Daily Mr and Mrs West's Year of Change 366 for 2012 (366/366) -DONE!

thats pretty good, but yep flickr looses all sorts of stuff, its really odd
 
Sorry to hear you've had a crappy day...it's not good, I'm having a crappy week so if nothing else we have crap together, the good thing I've found is this challenge has been a great distraction for me...to your photo's the one with the cat is so funny :thumbs:

Going back to ghosts into the machine I've just seen what you've done on a second viewing on it and all I can say is :clap: :clap:

Yesterday's was taken with my phone while waiting for Mrs West to come to my rescue with a petrol can:

The only processing work done on it was to remove a lamppost that spoiled the lines.

Today's was an experiment with some paint: I took a headshot of a colleague and made a random Rorshach blot and had to find a way to combine the two.

I also used one of the headshots to try and get a handle on the flame portraits process as shown by Sam Slade n his thread so that I can use it next week.

ONLY 300 DAYS TO GO!

Did a shoot today to procure the elements for a shot next week, and used the surplus shots to produce these two doodles.

Firstly, I got to try out the idea of the flame portrait. I'm more or less happy with the result, but learned a lot about the process - and know how I'll use it in future as part of other shots, rather than as a shot in an of itself.

The other was a simple shot of playing the blues:

But the shot that's actually going in as today's 366 is remarkably simple:

Agreed - actually I like then all for different reasons, fretful is the best though I think
 
A simple precursor to some later shots:

Sunday's was one of those things where I found myself looking something and thinking, "You know, that looks awfully like..."

And then today's was the one that the shots of the guy with the guitar were for:

Rock God from the previous day was well done :)
 
some stunning photos so far, very impessive stuff, look forward to seeing the rest of your challenge
 
"Sir... I think theres a AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH in your teacup" ;)

And always remember, you don;t need to be the fastest runner... just not the slowest!
 
I think I agree, Matt.

It's been a vile week that I'll be glad to see the back of. Should finish off positively tomorrow (photos will show how).

Yesterday's:

Today's I'm having trouble with. It's either


Cone by DrHWest, on Flickr

or


Shoe by DrHWest, on Flickr

They both ask more or less the same question, but I think the second one is a slightly better question.
 
I said this had been a difficult week; in some way that might explain why today's 366 entry is not a shot: it's a set.

"On the 14th of March 2012, Joe Roberts-Anderson died of complications following a kidney transplant. He was 17.

Students from his old secondary school utilised an event they were already planning for their Festival coursework to find a way for his friends and family to say goodbye.

On Sunday 18th March, 2012, nearly six hundred people came together on Scarborough Sea Front to release balloons with thoughts and memories of Joe attached. Many chose to use blue balloons as that was Joe's favourite colour."

If I had to pick a single shot it's probalby be this one:


...they fly so high... by DrHWest, on Flickr
 
That's very touching and a suitably simple image to boot
 
You're stuff seems to be getting darker... I worry for Thor :)
 
I've seen a few of these images in dedicated threads and on the whole thought they're of a very high standard :thumbs: this is however my first time seeing the balloon release and I've got to say it's simple but amazingly effective :thumbs: for somebody that was taken far too soon :shake:

Bit behind, so massive dump of piccies here.

Yesterday was not a fun night:


The Machine That Goes "PING!" by DrHWest, on Flickr

Meaning that I was tired today and left the house without my camera - meaning I nearly missed this:


Morning All by DrHWest, on Flickr

I have to say, the more I use it, the more impressed I am with the IQ of the iPhone camera.
 
Very nice shots - very much like the first two, I think the post processing makes it.
 
I like the cyberman - now if only you had a load more, a mini stage and some little deck chairs :)

I love the idea of payday :thumbs: but I'm really not sold on the focus and also the colours all look a little green :thinking:

Aye - I tinted it in PP, thinking about the colour green as being iconic when it comes to discussing money. Plus, I simply didn't like the combo of the brown of the tenner, the green of the fiver and the gold and silver of the coinage and wanted to unify it.

Do you prefer the B&W one? It was a close run thing for me;

Thats a random bunch!!

Also is that Thor's chariot I see in there?
