So I have had a mid life crisis and have started my degree course studying B.A Hons in Photography.

First item on the agenda to break the ice was a walk around Cardiff shooting to briefs, one being covid-19, how its shaped the city and how shop fronts have been impacted. Here are a few images I shot on the day:

2. Croeso, which is welcome, but is it as you have to get past the wooden crate first, then there's the barrier and then the man!

I think #2 answers the brief very well!

An interesting array. #2,3,4,5 best typify I feel.

I ma not sure of the point of #6 and 7. The " altered shadows and highlights" seem to have had more effect on the white balance than the shadows/highlights. #7 is very blue.

Me being me I would really watch perspective with these buildings. Shoot straight or fix in post, I really don't care about that but I has to be upright.

If you want to get the full horror story wait for enforcers rugby tackling someone not wearing a mask or army nocking on the doors to push the tests.
