3 weeks in and i’m still going with my 365. It’s a real challenge to get a photograph i’m happy with each day but it definitely feels like i’m getting reacquainted with my camera, especially my macro lens which hadn’t previously been used in a good few months as it’s not one I use in the Studio really.
You can follow my 365 Project progress with the weekly posts on here or daily posts over at the 365 Project website.
Here’s Week 3 of 52, to see previous weeks please click here
15/365 – ‘Accordion’
This is very much a snapshot of the day, as my wife and I ventured out into town with friends and ended up at our local pub which has a fantastic range of interesting objects including old cameras, typwriters and this beautiful old accordion.
16/365 – ‘Angles’
Despite sitting in a similar spot each night to watch TV I never really took in the way that the light from our lamp hits the beams above giving it a distorted perspective. At the right angle it made this photograph that aims to make you question if the wall is coming out or going in (attempting to emulate some of M.C Escher’s work).
17/365 – ‘Gwenda’
My wife often makes art dolls (as many of you will have seen in my Puppet Portraits category on this blog) and sometimes we take them to a location or to the studio to be photographed before they get put up on her etsy store. This was very much a studio shoot type of day (cold, wet, miserable outside) and so Gwenda joined us to have her picture taken and I decided to snap this macro of part of her face for something a little different (full Gwenda blog post coming soon!).
18/365 – ‘Warp’
Sometimes you need to look at something you’ve seen a thousand times from different angles to see it in a new light and so when I was closing the curtains I decided to try and find a new angle for a photograph of them. I decided on a dark and moody kind of feel due to the colours in the fabric, with just the light catching the gold detail on the curtains.
19/365 – ‘Old Man Winter’
A chilly -2°C thick mist and frost on the hill gave me just enough time to take this shot heading into work before I had to retire to the warmth of my car.
20/365 – ‘Chainmaille’
You may have noticed i’ve got kinda of ‘a thing’ going on with a narrow band of focus with my macro lens at the moment (a lot to do with not having used it in a while). A simple hessian bag close up, in black and white, to me resembled the intricacy of chainmaille.
21/365 – ‘Charmed’
Closing off this week is ‘Charmed’, primarily photographed because my wife had her charm bracelet converted into a necklace this week (easier to wear with the weight of the charms) and so I thought it would make a nice macro shot, putting the cuckoo clock in focus with the bike, hedgehog and more set out of focus behind.
