We had elections for the new police and crime commissioners today and on my way to voting I took this shot. I was particularly taken with the fact that this shot could have easily been taken anytime in the last 40 years and so thought it was a good candidate
My go at the archetypal kiwi fruit shot. It should be done on a light table…I don’t have one, so just held it up in front of a bulb. Seems to have worked OK…
Long day today – my company moved offices over the weekend from Harlow to Hatfied which adds an extra 30 mins to the journey. Coupled with having to get to my photography class in Chelmsford for 7 I had completed a lot more miles than I would normally drive in
