Lens-Artists Challenge: Harmony
Posted on September 25, 2026
This week’s challenge is to portray the concept of ‘harmony’. It seems to me that symmetry is one way of showing harmony.
The Saint-Martial Centre in Limoges is a relatively small city centre shopping mall. Somewhat unusually, while the car park is at street level, the three floors of shops and restaurants are below it, due to the fact. that the building is set into a sloping street.
As a consequence, it’s possible to look down onto the shopping levels, in this instance providing a harmoniously symmetrical, yet somewhat arresting image.
Lens-Artists Challenge: Unusual Crop
Posted on February 17, 2026
The challenge this week is to crop an image to provide a new slant on the subject. This is one of my favourite parts of the editing process; after all, isn’t it always good at least to try and find a new angle on a subject?
For this exercise, I’ve cropped and rotated the original photo, which is of the exterior of one of the smaller shopping malls in Abu Dhabi, to produce something that is at the same time structured yet almost abstract. For comparison, I’ve also reproduced the out-of-the-camera image below.
