Photo 52 - 2011

After a mate from the football recommended joining the Talk Photography Forum, I decided to join in their 'Photo 52' project; Each week one of the organisers pulls a theme from the hat and participants post their take on the theme.

I thought it seemed like a pretty straightforward way to learn more about photography and so far it's definitely working.

Themes so far:


Week 1 - Accomodation

This was perfect timing for me, having just completed a maternity shoot with Penny, Dave and the soon to be Beau:

Week 2 - New

Week 3 - Style
 
My first attempt at light trails, and of course Kate leapt at the chance to justify buying herself yet another pair of Carvela shoes:




Week 4 - Open
 
My trip to the underground tunnels of Manchester provided the ideal opportunity for this theme. The can, opened with the old school ring pull, has also been left open to the elements since around 1983.




Week 5 - Hard

Once the playground giggles had subsided, I was planning on spelling the word 'hard' in nails, but on one of our regular countryside adventures with the kids, I spotted this:

Week 7 - Delicate

Izzy is by far the most delicate person I know:




Week 8 - Chaos

Another delve back into the world of light trails for Chaos (Theory):
