My friend Roo laughing because I'm really funny. This week we were challenged to take a photo and use our speedlite in the process.

Out of the airplane window flying from Paris to London. This week we were challenged to take a photo of a landscape showcasing negative space.

Symmetry Landscape

A lamppost in my apartment complex. This week we were challenged to use symmetry in the landscape to create a new viewpoint. I took this picture because I thought the way the path diverged was an interesting form of symmetry and it balanced well with the lamppost.
