One Step At A Time

Click image to view a bigger version

This is my first submission to 52frames, for the challenge "Perspective".
I was struggling with ideas to meet this challenge, and I drove round for ages looking for ideas.

I had got hung up on the thought of bridges or pylons, but failed to find anything that clicked. As I got home, I got to thinking about smaller subjects, and finally landed on the idea of boots.
This is what I ended up with.

Footloose

I came across this rather incongruous single shoe while I was on a walk a couple of weeks ago, and thought it made for an interesting photo.
A backup image today, in case that wasn't implicit...
This started out as the original 3:2 aspect ratio, but as I was uploading it to Instagram, I saw the square crop, and decided I preferred this composition.

Periodic Flair

My christmas cactus is looking lovely with its first big flower properly out now.

I almost didn't shoot anything today; work is endlessly tedious now.
I'm feeling worn very thin, and getting almost no enjoyment from work at all, which is relatively unusual for me.
This has sapped my creativity enormously.

Carpet

We had quite a nice day today, and I managed to grab this at lunch time.
I signed up to 52frames at the weekend, and was thinking about something for their challenge "Fill the frame".
I missed out on submitting this before the window closed, but I'm posting it here anyway.

My little Sony RX100 has been getting a workout over the last few days!

Peek

After a very grey few weeks, there were a few small windows this afternoon where we saw a little glimpse of the sun.
