#307 ASSIGNMENT: JIM SOLLOWS #2
A photographer for 45 years, mentoring and training new photographers to work with film and established ones to be reacquainted with the medium, Jim Sollows sets this week's Assignment. We'll be thinking like we're shooting with film, though listen for the full story. Digital camera shooters can take part really easily and below, in the SECRET PEEK, a not so secret set of thoughts just incase you don’t have easy access to a printer.
Send your pictures to studio@photographydaily.show - 2000 pixels wide, any orientation you prefer; square, portrait, or landscape.
My thanks to our wonderful patrons and MPB.com who sponsor this show; the number one company in the UK, the US and Europe when it comes to buying, selling, and trading used camera kit online – it’s a safe place to do business, with guarantees upon what you buy.

The challenge in this edition is to ‘shoot a roll of film’ - and if you photograph digitally, that means limiting the number of pictures you make to 36. Jim asks you to choose one image, print it and take a picture of that photograph or better still hold that print and ask someone to make a portrait of you doing so. If you don’t have access to a printer, send in a selection (suggested 6) of the pictures that lead to your decision for a favourite, like a mini contact sheet to studio@photographydaily.show
Here are my submissions (above and below) for Jim Sollows assignment which I really enjoyed doing. The first image was taken on the 06 of June and the last one was taken on the 13 of June. They were shot on my Lumix TZ-95 in manual mode, at an ISO of 100 and in black and white JPEG. You may also notice that there is a running theme through the set of images, of water. I, with a couple of friends, am doing a monthly challenge with water as the theme, so I combined both together.
