A 500x500 px shot of the full moon in the night sky.

Submitted to the 'Creatively Challenged' group for the theme 'simplicity' - for me, photographing the moon is one of the simple pleasures in life. It sits in the night sky, a ball of rock, simple yet so intricate and astonishing, a thing of beauty that echoes back through eternity.

Experimental portrait of Chris Leese using the Slow Synch Flash technique - a long exposure with a moving camera, ending in a flash firing just before the shutter closes.

Experimental portrait of Adam Georgiou using the Slow Synch Flash technique - a long exposure with a moving camera, ending in a flash firing just before the shutter closes.

Sitting pretty in the clear night skies!

This week's challenge theme on the 'Creatively Challenged' group is "The Person Behind The Camera", with this aim:
"Traditionally the photographer remains securely behind the camera. This week lets be brave and be in our own photos. Try to take a photo that tells something about yourself too."

So this is a self portrait, taken on the home bench of the Manchester Phoenix Ice Hockey Club, where I am one of the team photographers!
