A journey of photographic adventure, Two Views was born by two friends having a blast and learning from each other on a photo shoot in the autumn sunshine, asking the question “How can we continue to push our photographic boundaries in terms of technical knowledge, new challenges and creativity and have fun at the same time?” The answer we came up with was to set ourselves a project every two weeks, and then publish the results together. Two Views of the same subject / idea or technical approach. By the end of this year we will have covered 26 subjects and produced at least 50+ awesome photographs, and have learned a huge amount along the way! We’d love your comments, critiques and ideas, and if you want to “play along” too, please do let us have your shots by links in the comments sections! TJ & The Brunette

Christmas by The Blonde


This was a hard one for me! I think we all "know" what Christmas looks and feels like, but it's not always easy to express! I went with the simple Christmas tree, and am pleased with my depth of field highlighting just one bauble. I used a bit of a soft focus tweak in editing which also had the added benefit of making the points of light from the lights look like little stars, so although not the MOST inventive photo, it does say CHRISTMAS!!! to me *grin* Two other variations on the theme are below, but I much preferred the composition of the one I finally chose.

    This picture is lovely as its simplicity says everything the topic requires... "Christmas". The bauble is crystal clear and yet as a viewer I want to see around it and what's behind it, and so I love the use of depth of field combined with the soft focus.
