Day #36

Day 36 The last evening of spring

This is a flower with a sunset as the background on the last day of spring. Was stuck for an idea until I saw the sunset but , on it's own it needed a focal point so I used the flower. A little noisy at the bottom but beggars can't be choosers. This is the picture I might use for the theme shoot group as the theme is flowers.

Until tomorrow

Day #35

Day 35 Playing cards

So this is today's photo, it's a pack of playing cards I keep in my desk, I don't use them , I just keep them there. Thought this would make a good picture with the contrast of the colours and lines around the heart in the middle of the photo. Ace of hearts or ace of love? Started doing a theme shoot group on Flickr, so I shall let you know when one of the project 365 photos is of the theme.

Until tomorrow

Day 34 Diptych

So this is my first diptych! Not sure what to make of it other than it's better than I thought it would come out, although it is a little small. The link between the photos is the music and the headphones. Hope you are enjoying the blog.

Until tomorrow

Day #32

Day 32 Epee

So today's one is a little bit rubbish. I've been studying all day for my exams so I haven't had much time to take photos and I think this may be the case for the next few days. This is the inside guard of one of my Epees. It was in the bag by my desk and I thought it would make an acceptable photo. Anyway,

Until tomorrow

Day #31

Day 31 Wait

The walk back

One month in and these are the two photos I have for you today. The top one I took just after the storm left. I went for a walk around campus for the photo and decided that this would make a good shot. The second was taken on the path back to my house. The camera was set at a high aperture and long exposure and I just walked back holding the camera beside me. The lights are street lamps. I hope you've enjoyed the blog so far,

Until tomorrow

Day #30

Day 29 Inquisitive duck

Day 30 ducklings

My girlfriend and I thought it would be a good idea to feed the ducks on campus, one because she wanted to, and two because I wanted some pictures. I like the one of the single duck with alot of bokeh, because it's focused nicely on the eye. The other photo of lots of ducklings is cute! :-P

Until tomorrow

Day #29

Going to be a short one today. This is today's photo. It's a flower that is growing up the wall of one of the colleges on campus. Hope you all like it.

Day 28 Coffee Mug

Day 28 20p

Another two today and quite late again!. The top one is of a random coffee stained mug and saucer that I spotted on a bench on the Dover seafront this evening, and the second photo is of the coin slot of a telescope just opposite the bench. Hope you're enjoying the blog.

Until tomorrow

Day #27

Day 27 Flaking

Day 27 DANGER DO NOT USE

Ok so two for today. My original idea didn't pay off, I made the rookie error of thinking I could change lenses faster than a train travelling 100 yards, ahh well , live and learn. The top photo is the front bars of one of the luggage trolleys at the station where the coating is starting to decay and peel off, and the bottom photo is of the failed electrical test sticker on the vending machine in the Boots staff room. ( We don't use the machine)

Until tomorrow

Day #26

Day 26 Over head kick!

Taking a different style today, my brother was playing keep-ups outside and I took my camera down and we tried some different tricks to see what produced the best picture, hope you're all enjoying the blog.

Until tomorrow

Day #25

Day 25 Croatian football shirt

This is my Croatian football shirt that I bought for £15 when my local SportsDirect was closing down. I like the red and white checker pattern. As it's still relatively early for me to post a photo, I may post another later.

Until tomorrow

Day #24

Until Tomorrow

Day #23

Two for you today:

Day 23 Daisy with Bokeh

Day 23 Disease Control Strictly No Access

So I walked all the way to the church and did some shots for HDR (didn't post the final product because I seem to be doing HDR all the time at the moment and this one didn't come out very well) but on the way back I came across a small group of daisies which I took a picture of and the bokeh is quite good. For anyone who hasn't ever watched any digitalrev videos on youtube DO IT!! The guy is pretty funny and obsessed with bokeh!
Just before getting back home I walked past this farm gate which I almost ignored except for the sign on the gate. It's pretty old so I guess it was just left there after the foot and mouth outbreak. I think the sign works well with the black and white.

Until tomorrow

Day #22

Day 22, Money

Well this is a last minute shot. I went taking photos on campus and they didn't come out as well as I was wanting. This is a bunch of coins sat on a five pound note. I set it up as a 5 shot HDR and then cropped it quite a lot to get this shot. Hope tomorrow won't be such a rush to get a photo.

