The 52Frames.com challenge for this week (ending Feb 18 2018) was Levitation – here’s the entry by Lisa Shea – what did you submit?

She wanted to do something trickier with a meditation cushion but ran out of time. Only 24 hours in a day!

This week’s 52Frames.com challenge is Architecture with extra credit of using a wide-angle lens. What will you try for? Get it in by Sunday, February 11th, 2018!

This is an old photo by Lisa Shea – she has to take a new image this week. She doesn’t have a wide angle lens for her ‘real camera’ so she’s going to play with the one she got for her cellphone.

Here’s what she took for this week. It’s using a lens add-on for her cell phone – you can see it here – Cell Phone Lens Kit

Here is what the scene looks like without the add-on. Lisa is standing in the exact same location. You can see that the wide angle expanded it in all four directions, although it also made it fuzzier.

What are you submitting? Let us know!

Kudos to BVAA member and talented photographer Al Weems!

His black and white photograph “Leather and Lace” was presented in the Providence Art Club Exhibiting Members Exhibition. It is on display now thru February 16th, 2018.

The image won the Dr. Stanley Summer Award for Photography at the Winter Members’ Show at the Providence Art Club! The Awards Judge was painter Justine Hill.
