Week 8 - Topical
This is a real PABD, I'm afraid. Most of the topical subjects in the national news about Europe etc have little or no relevance over here, and our local news is currently small stuff, so I stumbled across this idea. Our family has an involvement in the Air Cadets spanning three generations, and with their 75th anniversary being marked and publicised on a national basis last month this seems fairly topical.
I was setting up a shot of the stamp cover and badge to publicise them on the squadron's Facebook page etc and had the idea of combining them with the newspaper article for my Topical image. Then decided to add the jersey with the badges for first aid, Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, shooting etc to act as a background, and it all got a bit messy. Exposure was also a challenge with the dark jersey and white envelope. I've spent a week trying to come up with a better idea but I'm falling behind again so here it is.
