So this New Year firstly had 2 midnights as Bangladesh turned their clocks back at midnight! Then it was a blue moon, and then the partial eclipse.....
Figures in a landscape. This project was interesting, I had to get away from taking portraits to using figures to illustrate scale in landscape photos. Some as you will see are of paragliders in different areas, some in front of the Annapurna Range and some from above giving a different perspective. Some photos may have the figure a bit too prominently but I still feel like they are landscape photos.
Framing the view differently. I had loads of fun with this. I chose to frame the Annapurna Ranges in different ways, although throughout our holiday they remained fairly elusive - at times we were not 100% they were really there! But when we could see them, they were amazing! Reading the task again I am not sure if this is what they actually wanted but this is my interpretation anyway! One was framed with a person. Some are subtle but all contain one part of the mountain range!
This project called for 'Interacting Subjects.' I have been out and shot this in London and Nepal but am not happy and so am looking to repeat it in Dhaka maybe.
