Daily T's 365 challenge..... Life begins at 40......

have to concentrate on writing backwards but had plenty of time if I kept the light on as the camera picked it up .... only turned off when I turned the light off .... Great try and great shots :D

You know you could just flip the image in post processing right? Or did I just fall into your cunning trap?

Love your last few posts, the ducks and geese in full colour is great but I really love that foggy lane!

OMG!... why didn't i think of that.....:bang::bonk::bang::bonk::bang::bonk:

Thank you..... i'm going to use that foggy lane a few times through the 365... i just wish the tree at the bottom wasn't there!

Catching up T and some cracking shots over the past couple of days :).

The reservoir pics are brilliant, for me I'm preferring the colour version.

The foggy tree lined lane, again a gorgeous pic, and wouldn't mind seeing a mono version of that.

Loving your light drawing shots too. This is somethin I'd like to have a go at too, but hopeless at writing backwards hehehe.

Thanks Simon... going to try the mono on it over weekend... Timmy has just said about flipping image in PP... doh i can't believe i didn't think about that lol

Haha well it's certainly not as easy as i thought.. i kept running out of time... but i couldn't just write T because thats boring lol

Just what I was going to say :lol:

Must have a go at this myself sometime
 
Light Graffiti, that is fun! Be warned its quite addictive! One tip, use a slightly longer exposure, so you can write slower or... Make a point out of your torch to avoid light spillage (using cardboard or similar made into a cone on the end of it) and then write the normal way onto a wall or some other background ;)

Seriously? On a wall.... Now that makes it sound easier!... I really enjoyed this night so can see the addiction! :-)
Thanks for tip Ferj!!
 
Evening my lil Honey monsters... here we are day 12 ... and damn its soooo cold......:(

The other day when i was out and about i see these balancing blocks and thought they would make a pretty cool shot... but... on the way back i came accross the foggy double tree line and obviously that soon became my POTD....

So today in the freezing cold Rat and myself took off to go re-shoot as i wasn't sure what else to do....... blank mind and all that lol

Luckily it was deserted.. (understandable considering the weather).. crouched down between the chains anyone would have thought 'wtf is she doing?'!!..:cuckoo::cuckoo:

So here it is... day 12

I really like that T. I'm not long back from Krakow and, I'm not sure why, but it reminds me quite a lot of Auschwitz. Quite a harrowing feel to it, somehow!
 
I really like todays photo, T and it really suits the mono. I like how each set of links (chains, whatever) is framed by the last :)
 
As said, nice mono and depth of field, nice work T.

Hi Trace :wave:
I've not had much time to comment on your thread this past week but have been looking in. Some great stuff in here Missus :thumbs:
You are most definitely up and running with mojo back with a vengeance as far as I can see.
I particularly like the umbrella shot, great vibrant colours.
Light grafitti, not something I've tried, done a few light drawings but letters look a bit more troublesome writing backwards and all :lol:

You certainly have a photographers eye Trace, todays image case in point. Well seen, composed and shot. :thumbs:

Keep up the great work Trace, I will try and look in through the week but short of time to comment. Iain
 
Great shot and the processing really works. I like the foreground one coming right in from the bottom of the frame and being OOF.
 
Excellent shot yesterday, which really suits a mono conversion.

I the WTF is he doing looks off people of a regular basis, I've got to the point that I don't care anymore :D and just get down and do it :D I think that this works well :clap:

Sorry Matt..... Read it out of context I'm sure....unhealthy amount of BBC2 series... Bottom
 
That's a great shot, love the front chains thrown out of focus. Excellent idea :)
 
Wonderful shot, love the chain inside chain :)
 
Omg it's me again.... a rather silly fun shot... simply because i had decided to do another portrait today but just couldn't get it right.. I'd like to blame the light the cam the everything and anything but i can't .... it was me!! every shot i took ( which believe me was lots)... i didn't like....I feel quite robotic in front of the camera so each time i tried to relax i would go back and almost shout at myself saying 'why look like that?.. or pull that face?...:lol::lol: or i would be too close or too far.....

Also I thought it would be good to show as well that i do infact wear glasses but because they can be a nightmare with reflection i usually leave them off.. but this didn't seem to bad..

Actually the amount of shots i have where i am almost disappearing is quite comical........ so tonights POTD is..........

ME TELLING MYSELF TO Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh...:D:D
