Tried the "tell a story with Flat Lay" extra challenge for the #52frames_showusyourtoys theme this week.
I'm definitely embracing imperfections!

I'm still working on this challenge. These are so great - I really like the games image!
I don't really have many "toys" for #52frames_showusyourtoys, but took a couple of shots: a collection of my winter activity gear and a flat lay of some of our favourite board games' pieces

I didn't have many ideas for this week's #52frames_yourworstnightmare challenge, so I went with my first and only thought.
I used our doorbell camera to create a composite image inspired by a spooky scene from the horror film Hereditary.

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) from last night. Not very detailed, but still happy I captured something!
Thanks to @afischer.bsky.social for the inspiration - have a look at his amazing captures of this comet!

Intersection of shadows. Still on the hunt for 'shadows as subject' ideas for the #52frames_shadows challenge!
This idea failed - I couldn't get a clear shot with the camera hanging from my neck and the final image seemed a bit creepy - not what I was going for!

Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) in the early hours of 3 October, captured through the C8 with an ASI294mc and additionally with a Nikon D5600 and a Tamron 70-200 at a focal length of 130 mm. The #comet was also nice to observe visually and will hopefully brighten significantly. #astrophotography

I'm trying to better emphasize storytelling in my photos, so for #52frames_time, I photographed my Mom looking through an old photo album. Edited to emphasize warm, late afternoon (literally and metaphorically) light and time passing, yet held — in hands, in photographs, in light.
