Day 52

Had a really nice afternoon walking around Norwich with my son and the Grandchildren ( not his! ) We went into Norwich Cathedral which was lovely. I took loads of nice photos of ceilings, windows and the like but the one that struck me as meaning something and capturing a moment was this one.

It's a candid moment as a couple of friends look at the candles just prior to lighting one themselves. I hope it leaves you wondering what they where reflecting upon at this moment in time.

Day 51

Spooning is Fun!!
I was really stuck today for inspiration but then remembered a magazine I had read in the last few days and there was a really cool shot of a spoon on a textured surface. So this is my homage to that photo.

I actually had a fair bit to think about with the lighting and positioning of the spoon and camera. I think I'll probably go back to this set up again to see what I can do with it.

Day 50

Well it's the first if the desperate shots today not too bad considering it's day 50! Still it's a well taken abstract of a fan heater in my hotel room.

I've had a long day at work and did go out and about after work but the grave yard I had eyed up was closing just as I arrived and they were fairly adamant not letting me in to take a couple of low light moody shots of graves and snow drops. Never mind there is always next time.

I suppose the good thing about this is no matter how yuck I felt I still took the shot. I almost talked myself out of it but I just had to post something for the day.

On the website I also post to a fair amount of the contributors seem to put in fillers. I suppose it's ok as it's not my project. For me though it's about doing this everyday.

Day 49

The thing about this project is it's getting me out and about after work. Now I've stayed in West Didsbury a fair few times and only today found out that there is a lake and river only a short walk away!

Ok so it's not the nicest weather for landscapes but as there was loads of birds I thought I'd do the Swan shot!

 

Thought about the composition on this and tried to get a nice balance with the two swans and the little bird.

Day 48

Well at least I think it is! Wow it's been a difficult one today not much to look at when you're driving for 5 hours and getting stuck in traffic!

Still managed to take a photo though. I'm sorry it's not up to much but it's what is out there at the moment converted to black and white for effect!

Day 47

Interesting point of view for today got myself laying on the floor and close up. Wesley was laying flat out in front of the fire. Put on the 35mm f1.8 to give a nice perspective and shallow depth of field then waited until he gave me his best "What?" look.
I wanted the happy comfortable look and I'm happy with this result. Just warmed up the white balance to add to the feeling of the picture.

Day 46

So it's the day after the big day of love and there's only one thing to photograph, yup the humble red rose.
Always a pleasure taking photos of flowers and the hint of water always adds a little something i think.

It's a quick blog post for me today as there's a lot going on but suffice to say I'm really enjoying this project and thanks to a new book from Ben I've got loads more ideas of things to try out!!
