Day 12

Low Key

Just a little cleaning up was required. It was quite hard considering the angles involved to get the lighting to define the shape well

Day 11

Just a little experimentation today. Squiggles in PS on my monitor then shot them on-screen.

Nearly had to eliminate myself for cheating! So here is the PHOTO :D

Day 8

Backlighting

Day 7

NightShot
In an effort to increase my fitness levels I now cycle to work. I saw this bridge at twilight and using a newly bodged together clamp that I can fit to my bike (it's the only guaranteed solid object en route), I shot this
