365 Project - Day 352 - Light Seperation

Day 352

Today, I am torn between two different moments that I captured. The one above ultimately won a spot for Day 352. Luckily, I am planning another project, actually several, to give the non-365 images their day to shine. For now, here is a weed that I captured and used a shallow depth of field to get a smooth bokeh light off the back of a passing car. Since the weed dipped below horizon, the light gives a nice separation of the weed and the background. Have to always be thinking outside of the box.

Enjoy.

365 Project - Day 351 - Cleaning House

Day 351

Outside the office window today, this guy was cleaning the bricks, but only the tan bricks and not the red ones.

Enjoy.

365 Project - Day 350 - Running out of Time

Day 350

With 15 days left, it's time to lace up the running shoes for the final stretch of this project. I feel like writing a book about all I've learned from the journey and those who I have learned from on their own 365. For anyone who happens on to this blog, project, or page...If you take nothing else from what I, or the other 365ers have done, it should be that no accomplishment can be completed without the first step! Whether you a photographer, teacher, farmer, or just someone dreaming big, a plan has no progress without action. Don't let the small stuff stop you. No gear? rent or borrow it. No one to shoot, ask a cousin or friend and buy them lunch. No time? Turn off the TV, you will be surprise how much time you have. There is no good reason why you shouldn't be practicing you craft daily whatever it is. Working hard is not a chore, it's a necessity for success. Make a change tomorrow, big or small, just make one.

Enjoy.

365 Project - Day 349 - Misty Night

Day 349

Sometimes you just have to go for it! Coming home around midnight, we past this field that had between 1-2 feet of fog on the ground. After getting Sara into the house, I ran back out to shoot a timed exposure with the tree and fog. It's too bad there wasn't more fog to work with, but I do like the look of the shot. I am glad I went out and shot the image, otherwise I would be kicking myself in the morning for not going out and shooting it.

Enjoy.

365 Project - Day 348 - Cell + iPOD light

Day 348

Tonight, I had a Mountain Dew Throwback with Real Sugar, so now I'm Real(ly)awake. I used the flashlight app again, but then also used my iPOD screen to light the other side of the subject. While I do have images that have the can more luminated, like the look of the 90 degree side light, blacking out the front.

Enjoy.

365 Project - Day 347 - Alternate Light

Day 347

A soda bottle, cell phone, and a camera...why not use them together to get an image of the day. I downloaded the flashlight app on my phone then, at 100%, placed it behind the glass bottle to light it. I was surprised at how the light traveled up the bottle. Experimenting is always fun.

Enjoy.

365 Project - Day 346 - After The Rain

Day 346

Just because it's raining outside, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be out trying to capture a little beauty. As the sun was going down, there was a slight down pour, I went out to see what memories I could make. I ended up under a pine tree looking through the needles for places to shoot that were also protected from the rain. But I happen to catch a drop of water amongst the needles and bark. I guess you don't know what you are looking for, until you find it.

Enjoy.
