A shot of @ambermaep playing with a smoke grenade at the amazing UK Shooters summer meetup in Newcastle.

@ambermaep posing during the UK Shooters meetup in Newcastle, this time over the Tyne in Gateshead at a very cool location I had no idea existed.

S. Kristopher owning the bike she had never touched before. A little different on the editing but I'm rather fond of this one.

A couple of leaves on the ground, just playing around with my Canon 50mm prime.

A couple of images from a chilly walk over the weekend. Essentially the same shot but using slightly different methods for the shots and processing.
