Well I've succumbed and decided to try a 365 for myself. I don't know where to start to be honest but I suppose it will be mainly to celebrate my life so far. 4 years ago this week I started a brand new life for myself - a long story which I am not going to go into here but suffice to say I have never been happier :D . So I think the main theme will be 'Happiness' and what makes me happy and that will include everything - Music, Dancing, Friends, Family, My long walks with my best friend (my camera) and just everyday things that catch my eye :)
The album will start 12/12/12 - can't think of a better date to be honest :)
This will be a massive learning curve for me so please bear with me if some of my photos are a bit 'off' Within a year I intend to improve a lot :)

Welcome to the madhouse carol we're a close knit bunch in the 365 corner of this forum :) if your looking for somewhere to host photos may I suggest Flickr as a good starting point :thumbs:

Will keep a watch on your thread Carol..... be good to see the improvements you make....it may inspire me to start one myself(maybe at some point)....
 
Excellent can't wait to see your pics :thumbs:
 
Thanks Lee and T :) First one will be on tonight - have ideas already :)
 

Right this isnt one of the photos for the 365 but it is test run to see if I have the right code :) Thanks Vince for the advice :)

YAYYYY!! I got it now :)
 



Okay I'm either way too eager OR I just don't know what date it is lol For some reason I have been trying all day to capture just the right photo for the day..... put it onto Flickr and looked at the info and Yes, you've guessed it.... I realised that I was a day early! Oh well better than late I suppose

So it looks like it is going to be a 366 shot challenge lol

Sorry didnt explain very well did I :/
My partner is a DJ and this is part of our home studio - yes we have a studio in our house much to my joy lol
 
I know its a bit boring for a first shot but I was getting desperate and (thought) I was running out of time
 
I like that..... maybe a bit too tight a crop though....
 
hmmm I agree Lee ..... Was trying to miss out all the stuff that is surrounding it. Should have put the deck lights on just for a bit more colour - maybe another time :) Thanks for the comment :)
 
Carol well you have started something now and you already come across some of the Crazy Gang !

Love the concept of Tools of the Trade , a bit to tight for me but your Challenge will surely blossom.

Yes I seem to be looking at EVERYTHING now lol Was doing it before but looking even more! Yes the Crazy Gang have made me welcome and I think I've thrown them a bit with the acceptance of the 'dark room with led lights and steel wool' lol

I am now realising what 'cropped' means and see what you mean as well - it is quite tight there - should have given it a bit more around the edge I think .... Am I right there?

Have a few to choose from for today so have to decide pretty quickly as I am out to work in an hour lol

Thanks for the comment :)
 
Something you could try with the headphones and deck is getting in at a low angle focus more on the phones with the deck blurring with the dof

hmmm good idea :) Will try that one - I love getting photos of the various decks at the venues we go to and usually get in low -(some of those decks are lovely to look at ) - so will try it with these Thanks :)

And remember....sometimes detail on the deck can be just as interesting.... And still give you an idea of the overall object...
 


Here's todays image = taken this morning when the sun was deciding whether to show up for work or not - suffice to say he had the day off

Edited slightly

Thanks Lee :D Had a few shots but only the one with the solitary bird in it so decided that was the best one :)

Agreed and will try a few closeups :)
 
Thank You :D Have taken quite a few photos today but this one is one of my favourites :) Without the bird it would have been just clouds and a shiny circle lol

i would agree with your assessment. i'm finding myself looking round the image for the focus point. like the composition though.. :thumbs:

though there's blur on the left hand side... do you have software you could clone it out with?
 
I have a programme or three so may try it later ....... will then repost it
I just couldnt find the 'right' image to post for some reason today - though tomorrow I have something in mind that I saw last week when I was in town so will be taking care with that one :)
 





Day 3 edited to get rid of the blur as well as getting rid of the branch as well - not sure which looks best
