.

I have to admit I hated the theme and the brief asked for the shots to be educational. I don't the shots quite fitted the last bit but I did my best. Most were quick and rushed so this week has not been a great week in terms of quality.

Portrait

Week 32 of the challenge ran from the 4/8/13 til the 10/8/13.

The theme was Portrait.

Instead of free choice or a specific brief for the week, we were given a brief for each day of the week to do a different type portrait each day. Some were easier than others and the dreaded self portrait was included. I tried to have a portrait shot of each member of my family, but my husband managed to escape, thanks to the street performers I photographed in London!

Leaves

Week 31 of the challenge ran from the 28/07/13 til the 3/8/13.

The theme was Leaves.

Quite a straightforward theme with a small twist, which was to photograph individual leaves rather than a whole group of leaves. Was quite happy with the twist as it meant I could use the macro technique which I love.

A Week in the Life.....

Week 30 of the Challenge ran from the 21/7/13 til the 27/7/13.

The theme was A Week in the Life.

So basically we had to photograph a week in the life of ourselves. Was a bit skeptical as I don't think my life is that exciting, despite being reminded that I meet celebs, go to concerts and so on. But it was not one of those weeks and despite that I did manage to get some shots, even if they were not the most exciting things I do!

Signs

Week 29 of the challenge ran from the 14/7/13 till the 20/7/13.

The theme was Signs.

With this theme, I went for a theme within a theme. It was not the most creative theme as I was looking to photograph the sign, while also showing what the sign was there for. I have also continued to now use photos which are edited as I feel a bit more confident about editing, though I still have so much to learn.

Upside Down

Week 28 of the challenge ran from the 7/7/13 til the 13/7/13.

The theme was Upside Down.

Going to make this clear right now, while I am happy with the shots I got this week, I really hated this theme. It is becoming clear to me now what I prefer taking photos of and what I am good at. Being creative is not included in any of that! So obviously, having to be created in producing pictures which were upside down, whether taken like that or edited later, was not my cup of tea. Most of the photos ended up being photos of shadows!

Day 1 - Rachael's Shadow

Day 2 - Owen's Shadow

Day 3 - Reflections in the Glass

Day 4 - Mattie's Shadow

Day 5 - Upside Down Drink

Black & White

Week 27 ran from the 30/6/13 till the 6/7/13.

The theme was Black & White.

Quite an easy week really and most definitely an enjoyable week. The brief was very simple, the photo could be of anything you wanted as long as it was edited into Black and White. Luckily, I love editing into black and white and always know what sort of shot I want to do so. As I popped into London this week, 3 of my shots were taken on the same day.

Day 1 - The Path to the Playground

Day 2 - A View from my Room

Day 3 - Boris Bikes

Day 4 - Millennium Bridge

Day 5 - Curved Building
