I spent much time today attempting to realise my vision for my [url=http://www.blipfoto.com/entry/3819307]365[/url]. I had a nasty panic when my reversing ring got jammed in the camera body and after that had not the heart for dicking about with very small DoF shots… I used multiplying rings for this, and a LR filter (PSKiss Lomo …

365:5 Five Gold Rings
It never fails to amaze me how a simple idea can be so very difficult to implement. I had a very hairy half hour when after playing with my reversing ring for a while when it became cross-threaded and I was unable to detach it from the camera body. eep! After that I switched to …
Flotsam
I went out to see what the post-storm world looked like. The road has been cleared but is still slippery with seaweed and the verge is piled high with kelp and rubbish. The sea is still sploshing over but everything is far calmer today. Nell has several new floats added to her collection. I liked …
365:4 Phlogisten
I am trying to use this 365 project as a learning vehicle and to accept that results that fall short of my vision are not failures, just a part of the learning process. It can be disheartening though when one’s own ineptitude is revealed. I shall keep on telling myself that in 361 days’ time, …
Three Dimensional Objects, Take 2
My 365 efforts today were unfulfilling. Nothing met my vision. I began with a trio of hats, intending to name the shot “A Hat Trick” I took around a dozen shots and nothing really worked, so I fell back on another pun and decided to photograph Three Dimensional Objects. I fiddled around for about an …
365:3 Three Dimensional Objects
Couldn’t decide between this and a trio of hats that I am calling A Hat Trick 🙂 None of my photos are coming out very well today but at least I am trying.
Two down, 363 to go
I was playing at “studio” work and trying to do a “two” for my 365 project (see user nybblets). This is one of the shots that didn’t make it, but I like it anyway. It constantly amazes me what I can achieve with the aid of my Canon. I used natural light, on a very …
Two in the bush
I took a lot of photographs of my intended subject (a pair of fountain pens) but liked not a one of them. Natural light (windows to either side but a dull and drizzly day) and a smoked mirror used as a reflector on the darker side. 363 days to go!
Whatamess
Nell may be in the shot but I really can’t blame the mess on her. Cropped this down as far as possible rather than reveal to the world just how untidy I really am… I moved everything from my bench this morning and made space to get the camera out and make a start on …
