I know this is screaming for a rocker soundtrack, but I was listening to this addicting and magnific part of the "Abbey Road" album while processing...
... well it all started with me thinking about doing a mix of this blue jeans shot from my beloved contact Steven and that old Rolling Stones LP cover (Sticky Fingers), but with a photographic touch, because I had that idea of putting the Canon Lens Cap in my pocket (it's where it always ends up while I'm shooting photos)... but suddenly I started to have serious fun, and thought I could make a selfportrait to put in my profile.... and finally ended doing this :-))
Quality is the worst in the whole world, because I made some big&serious mistakes while processing: first I exported the photo (in TIFF format) to PS to try a couple of things... but as you all know I'm seriously challenged for PS so I ended going back to my easy and plain LR. But when in LR I processed the TIFF file instead of the RAW file... and ended with this really poor quality... but I like it. And making the same adjustments to the RAW file was not giving me the same "washed" results... so... here we are... breaking some not written rules ;-)
... any problem with that???? I can break the rules when I want... right???? :-p
End of the story :-P
PS. There are a couple more in comments.... this thing of selfies is kind of fun... Let me know what do you think about this "accidental processing", please, you know how I appreciate your honest opinion :-)
Do you prefer wide or tele? Or are you a middle-of-the-road 24-70-all-day person ?

Over the next few weeks I am hoping to get out and about in search of autumn. This was my first evening walk and I found this lovely little spot no more that 10 minutes from Whitley Bay.

This is a quiet end to my 365. The real finale is this piece, which took a week to edit.
It feels very trite to be thinking back on my year on New Years Day. Like suddenly the journey of a year is not personal but some worldwide phenomenon. My journey is my own. And, damnit? I prefer to be the special one.
I've a bad run lately on flickr, with people leaving crude, judgmental comments, assuming they know much more about me and my life than they actually do. It's motivated me to stop pouring my heart out on my photo text. So I'm going to stick to surface observations about the last year about my life.
Greatest accomplishments this year:
- And then I did it again. Naked. In a viking helmet.
- I got naked in a Flaming Lips music video.
- I made some friends. No really. I made them.
- My best friend from high school got married.
- I joined a writing group.
- I learned how to hula hoop.
- I visited a country on my top five list.
- There is a girl who lives in my pocket.
Less great:
- Learned why not to have a one-night stand with a girl you met in a bar in a foreign country. (hint: surprise! her mother just died.)
- Things are just as bad as always with my mother.
- My cat is going to die soon.
- I still haven't found a way to adopt a chihuahua.
- Bygones are not always bygones.
At the beginning of the year, I was unemployed, couch surfing with friends and family, breaking the few precious things I own. Now I have a great apartment all to myself, and an incredible job at an incredible place; I intend to stay there for years. I wish I could say more about my job; it's not a corporation like everyone seems to assume from my suitliness. I'm changing the world in tiny ways every day, and I love that. I utilize my mind, and I stretch myself, and I'm respected and valued and appreciated. And I love that.
Probably related to the job thing, I've become a bit of a fashionista. That's new. But I'm loving the artistry in clothing. It's a little late in life, but I'm learning to be a girl.
I began and ended my year with Elaine. We went to a party in the same house, so there's a nice bit of symmetry. Aside from Ms. Elaine, I've seen a number of friends come and go. It's painful and confusing, but I've come out the better for it. There are people who I miss terribly, but I am healthier and happier for their absence. Some friendships burn too brightly. Sometimes the quieter friendships endure.
I've been lucky enough to meet some wonderful people through the project. In fact, most of my closest friends seem to have come through flickr. So I am grateful for that. In that way, this project will always be a part of me. It has brought people into my life, and thus it has truly, deeply changed me.
Sometimes I feel very isolated; it seems like I don't have a lot of friends at all.
I'm realizing that I am incredibly friendly and incredibly introverted.
And the more I open my eyes and ears and heart, I realize I have love all around me, a spiderweb-thin series of connections that stretch right round the world. I love my humans, and they love me. And I am so grateful to have so many incredible people in my life.
So, really. To all of you who have shared your soul with me, or even some small piece of your heart? Thank you. Really, truly, deeply, thank you. When I think of all the incredible people I get to know, my head feels weak and my heart flutters. No joke.
A few favourite photos from this year:
Now is the winter of our discontent.
I can set you free but I could never let you go.
If you can see beauty even when it is not pretty....
So what comes next?
Hopefully you'll miss my face. Because I plan to focus on other stuff. I actually still have 10 photos from August that I never printed and texted. I think I may just edit them on computer after all and get them online. I am so far beyond them by now.
Hopefully I get caught up on my long backlog of photos.
I'd like to have one not-me shoot per week. I'd like to say that'll be a portrait of someone, but finding time, energy, and humans can occasionally prove difficult.
I've also created a flickr book club, which you should join if you like to read and you ever hurt for inspiration on your photos.
I also plan to finish editing and researching my novel, to take as many trips as I can, paint more, read more, and live more.
A stunning morning at Ken-Dee Marshes. A nature reserve well worth a visit.

