I'm moving on from Olbia now to the next day of our cruise and the port of Ajaccio in Corsica. There was a bit more to see here and it runs to six pages:
(The numbers are my page count for last year.)
98. Ajaccio
This is my sub-title page which divides the album into sections for each place we visit. I used a panoramic shot of the port, which I printed as two 4x6 photos then cropped and overlapped them.
99. Au Marché
I went with a French title for a page from a French island, and used the December sketch from the 1 Sketch : 3 Ways Facebook group for my page with a column of smaller photos from the market. The fish print paper is one I didn't think would use from the Set Sail pad, but is just about on theme here.
100. Maison Bonaparte
Ajaccio is the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte, and his family home is now a museum. I chose six photos in a mix of sizes and orientations, then laid them out on a grid in the centre of the page.
101. Citadelle d'Ajaccio
This old fortress was recently opened up as a public space, and I printed five photos for my page, but only four made the final cut - a view across the inner courtyard and three of the ramparts.
102. Catedrale Santa Maria Assunta
Three photos of the cathedral on this page, and my initial thought was to put them in a column overlapping a vertical panel of paper. However that would have been getting repetitive and I wanted some variety; I pushed a few papers around until I hit on a grid of eight patterned papers, something I haven't done before but it will be easy to repeat in different sizes and patterns.
103. Place d'Austerlitz
Last page from Ajaccio, with photos of Napoleon's statue in the Place d'Austerlitz. My page is a version of the March 2011 4x6 Photo Love prompt from Shimelle Laine.
