A photo challenge: After Dark

Once again I decided to join Tim for another of the assignments in the book 52 Assignments: Street Photography by Brian Lloyd Duckett.

The assignment this time was to go out after dark and produce a series of nine images, all focusing on a shared theme or idea.

My theme was neon lights and I was quite pleasantly surprised to find so many in our local shopping strip.

Here’s my set of nine images.

A photo challenge: Breaking the rules

A few weeks ago Tim started a street photography challenge and is posting his images in his blog.

As he was heading out this morning he asked if I’d like to join him today. Street photography is not really my thing, but I thought ‘why not’.

This week’s task was “to produce nine images that break the ‘rules’ of photography but still work… that might mean breaking rules of composition, rules about not ‘chopping off’ limbs or heads, shooting with a straight horizon, and so on”. [I just took that straight from Tim’s blog!]

Here are my nine images. To see the full image, you’ll need to click on it.

One thing that intrigues me is that we went to the same places yet took quite different shots. I like that.
