Day 28 and this could, technically, be the end of my macro challenge – but I think I am going to try and go the whole hog and do 30 straight days. It’s getting harder and harder now to find…
Day 27 of the macro challenge and today I have been experimenting with light. I chose one subject for the entire session and then altered natural and artificial levels to see the impact it would create. I made a conscious decision to do very…
