30/365 - Opposites. I was out and about at Barton-on-Sea at lunchtime and spotted these keyhole covers on a couple of the beach huts - thought they made an interesting pair of shots.

31/365 - Humble Beginnings. This shot actually took me two hours messing about with lighting in my home made lightbox to get it how I wanted it. The camera was picked up in a local charity shop, fully working like new for £2! :)

:agree: I'm sure I should check them more than once every 6 months though :lol:

Nice shot today :)
 
I've never shot film,
really starting to think I'm missing out.
 
You're certainly coming up with a diverse range of subjects and ideas mate!

Don't think there has been a duff one yet. Keep going:clap::clap:

The camera/film still life is brilliant - you have got the lighting/composition spot on.

I go down and have a look every now and again - usually you have to ask as they don't display them. I went in to one shop and was shown a box with about 30 or so cameras in! :lol:

Yeah you should try it - it's different. You find you take more time over the shot when using film coz every shot is costing you money! Bet you can't take a shot and NOT look at the back of the camera! :lol:

Yes I do use it from time to time. I have a couple of old film cameras. This one I keep in the glove box in the car. :)

32/365 - I was stuck for something to shoot today so I went out for a drive on the way to see a friend and came across these colourful windows. This is some sort of old navy building near the Explosion! museum in Gosport. I really like the colour combinations :D

33/365 - Off into the snow I go....well not quite actually. I didn't go to work today as I have a 35 mile drive through the New Forest. I got about a third of the way and turned back - there were broken cars everywhere! :|

I like the shot from day 32 - would look nice printed A3 and framed.

The footprint shot is clever too - nice and 'crisp'

:thumbs:

Thanks Sean...I guess I am lucky, but we always take the things we have so much for granted don't we?

Yeah, I will miss it here if I ever get re-located
 
Great shot Dave. Its funny it is a very common sight for me and yet I have never thought of it as an interesting view. I suppose it what you get used to. I am going to have to open my eyes and start shooting more, just because I see it most days doesn't mean of isn't interesting. I thank you for firing up my enthusiasum again. I look toward to following your 365 from now on.

Thanks Dave, that's a really nice thing to say. We'll have to arrange to meet up for a cuppa one lunchtime :)
 
Only just catching up with this Dave, and still really enjoying following your 365.:)

I did wonder how you took your snow "footprint" shot, and it was good to hear how you did it - the Gorillapod sounds ideal!:D

Personally, I think your shot of the Olympus camera and the 35mm film is just awesome! I understand how long it can take to get this kind of shot "just" how you want it, and you've produced a very professional result there imo. It works really well on the black background, and the reflection is superb!:clap: Was there much photoshop work involved, or did you achieve the look you wanted mostly in camera?

Looking forward to seeing more, keep it up! :thumbs:

Thanks for the kind comment :thumbs:

I got it mostly how I wanted it in camera, but did have to adjust levels a bit and use the dodge and burn tools in Photoshop - not very well I might add as I can see the bits I missed on the laptop (note to self - get monitor on PC calibrated !).

35/365 - Well, my first sort of paid job tonight. A friend of mine runs a beauty business from home and wanted some promotional shots for her website. Payment? A freeby massage! :D

This is called "threading" - the ancient art of removing facial hair with cotton. Hmmm....wonder if it works on blokes :thinking: - would save me having to shave for a few days! :lol:

(Posted in a rush - still need to PP this one)
