Just a couple so far from this week's theme. Bah. I need to revisit with more time .

Another busy bee. I love the subtle self portrait in the second one.

Week 14: Morning

You've been busy! These are all great, and that last one especially with the dusty light is just lovely.

The results of one fruitful Sunday afternoon stroll.

Turtle Mountain a couple of weeks ago.

Oops wrong thread. May as well let it stand even though it's only a partial frame.

After nearly two months of selecting and editing, I can finally share some of my photos from my trip through France and Spain in March. Focusing mostly on framing during my travels helped me sharpen my photographic eye and capture moments with intention. This deliberate approach allowed me to omit subjects that didn't fit the theme and capture others more intensively, hopefully resulting in a cohesive style that visually connects my images. This experience – as well as the P52 in general – has taught me the importance of intentionality in photography, reminding me to slow down, observe, and truly engage with my surroundings before capturing a shot.

Overall, my photographic journey through France and Spain has been an invaluable learning experience, refining my style and enabling me to effectively capture and convey the essence of each moment.

To give you some context about the photos:

PARIS

This one was taken in the metro in Paris while crossing the river Seine – a very popular Instagram photo spot with a view on the Eiffel tower. I captured, at least that’s what it seems like, two locals, staring outside the window and looking only merely impressed.

DONOSTIA-SAN SEBASTIÁN

The sea, the beaches, the food – only three reasons to visit the beautiful town of Donostia-San Sebastián. It is not only a great photographic location but also a perfect holiday location!

PAMPLONA

While in Pamplona, I stumbled across this procession of Gigantes y Cabezudos, that is usually only held in July on the occasion of the Sanfermines, the festival of San Fermín. In the foreground of the first photo, there is a statue that is dedicated to the running of bulls.

ARLES

The city of Arles offered a lot of opportunities to focus o framing. Especially it’s Roman amphitheatre and its surrounding buildings allowed for some interesting perspectives – either using arches to frame a church tower, or a rear view mirror to capture the amphitheatre and a church tower at the same time.

What a fantastic series. I love the last one of the Paris set.
