Here we go...
So I failed this in 2010 and again in 2015 so this is "third time lucky". I'm doing this because I really want to think about the theme and make a decent image from it. It's mainly to try and improve my way of looking at the world, because it's my biggest weakness. Hopefully at the end of the year, I will have improved some.
I'm shooting on film, so a 7 day turnaround might be tricky in which case I might take the occasional holiday or fall behind. I'm not going to beat myself up for missing a week or two.
So here's week 0. Nearby.
I see this signpost everyday on my walk and it always amuses me that there are no distance markers on it. It implies, correctly, that these villages are quite close. I've photographed it several times and have yet to find a composition I like. This time I took my Automat out which shoots square format and has a fixed lens.

It's on a t junction that people "whip" round quite quickly, so I daren't stand on the road. Which leaves only 1 vantage point. I tried to frame the tree in the "space" under the right pointing sign and was faffing about for quite a while at the location trying to get it looking right. Still not overly happy. House out of shot to the left so I couldn't swing round a bit more to give some space. Probably had the wrong camera with me tbh.
