So day 2..... It was rather more relaxed today.... i wonder if that is because i knew in my head i wasn't doing a SP?..... Although i guess if i want to become more relaxed at them and improve i had best not leave it too long....... Anyway my shot today....
I love flowers... who doesn't!... One of my favourites are these the Gerbera Daisy, they are so pretty and i love shooting them at all different angles, including the back, backs of things often get missed but to me the detail is still there, shine a light on it and see!
But i have to buy my own.. how may of you girls have to do the same?... and i don't even mean just us singles here.. those with Bf's and hubbys.. do they surprise you sometimes wih flowers? or is it the typical birthday/valentine and thats it?!.....
Maybe this next sentence should be directed to the men........ next time you are out stop and get your gf or wife some flowers!... don't just stick to the 'IN the dog house' bunch... surprise her... ...... most of all it will make her smile!
Also if you want me to quit rambling say so .....
So here we have day 2... comments welcome of course:

Very nice Trace, use of selective colour works well & the petals have a velvety feel. Have to say if hubby gets me flowers he tries to get something I'd like to photograph
Aww well see that's lovely and thoughtful..
Thank you!
Awww Thanks Kev, not proper sc the top half of the background was fairly dark anyway, so it was just the wooden floor, zero'ing the orange/yellow hues fixed that and didn't effect the flower colour
And yes Mr C THESE are the cauliflowers lol
See what i mean! typica lol!.... Thank you, i think some photos sc works well if its done right, i've seen some gorgeous ones where the colour does pop, but i have also seen some awful ones where its either not neat or to many things have been picked for it, instead of the one focal point

Here you go... 💐.... Now stop moaning
Anyway... Another corker!... You know you only have another 363 days to keep this standard up and I have a serious question (there's a refreshing change!)... What lens are you using?

Arghhhhh i know and it's damn scary, i was fine this morning becausei roughly had an idea of this one but tommorrow i'm not sure yet, i've created a 365 fb page and people can give me themes so may pick something.....
Oh and its kit lens 17-135mm
Thats's because you don't do it often enough!
...... I'm glad i'm giving you inspiration, this time of year can be total pants for phtography, so it's coming up with stuff indoors.. to be honest indoor stuff is usually angles and composition..I'd have maybe been tempted to angle it a little but the focus and DoF are really nice the wood floor? works really well and I think that the use of colour popping really makes it come to life
Matt
That's actually not a bad idea, i had taken loads at different angles when it was in a vase but on the floor i left it like this..... hmmmmm you got me curious now....

Thank you Vince! It's been awhile since I've done a decent flower shot! I think this 365 is exactly what I needed to get me back doing what I love
It sounds like someone is getting their mojo back
Lovely image for day 2 Trace, the muted colours and lighting set the subject off a treat. Iain

I haven't done a 365 before so am in no position to give advice but an idea sprung to mind. Can you find a go to subject? A default subject if you like. Mine for my 52 were pebbles. Do you have a collection of anything? Something that when inspiration is lacking you can grab a shot of to keep you up to date.
I think even the best photographers have days where inspiration is lacking, I doubt the best nail it every single time. If you could find a default subject, that would keep things ticking over until your next cracking image. Just a thought
