#337 ASSIGNMENT: RUSSELL SHAKESPEARE
Australian Leica ambassador Russell Shakespeare invites you to go back to basics today for an assignment inspired by one of his early mentors/trainers. It's a challenge set for the next seven days; a way to think differently about how you approach making your pictures. We'll both be fascinated to see what you come up with, so email what you make to stories@photowalk.show

Russell Shakespeare invites you to embrace the basics once more for his assignment.
Usually, when out photographing nature I find myself drawn to take images of the details rather than the wider context - often using lenses between 85mm and 105mm. This was taken during my first time out using the Fuji x100v with the 23mm lens. I was rapidly losing the light but I loved the totally new perspective it forced me to have. I'm off to the woods this afternoon to try it out there!
