Accomodation by ohmytao, on Flickr

Working as a temporary chef I spend alot of time living in hotels, so it's a kettle and cup which makes me feel at home.

Silent-Sam · 7 Nov 2011

Well when I'm not in a hotel I'm at home, this is a new bowl of porridge, at the start of a new day.

Hard

Hard by ohmytao, on Flickr

Something I find hard work is doing the laundry.

Silent-Sam · 7 Nov 2011

Week 6

Clutter

Clutter by ohmytao, on Flickr

Traveling around alot for work means often living out of a suitcase, I'm always surrounded by clutter.

Silent-Sam · 7 Nov 2011

Week 7

Delicate

Delicate by ohmytao, on Flickr

Rosary Vine, looks delicate even though it's hard as nails.

Silent-Sam · 7 Nov 2011

Week 8

Chaos

Chaos by ohmytao, on Flickr

Bit chaotic, playing with long exposure. You never quite know what yout going to get.

Silent-Sam · 7 Nov 2011

Week 9

Finish

Finish by ohmytao, on Flickr

Well it didn't take long to finish the box of doughnuts.

^Joe · 7 Nov 2011

This is a superb start, I really like your take on all of the themes.

SamuelSlade007 · 9 Nov 2011

Sam..that is a brilliant start, at this rate you'll be up to date with a month... just in time..well done

i especially like Delicate for its simple and DOF and Chaos because i didn't get out there to even attempt shots of fireworks..

Silent-Sam · 10 Nov 2011

Thanks Joe and thanks Kev.

I was pleased with the chaos shot aswell, although I'm aware it was all luck not skill.

I like the delicate shot too and have some other photos for the re-shoot later.

Silent-Sam · 13 Nov 2011

Week 10

Trio.

Trio by ohmytao, on Flickr

I love my Buddhas. Trio of statues and a trio of lights. Only light source is the candles shown, hand held.

TinaC · 13 Nov 2011

Sam these are really good.

You have great takes on the themes and the pictures really work in their own right

I look forward to seeing more :clap:

drodd · 13 Nov 2011

Hiya Sam,

Just noticed your project .... welcome to the madhouse and good luck with your challenge.

You have made a great start at catching up and the photos are all on theme.

Well done

Cheers

Dawn

Silent-Sam · 13 Nov 2011

Thanks Dawn and Tina

Week 11

Knowledge

Knowledge. by ohmytao, on Flickr

Found this on really hard, so took this picture tonight. Based on instinctive knowledge that animals (in this case my spiddy) are born with.
Not a great subject choice for a 50mm 1.4, needs a macro really, but I'm running out of time.

Silent-Sam · 13 Nov 2011

And Week 11 was reshoot week so here's a couple of shots I rather like.

Delicate (reshoot)

Delicate (reshoot) by ohmytao, on Flickr

One from my delicate shots (so not strictly a reshoot). Bit of a tight crop as this was just the shadows on the wall in natural light from window and room light on.

Silent-Sam · 13 Nov 2011

Another reshoot from week 11

Accomodation (reshoot)

Accomodation by ohmytao, on Flickr

Went for a walk before work in Old Windsor, very misty morning and the sun was in front of me. Saw this heron on a canal boat.

Silent-Sam · 14 Nov 2011

Week 12

Moderation

Moderation. by ohmytao, on Flickr

The idea was, everything in moderation, so put together a little still life. Laptop, internet, facebook, beer, wine, phone, sweets, exercise, ipod, books, films, my bed, everythings fine in moderation.

Silent-Sam · 14 Nov 2011

Week 13

Empty

Empty. by ohmytao, on Flickr

I enjoyed doing this one. Picture of me emptying a bottle of wine. As usual, ipod in use.

Silent-Sam · 14 Nov 2011

Week 14

Object

Object. by ohmytao, on Flickr

One of my favourite objects (in my mouth for some reason). Bokeh eye catchlights

Silent-Sam · 14 Nov 2011

Week 15

Wrong

Wrong. by ohmytao, on Flickr

Saw this on the same walk I saw the Heron. I can't decide what's more wrong, the dumping of litter in the river or drinking Carbon White cider.

Silent-Sam · 14 Nov 2011

Week 16

Paradox

Paradox. by ohmytao, on Flickr

By far the hardest subject. I went for the chicken and egg idea, and snapped this to get it done and out of the way. As usual if I'm not too keen on a picture I turn it B&W and chuck a load of grain at it.

Silent-Sam · 14 Nov 2011

Week 16 (reshoot)

Object

Object (reshoot) by ohmytao, on Flickr

Lots of objects here, but I like the way focus is on the tip of the scissors.

Silent-Sam · 18 Nov 2011

Week 17.

Tropical.

Tropical. by ohmytao, on Flickr

Photo of a pineapple, definatly a tropical fruit, threw a load of processing at it aswell.

Silent-Sam · 18 Nov 2011

Week 18.

Power.

Power. by ohmytao, on Flickr

A shot of one of my dumbells, takes alot of power to lift it and it has power written on it, double subject. Also I really like the blue in the background and the relfections on the dumbell.

LauraJ23 · 18 Nov 2011

Hi there Sam, only just seen your thread, a big well done for what you have achieved so far, some great pics. Your paradox pic took me back, that was a really hard one to do. I am subscribed to your thread so won't miss it.

Silent-Sam · 18 Nov 2011

Week 19.

Divided.

Divided. by ohmytao, on Flickr

Bit of a weird shot this one. I was watching tv and noticed my reflection in the mirror and switched off laptop, I held my camera in my right hand out of sight of the mirror, it was a bit tricky to focus and compose it as I liked, so this was my favourite shot.

Silent-Sam · 18 Nov 2011

Week 20.

Promise.

Promise. by ohmytao, on Flickr

The idea for this came whilst playing around in the kitchen with the camera after have a bit of a drink.
The subject is promise, and the shot shows someone promising to do the washing up if they have dinner cooked for them.

Silent-Sam · 18 Nov 2011

Week 21.

Twisted.

Twisted. by ohmytao, on Flickr

A shot of the twisting car park exit road.

Silent-Sam · 18 Nov 2011

Week 22.

Hidden.

Hidden. by ohmytao, on Flickr

Took this photo at night in the grounds of the hotel I was working in. The hidden aspect is the view that can only be seen with a shallow DOF on a camera.

Silent-Sam · 18 Nov 2011

Thanks Michael, I'm already looking forward to next years 52.

SamuelSlade007 · 18 Nov 2011
