JD's 365.

Day 124.

Not really much at all has happened today, isn't that what bank holidays are for? I initially intended to go and photograph the Belfast marathon today, but the bed was warm so I slept in. I'm only after my dinner and going to get stuck into a lot of beer. I was just playing with the extension tubes again. Can you guess what it is??
 
Day 125.

Horrible day for taking pictures, it was so windy here that I was nearly blew away taking this picture!! Quite a busy day, didn't really feel myself at all, just felt tired and lacking motivation. The words of a song by Green Day called LongView describe it perfectly.
 
Day 126.

Busy, busy busy. Went to Strabane for 830 this morning, left the house at 630. Then went to Cookstown then to Buncrana and finally finished the day in Ballymoney. This was taken in Buncrana. Yet again I'm amazed at photoshop. I've cloned loads of stuff out of this picture. If you are careful you can never tell!!!
 
Another excellent landscape JD, only thing I would have done is cloned out the foot prints, find them just a tad distracting.
 
Day 127. Oh Look!! A Camera!!!

Nice wee day, shame about the weather. I stopped on the way home to get a few shots but the heavens opened, so unfortunately you are stuck with my ugly mug today. Hopefully will be heading to a gig tonight, I've been to the same place a few times and am undecided whether I take the camera or not. I might fire the 50mm on the d40 and see what happens.
 
Day 128. Lough Fea, Cookstown. A Non-HDR. (couldn't be bothered!)

Quite a nice day for a change! I avoided a late call today so was able to do my usual extreme scenic drive home. Looking forward to tomorrows Flickr meet, so expect some random shot of someone either with a camera or pulling a funny face!!
 
I really like day 126, great composition and the sky is super :)
 
yeah it's good to take a normal shot now and again :-)

rocks, grass and water look lush in that shot
 
Day 129. Strutting it.

Spent a good day around Belfast for the Flickr meetup. We ended up going to the Waterfront Hall for a tour around the non-public bits of the building. Also ended up going to a derelict animal testing laboratory in Belfast as well, the urbex itch had to be scratched!! I quite like this shot, it's a lot better B&W, was considering adding a bit of noise, but I kind of like it this way. 10mm is now my street lens!!
 
Great angle, is there a bag or something by the wheelie bin on the left just creeping into frame?

Looking forward to the urbex lab shots, will check your flickr account later ;)
BTW: still found no urbex sites near me :(
 
Nearest towns to me are Newbury, Andover, Winchester, Salisbury, Southampton, Basingstoke, that area, thanks JD :)
 
Day 130.

Just really a filler shot today, busting hangover, got a bit carried away when I got home from the Flickr meet. Had a few too many!! Went to my mums for dinner and took Sasha, the black one is called Scooby. They seem to have a hate/hate relationship and always fight over all the toys.

Oh, and here starts my 50mm week. One week, one lens.
 
Looking forward to your nifty fifty week ;) I may try it one day, but the way my mind works regarding inspiration it would be torture to limit myself to a lens for a week :nuts:
 
Day 131. 50mm Week/Day 2.

Far too nice a day to be working, this is a revisit of a location I shot right at the start of my 365. Only day 2 and I miss my 1020 already. We have a really big meeting tomorrow with our new boss. A lot of reshuffling had gone on higher up in the company, 2 managers have left and our new boss is GERMAN!!! So tomorrow could be the "give me your van keys" day. :( :( :(
 
Fingers crossed for tomorrow ;)

Lovely day here today also, looks great there too (no trademark JD dark clouds). Is that horizon a little bit wonky :thinking:
 
Hope everything ok tomorrow, fingers crossed.

I agree with you about the weather, I was stuck indoors today for the 1st time in 4 weeks :(
