This was an interesting and rather difficult 7/52. Sunday came and went with no thought at all for the week’s project. Monday came and went with no thought at all for the week’s project. Tuesday found me wide awake at 2am; up, showered, dressed for work, and sipping coffee by 3:45, with nowhere to go …

Phoneography Friday #4
For Photojojo University, class #1 An iPhone Camera Primer. The assignment: “Misuse the HDR setting on purpose. Shake your camera mid-shot while using HDR to get a sweet double-exposure effect.” Note: this is an outtake. You can follow my #PJUniversity coursework on Instagram @jamescockroft (note, however, that my profile is set to Private, so I’ll …

Midweek Macro #3
So. I left the macro shot for pretty much the last minute, and guess what? I’m not happy with it. I would go into my archives and pull one, but I’m in a really foul mood just now, so I won’t. I took this with the LX7, AP mode, f/1.4, 1/60th, ISO400, and gave it …
7/52-08 Macrobstractions
Well, I suppose I was a bit lazy this week, but I did want to shoot some Macro Abstractions again—it has been awhile, after all—and I am in the middle of building my own WordPress theme and doing some site optimization, so my shooting time was a bit limited. It was mostly laziness, though. At …
