“ Makin Bacon ” As an extra bit of a challenge this week, the mini group I am in also had the option to follow a theme which was to use a frying pan, so I spent the last week thinking of all sorts of things I could do, but struggled to come up with many options. In the end, I decided to pick what I thought would make the most interesting image and set it up. While composing the image, it became obvious that the different colours around the cooker would be a distraction, so with that in mind I chose to create a B&W image. The pigs are a small amount of a large collection we seem to have acquired over the years and were the perfect size for the pan, so in they went. The image qualifies for the extra credit as it was the only picture I have taken all week. I used a mounted flash pointing to the ceiling
“ My favourite five ” After a lot of images had been taken, I eventually managed to put this together, these are my 5 wives, they are all great fun and fill the house with laughter most of the time. It is not really flattering using the two girls on the sides of the picture, as the wide lens isn't flattering at its edges as it distorts quite a lot, but Tina allowed me to use the images anyway. I think she has resigned herself to being the only model available while we are on lockdown. We both had some fun creating the image, but I had the easy part to play.
“ Circles in circles ” THis image was taken from the beach at Herne Bay in England, it is made up of 105 images all having a 30 second exposure, edited in lightroom, then merges in Photoshop. I also made a very short 4 second video from the images, there were some wispy clouds came over fairly low to the horizon but the sky was generally fairly clear Photo Location: Herne Bay Beach
