#26 of 365.

Went back to the flowers for today's one. Got the isolating background in camera using an off camera flash and a very small aperture. Other ambient light came from the dining room ceiling light.

Took this shot of the arch leading into Liverpool Chinatown. It's Chinese New Year on Friday.

I colour splashed it to highlight the arch.

Brilliant shot lovely detail fantastic stuff.

 

[Donnie]

I like that, great angle, like the black and white and the fact the clock is in there adds something to the image I feel

 

[Adow2]

Cheers Mandy and Donnie! Found out it's going to be published in the Liverpool Echo (a local newspaper) tomorrow! Well chuffed!

I LOVE 32!!

 

[Sparkles33]

Loving the portraits. You've captured a lot of feeling in them.

 

[Pinkbikerbabe]

I am not liking day 33 with the massively blown area in the middle of the image.

Took this low POV shot of Llandudno Promenade from the beach. The tide was right in so I had to move quick to avoid getting wet feet!

Took this shot the daffodils arranged in a vase. I used a small aperture and off camera flash to create the isolating background.

Captured the Polar Prince, a survey Ship, docked at the Liverpool Cruise Terminal tonight. I loved the colourful lights reflected in the dark waters of the Mersey.

[Pinkbikerbabe]

Some good images I am not so sure about the daffodils seems a big bright and some of the details in the flower looks lost.

No37 of 365.

Thought I'd try a little abstract photography. Mainly because I'm working from home today and won't get the chance to pop out and take some outdoor shots. Secondly I was wanting to test and try my new yongnuo 560ii flash in slave mode with my Fujifilm XF1!

[Pinkbikerbabe]

That's pretty funky I like it.

 

[Sparkles33]

#34 is beautiful. Surreal, like it's taking you away from the hustle and bustle of the busy seaside town background.
The straws are really effective too.

 

[Donnie]

34 is a cracker, really nicely shot!

Liking the straws too, have tried this once and intend to try them again at some point if Ive not lost them.

 

[Adow2]

#38 of 365

Took this close up of my Mamiya Rank rangefinder 40mm lens. It's a cracking camera and still fully works. The selenium cell light meter is spot on!

[Donnie]

I like this, and then I dont and then i like it again lol.

I think the white space on the left puts me off, but overall I think it's a great shot, i love the dof but the warm colours in the lens and coming out is great.

 

[Pinkbikerbabe]

I think day 38 is a bit marmite for me sadly, can't pin point why tho.

No.39 of 365

Just didn't have time today to take anything. Was getting worried that I wouldn't get anything done today! Ended up rushing this one!

What does everyone else think about getting the photo done every day. Has anyone missed a day and used a previously taken shot?

A shot of My son's favourite toy! Buzz Lightyear. Taken in a dark room with an on camera pop-up flash.

View attachment 5540

 

[Donnie]

I like the high contrast mac shot, great angle too. Not sure about Buzz, the colours look odd to me.

As for getting a shot a day on the day, I find thats its not always doable, especially if im on a 12 hour shift, so I wont put myself under pressure and sometimes need a catchup.

I think last year i was too strict on myself and thats why i didnt finish.

 

[Adow2]

Yeah think it's a fine balance of trying when possible to take a photo a day, but not putting the pressure on to impact on actually making it to the end of the year. I think as the year goes on I might collect a little set of library images to ease the pressure! ;-) .......but don't tell anyone! ;-)

No41 of 365.

Took this shot of a classic red telephone box. This telephone is located at the side of Liverpool Town Hall which is the building in the shot.

[Pinkbikerbabe]

I really love the phone box image great stuff. Sometimes if I gave got things to do or can't get in the right frame of my mind for processing my images I sometime will do a catch up of about 3 or 4 days to give me time to do some other things. I am still living taking a picture every day as it gives me something to do and think about.

 

[Donnie]

I think thats a great shot, love the processing and the symettry is great too!
