"Oblivious"
 
i like this shot but i think it could be so much more than it is. i am not quite sure how or why, just something missing. the lighting is good, it is well composed. maybe you should be holding the ends of the blindfold in your hands, maybe it should be b&w, maybe i am talking out of my backside...
 
Got to say Briony 58 has really taken the project to another level, well done. Would love to see more like this. :)
 
Flippin' heck Briony! What a weekend! Some more absolute stunners!!

58... well, what a fresh idea. Absolute brilliant use of pp, great colour too!

59 is too compositionally spot on! Nice smile too, it definitely adds something to the image!

:beer: heres to another 10 months! :D

Haha no you aren't talking out of your backside. Any comments/criticism are welcomed. My original idea actually was to be holding the ends of the blindfold, which I did get some photos of me doing, but I tried out different poses and in the end I preferred this one. If you look on my Flickr there are some photos in the comments - one of which where I am holding the ends of the blindfold :)

Thanks, glad you like it! As I said before, I didn't really like that shot at all so I'm quite surprised at the feedback!.

I LOVE your day 52 shot. Moody and beautifully processed.

Those 2 months have really flown by!! Its really scary when you're doing something like this because you can see alot clearer how fast time actually goes! Its crazy!! :gag: But quite nice in some ways! Means the summer will soon be here! Wahoooo!! :D

Great shot for yesterday, interesting idea with the arrows running down your face. IMHO love it!! :thumbs:
 
great shots briony, like the cool blue tones in the last one.. nice idea with the arrows on your face too
 
like the colour in 60. todays is fab! you have captured 'verve' 'zest' 'vigour' really well...
 
YOU'RE FLOATING TODAY!! How do you do it briony??

I think I know how you've done this shot... however I shall not spill the beans unless you say how you've done it, then I will say "yes thats what I thought" or "no I'm stupid and very wrong". :D

Fantastic picture though!! :thumbs:



EDIT: I've just read that back and have badly contradicted myself... :lol:
 
I always wanted to try a shot like this but don't think I could get off the ground :D

Decided on the music you want to use for your slideshow at the end of the 365? You are doing a slideshow aren't you? ;)
 
OptimusBri said:
Haha it's really very simple! :lol:
No go on, I want to know how you think I have done it :) THEN i'll tell you!!
Glad you like it :D

Well ... its goes a little like this ...

Firstly you took the photo... the photo was of you standing there in the pose of the final picture...
To then make the move simple ... you 'cut-out' the body and moved it up... and then cloned the lower parts back in...





















Or very simply ... took the photo whilst jumping. :D


:lol:
 
Now you're flying sideways!!

:D


Great image though... interesting choice with the framing etc. Nice lighting around you though as it slowly fades out! :)
 
like this lots! light-hearted, fun shot. nicely processed colours...
 
Wow Briony you have some super shots - really enjoyed looking through your 365 challenge.
 
Amazing....love the last one....wasn't sure about the bed one, the angles seemed wrong to me, but the idea was great!

Lovely Lovely shots!

Roo
 
Thanks Roo :)

"Softly sliding in to dreamland."

Not really sure what my original concept/idea was for this. I don't think I even had one to begin with. I just grabbed my camera and tripod and went outside to take a photo while it was still slightly sunny and light! I quite like how it has turned out though. It took me ages to figure out which way I liked it rotated best, as I kept wanting to turn my head to look at it at another angle. I decided to put it this way as it fits best with the caption I chose, because I look as though I am sliding downwards.

lovely "feel" to this...
 
Oh and I am taking this opportunity to link you all to this photographer I just discovered today.
I am totally in love with his style (even though it varies like mad because he seems to be ridiculously multi-talented!) and have been looking through his images for SO long this evening!

Here you go: Eugenio Recuenco

He has over 1100 images on his website :eek:
I'd love to have the ability to shoot stuff like that one day :)

Just thought I'd share his work with you all!

I bought this A1 size frame today as a prop for my Uni project - thought I'd have a mess round with it for my 365 shots too :)

Like an idiot, I spent £15 on it...I did really need it though and we couldn't find one anywhere at Uni, and this was the cheapest I found it this size! I don't mind though, even though it's really rubbish quality, because I have used it for lots of photos today! It's very useful!
 
some clever processing on the last few briony.. great ideas, really effective!
 
wow Briony you have some really excellent photos so far i particularly like the double exsposure on 63 and 64 is really cool. is it 2 photos on separate layers with a mask layer?
 
Hi Briony,

I'm becoming quite a fan of your work, great ideas and vision. I can only aspire
to create shots like these being a noob to this thing called photography... cant waih for the next one:thumbs:
