Love the jelly babies shot!
I'm impressed that you're doing another 365 for 2012. I decided that 2 years was enough for me and I'm aiming for a 52 next year
Thanks Ben, this is my first year of a 365 so I thought that I would do it again next year
I can understand your reluctance as I know from this year just the kind of commitment it is, but I'm feeling that I will miss it if I wasn't doing it, plus I have developed so much as a photographer thanks to this 365 also my brother in law a fellow TPer is going to join me in the challenge doing his first Photo a Day challenge Matt

The leading lady would be headless if in this house. Love the red ones & always chew the head off first !!
Would love to see a wide pic of the set up used for pics like this (if possible please)
Thanks Viv, I love the red ones too and I have to confess to having ate a few while setting up
I sort out a set up picture soon as I've done a few with this set up know
308 - a nice still dash, you should have told him to drive straight though
309 - Spot on exposure
310 - Fantastic, getting better and better Matt
My mum was driving
but this particular one was taken on Coventry's Ring Road so a little hard to drive straight The fireworks were not as good as I was expecting if I'm honest :shrug:
I'm pleased you like my lastest light painting efforts

Day - Vine to the Wine
The weather has been rather inclement today, I also been very busy, so this evening I needed to make myself five minutes to get my POTD as you can see I've done a little bit more painting, hopefully make time to get out tomorrow

I'm pleased that you like it I'm getting a little bit obsessed with the old light painting at the moment, mainly down to royally rubbish weather :bang:

thats it Matt... i'm pouring myself a vat of cooking sherry before i turn in... those grapes are good enough to lick off the screen and the wine is something that could only look better in a glass held by a beautiful woman... and as i haven't got a glass nor a beautiful woman to hand..i'll settle for your POTD!!!

Thanks Kev, very much appreciated
I have to be honest, it took a lot of restraint on my part not to open it and enjoy a glass Matt

Love the wine shot. A creative idea even without much time to plan it.
I'll do another 365 in the future, but probably when I live in a different location.
Honestly I was looking round the house for an ideal subject and as soon as I found the grapes I knew what I should do
I understand you feelings in relation to another 365 it's a really daunting challenge, I've found this year blooming hard, so to know it's going to happen all over again next year is scary Matt

Day 313 - Always Changing
The light is always changing, but then so do my plan's these evening I had planned to drive to a local country park and capturing a panoramic sunset view of Warwickshire, but access to the park was not possible as the road to it was closed :bang: so had to find a back up plan
Those of you that are familiar with my 365 will remember I've been to this location before, but this time I wanted to use the same view but process the photo's very differently to my previous visit

Day 314 - The Holey Grail
The one, the only,the original mint with a hole in it, have been to the local shop today there was a display by the till that was full of Polo's and I thought it's years since I had some of those so I brought a packet

Looks perfect to me mate. Composition works. DOF is excellent, and light painted too!?
off topic slightly; I spent an hour at a church last night at about 8pm. The moon was bright, a clear night. I could notget one decent picture.
F8 ish, at least a minute, ISO200.
Changing the settings, I just couldn't get the balance between a blown sky, and a dark church. Even tried paiting it with a torch - no good.
Any further tips?

Nope no light painting here, this was all about flash
were you facing the moon, this is not a good idea unless the church is illuminated, try doing it with the moon behind you, that will light the church up for you and stop the sky from blowing Thanks it worked well
very good Matt

Day 315 - Lest we forget...
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."
315/365 by mwhcvt, on Flickr
Pictured is the Stretton-on-Dunsmore War Memorial.
Inscribed on the Memorial
"Here in the centre of England where Telford's coaching road from London to Holyhead is crossed by the Roman Fosse Way on the 12th of March 1915 His Majesty King George V reviewed his troops of the immortal XXIX Division shortly before they embarked for active service in Gallipoli. In memory of their stay in Warwickshire 1914-15 and their incomparable services since, the avenue on this road was replanted and this monument built by inhabitants of the county"