Until tomorrow

Day #21

Day 21, Folkestone Harbour Station HDR

So today's photo is of a disused railway station in Folkestone, UK. It's the Folkestone Harbour Station and was in regular service until 2001. In 2009 the line closure began. I have wanted to shoot this building for a few weeks now after locating it on a map. I thought however, that it was closed to the public but, although it's a decaying building and I would have thought all access would have been closed due to health and safety, you can just wander in! Hope you like the HDR, tried not to over do it, but I guess it's all subjective. Hope any regular followers I have are ok!

Until tomorrow

Day #20

Day 20 , It's a Risk

So, 20 days in and still posting them right up to the deadline! This is a risk board set out as if a game were being played. It has been pointed out to me that the battalion between the cannon and the cavalry takes away from the image, but hey, it's late.

Until tomorrow

Day #19

Day 19
Smarties love Day 19

Ok so two for you today, a moody black and white hand and a happy love heart made from smarties! I thought the hand needed something in it but everything I tried wouldn't work so I just went with the hand as it is. The Smarties love heart was a spur of a moment thing and , yes I was a bit rubbish at being all manly , because it's for my girlfriend :-P

Until tomorrow

Day #18

Day 18 Phonebooth

Reverted back to B&W for today, this is the phone box right by my house on campus. I went for a walk with my girlfriend and took the camera and thought this would make a good capture for today. Any thoughts by the people who are following this blog? Anyways,

Until tomorrow

Day #17

HDR of Allsaints Church Waldershare Day 17

So this is today's photo, I tried some HDR and it came out quite well, next time a higher F number maybe to get a little bit more detail, but other than that it was pretty good. If you click the picture it'll take you to the Flickr page where you can see the HDR of the inside of the church.

Until tomorrow

Day #16

Light trails, Day 16

So another late one, tomorrow will be earlier I promise! I went onto the bridge over the dual carriageway with my brother to take a few then tried to layer them up... harder than it sounds without photoshop! Hope you're enjoying the blog

Until tomorrow

Day #15

Project 365 Day 15 (vessels and lobster baskets)

Fish Baskets

Tree tunnel


So today there are three photos because I couldn't decide on which one I liked the most. The boat one I like because of the flapping flag, I like the colours in the fish basket picture and I like the one taken while driving because it's a new way of experimenting with the camera. I took these when I went out to Deal tried some HDR but failed miserably so I might try again tomorrow.

Until tomorrow

Day #14

Project 365 Day 14

So today's photo is a couple of wires and a bulb that my Mum has to teach science. I thought they'd make a colourful photo and bring the BW:Colour ratio back up to 1:1, It's a lack of Radiohead and The Smiths I think!

Until Tomorrow

Tom

Sunday 8 May 2011

Day #13

Day 13

So this is today's shot, coloured size labels on an envelope. I was going to use a white piece of paper but I thought they'd work better with the lines of the envelope. Hope you all like it,

Until Tomorrow

Day #12

Day 12, grand shaft and redoubt flickrmeet

So today me and my brother spent most of the day out with the guys from East Kent Cameras, a Flickr group who do a lot of Flickr meets, and today's was in Dover at the Grand Shaft and the Drop Redoubt. Brilliant sunshine , brilliant time had by all I think. Check out their page at http://eastkentcameras.weebly.com/ or their Flickr page at http://www.flickr.com/groups/east-kent/ . This is of the Grand Shaft looking up from the bottom, It's a massive underground set of stairs. Its a triple helix meaning that there's 3 sets of stairs going round each other, Impressive stuff.

Anyways

Until Tomorrow

Day #10

Day 10

So I've made it 10 days! Anyone paying attention will notice that this is 20 minutes before today's deadline, oh well. This is the bridge of my Gibson firebird guitar, again in black and white. Tomorrow will be more photographically productive I hope.

Until tomorrow

Day #9

Project 365 Day 9

Just been on an evening walk round Parkwood and saw this overflow parking sign on the floor. I shot the whole sign but it looks better just the arrow and in black and white. See what I can get tomorrow.

Until tomorrow

Today's photo is of the Breast Cancer Charity ribbon that I wear on my work shirt. I tried to take some photos of partridges in my garden but they didn't come out terribly well. Hope you're all ok,

Until tomorrow

Monday 2 May 2011

Day #7

Day 7

So today's photo is of a smashed keypad on a wall in Dover. I think it's an old one that was used to get to the college but I'm not sure. Again, this was taken in my lunch break and it looks nice in black and white.

Until tomorrow

Tom

Sunday 1 May 2011

Day #6

Day 6

So today's photo is of the dart board that we have in the Boots staff room. I'm slowly starting to run out of obvious things to shoot... I guess it adds to the challenge. I want to start to shoot people, but I don't have a decent set up for it. Any ideas?

Until Tomorrow

Tom
