52Frames set a really interesting challenge this week: "Roll of 24".
This means shoot whatever you like, but act as if you only have a single 24-exposure roll of film in your camera.
This forces you to be much slower and more considered in your shooting, which is a far cry from firing off a burst of shots of each composition to make sure you get the shot you wanted.

I enjoyed this challenge.

I've included a contact sheet of the rest of my shots from the exercise after the jump.
I am really surprised by how happy I am with all of these shots. While there are some that are less good, I'm not truly disappointed by any of them, which is unusual!

I went out in search of photos at what seems to count for late afternoon at this time of year - 3PM!
The sky was beautiful after sunset, so I was pleased to have caught this group of birds against the gradient.
