    Thinking "film" vs digital.

    Which backs up my hypothesis I guess. Those that could afford to, either through work or their own finances, would shoot more photos, and those that couldn't, wouldn't. So it isn't necessarily a given that people just shoot off hundreds now and it never happened pre-digital, but there was a...

    Hey everyone. It's been a while as work and life worked together to restrict my online time. But there's a parting in the clouds and I have time again! I'm going to pick up this challenge from here and if I get a chance I'll try and catch up with those I missed.

    weekly Lizzy23's 52 thats me i made it 1/2 way, won't get to the end

    I prefer the composition of number 2 but I wonder if it would be better if you lightened the area of the bridge as its quite dark?

    Shiny - I struggled with this week as my only shiny object was used for the previous weeks shot! And its late. And its not great. It has shine and I liked the abstract(ish) shot with the curve of the back against the background. Week 11 - Shiny by The_Oakster, on Flickr

    I like this. Great idea and composition but I gotta agree with Gramps, its a bit soft and I cant work out where the focus was. Saying that its still a good shot :D
