Tina hosts this week challenge (here’s a link to Tina’s original post) with this brief – ‘Show me some of the things you’ve learned about photography or any subject you choose.’ That throws me straight in to this image which I took last week….
Continue readingSH is the challenge host this week. He has chosen the theme – ‘Quiet Hours’ – and how we can show these hours in pictures. When I first read SH’s original challenge post I immediately thought dawn, dusk night time etc. However, I’ve since come around to looking at this in a different way, working out how I use quiet hours to benefit me, especially as a stock photographer.

I predominantly shoot images for stock so I’m always shooting on thirds with copy space and headings in mind.
