Fabs' 365 for 2009.....Fin

[Marc]

Probably not as bad Fabs, but there is a real menacing look to this picture.

Quite scary!!

Nah. Look at my user title, I'm a pussy cat!

That has some impact!
There are some great SPs here Fabs, I might try one myself someday

Cheers, looking forward to seeing yours.

Day 77

Practical Night

Practical night at Camera Club tonight. Haven't been through any of the shots yet
(except this one) but don't think I got anything decent. It was a good laugh though.​

 

[hepburn]

looks a little blown out on the left side to me!

It's bad luck to put umbrellas up indoors you know.....

Funny enough, that one was mentioned this evening.

Day 78

Meh! :shrug:

I have to be honest, I just could not motivate myself to come up with any
ideas today. Just stood in front of the camera and clicked the shutter. Sorry. ​

 

[JDholic]

At least you put a drop shadow on the picture, all hope isn't lost!

Day 79

So where does this go?

Was reading a thread on here today where someone posted about the state of
their sensor so I though I would check mine. Big mistake! Anyway, had a
go with the rocket blower and it was good as new.

And yes, I know it's in colour. For some reason this one just looked better that way. :shrug:

​

 

[JDholic]

My sensor doesn't get that dirty, it seems to be the mirror that gets all of it. So when I look through the viewfinder I see bits of dirt that don't appear on the photo. Quite annoying actually!! Must sort it out now! Cheers Fabs!!

Day 80

Not so close!

Thought I'd step further back from the camera today. Had a play with the lights
to try and avoid shadows if I was leaning against the wall. I think I've achieved
it although the light may be a bit strong from my right hand side.​

 

[JDholic]

I don't think it is too strong Fabs, another gangster style pose, I'm really going to have to do one now... IRELAND!! IRELAND!!!

 

[Marc]

Thanks JD. A close one then, well done the greens.

 

[liss]

day 79 you look a healthy with a bit of colour lol , thats what grans always say anyway

 

[Marc]

Thanks Liss. Actually, I look mental!!

Day 81

Is there something on my shoulder?

"Bernie" is a Beanie Baby that Sue gave me many years ago and he lives in my
car. I suddenly came across him today in a draw in my office. I'd totally
forgotten that I had taken him out of the car when it went for it's service in December!​

 

[cosmix3]

Your not supposed to lock animals in draws Marc :nono: :nono:

You are producing some nice shots mate.

Thanks Stu. As it happens, one of our cats has spent the last 3 hours asleep in a clothes drawer under our bed so it's not exactly unprecedented in our house!

 

[kitten]

awww last shot is really sweet

(though from seeing your avatar first, I thought it was a real poopy!)

 

[JDholic]

So basically Fabs, you were ashamed of him and hid him out of site from the mechanics so they wouldn't think you were a big girl!! And this is your way of making up.

Thanks Ruth. He actually has seen a fair bit of Europe, we always hire a car when we go on holiday and he always takes up his position in that.

 

[BeHappy]

When I saw your avatar I thought youd taken leave of your senses and got yourself a puppy....

very cute nonetheless.....fluffy dice next eh?

 

[davekiddle]

Just playing catchup today - superb shots to the usual high standards

Day 82

Specs!

I don't mind wearing glasses, I don't mind being seen wearing glasses, I'm
certainly not vain. So why do I hate being photographed wearing glasses?
This is why almost all of my Self Portraits are done without them. :shrug:

Oh well, we are a funny species. OK, it's just me then. ​

 

[Toothie]

There seems to be a thing about photography and glasses. When i had a studio shoot, as the subject the photographer asked me to take them off and the portait of my mum i did this week got a coment about her glasses (admititly cos they change with the light they looked like shades). However, i have worn glasses since my teenage years and they are part of me i dont go anywhere with out them, so why wouldnt i have my photo taken with them on? I have reached the point where i think i look strange with out them.

I actually didn't start wearing glasses other than for reading until I was 40 so that could explain it somewhat.

 

[JDholic]

Tomorrows shot with them on please.

I wear contact lens constantly and only wear glasses at night after work. I hate them!!

If I must.

I cannot stand anything touching my eyes, not even drops so contact lenses are out for me I'm afraid.

 

[maddog.mark]

Just caught up Marc, good to see the standard hasn't slipped. Some very good portraits, keep up the good work!

[JDholic]

Gave me a good chuckle Marc, they don't look that bad on!! I like the triptych. (if that's how you spell it)

 

[davekiddle]

Brilliant! Possibly the best shot yet! :1st: Great expressions - made me smile!
