As I haven’t been out with the camera too much lately, I’ve decided to force myself to get out and take a photo a day for the next month starting today.

Due to personal circumstances, I’m not that motivated, but I hope that this will keep my mind off things for a while at least.

I decided to keep today’s photo seasonal by cutting some of the horribly invasive hops from the bottom of the garden.

These were photographed using a homemade snoot made of Funky Foam attached to the flashgun. This forms a narrow beam of light with a strongly defined edge, which resulted in the background being completely black even though the room was nowhere near dark.
