Clash.
An overdue Chronicle’s post. Saw this person at Kelmarsh reenactment and thought that the attire and modern technology mixture was quite amusing, but the oddest thing to me was the way he’s holding the camera. I’m not sure if it’s just me but if I take a portrait photo, I tend to have the side…

Day 6: Three Thirds.
Some say the rule of thirds is THE rule, others that it’s overused. I’m agnostic – the rule of thirds applies to some things and not others. All depends on how the subject interacts with the surroundings. Here, I tried to put the flower on the right third but it didn’t quite look right, then…

Where.
Third tool-box photo. The strange pillars are soft sanding tips for the drill. The silhouette is my miniature model (see my Gravatar). This photo is intentionally not monochrome, you can see some leaks of yellow on the left and red at the bottom.