Neptune Suite stateroom on the ms Zaandam. John checking out the itinerary for the weeks activities. Not our usual class of room but there was a last minute deal and it included a beverage card too. Woohoo!

Watch you weave then breathe your story lines
And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can so I can
Keep track of the visions in my eyes

She got control of me
I turn to her and say

With rather hard to find lens cap. The cap is a push-on type made of hard plastic or bakelite. The Rookie was made to be sold in the domestic market of Japan. All advertising is of course in Japanese. Never intended (we believe) to be an export model.

Thank you! Chris & Carol
Went for a walk this morning in the very heavy mist at Tynemouth. I was hoping for some very moody shots of the priory, but it was too misty. I could see no further than 50m. I spotted this lone person walking across the wet beach. I am quite enjoying the emptiness of this image.

I don't do new year's resolutions. Never have and (probably) never will as well. To me these things are pretty pointless. Should you be deceiving yourself with meaningless promises you won't hold anyway? IF you want to do something constructive which you want for a year, do a project like a 365 as I did in 2010 (or a project 52) or make it something else entirely. But please make it something constructive and not overly vague like "losing weight". Instead say you will start train running with some schedule for the next 30 or 60 days or so. A period which actually makes it fun as time passes sooner than making plans for a whole year.
After having a lot of ideas which were too hard to execute on location (I'm in Belgium right now with travel gear), I made this resolution up of shaving more since I needed a shave anyway. The final image got together in my head after walking around the house. A lot of photoshop abuse along with five different photos went into the final photo.. Nothing which ~20 layers can't fix.
Strobist info
Canon 580EXII @ 1/16 (35mm) on axis.
Canon 430EXII @ 1/4 (35mm) camera left, bare . Lying on an unstable contraption of a chair and a trashbin.
Camera triggered by Yongnuo RF-602
Flashes triggered by Cactus v5
Shot tethered to avoid running back and forth with shaving cream on my face
Extra shout-out to my makeshift tripod constructed out of three ikea tables, two cutting boards, two remote controls, a lenscap and the yongnuo RX unit itself.
Taken with a Polaroid 800/110a/600se conversion, a Belair Instax Wide back, a 110b f90 lenscap and expired instax film.
arrrggg
yes this means I finally got my Canon and let me tell u he's quite the rebel... we make a great cuple....
u will notice me go nuts in the next few months until we start getting old together lol
ps. I'm okay I swear
My fist attempt at the ole double exposure lens cap trick! The only problem was that I forgot to put the lens cap on and refocus between exposures! It took more than a few attempts to get this lined up properly and had to move a lot of furniture out of the way! That's day 179 done… day off for me tomorrow! Night all!
Strobist… 580exii lastolite ezybox speedlite low camera right 1/1 24mm. 580exii bare high camera left 1/8 70mm. Flash fired at beginning of exposure then spun the orb over the other side of the room!
Canon 400mm 2.8 IS II
Lots of options... drop in filter at the rear, dial to spin the lens along the tripod mount so you don't gave to change the camera itself, 3 stabilization modes...
With my 70-200 for scale. The button near the front is to pause AF however I wish it could be set as the shutter button so you could handhold it by the tripod extension and the front...
In its hard case with giant hood reversed and leather & fabric lenscap in place...
A present from Canon, I had a chance to play with this amazing lens a couple of weeks ago...
I absolutely hate it!!! (for making my other lenses look bad ; )
I was able to shoot some outdoor football, indoor basketball, the local skatepark at sunset, and some local wildlife. It produced some stunning shots.
For this shot I got to try out my new Nikon D70 w the 50mm 1.8 AF lens from my F4...
It was a brutal photo shoot on the top of Castle Crag, but the great thing about photographing in adverse weather is that you have the chance to capture some real drama!!
My video covering this shoot will be live tomorrow (28/09/16) at 18.00GMT(+1)

About a year ago the camera I had been using died and I bought this one. It takes great photos, but it has so many buttons I really don't understand everything it's capable of. I picked it up to take a shot recently and realized I was taking a video. It took me five minutes to figure out what buttons I had accidentally pushed.
For the All New Scavenger Hunt #18 - Your camera.
A popular view and certainly not my most enjoyable place to take a photograph. If only there weren't any other photographers in the national parks... hmmmm. The mist you can see is the smoke from the Bridalveil Falls wildfire, which is adding a ton of atmosphere. As crowded as this location may be, it is still stunningly beautiful.

These two lovely ladies were looking after us on the Oman Airways flight from Salalah to Muscat. We had just arrived in Muscat, when I asked to take a shot of them ; they happily agreed. After I`d taken this image & most passengers had left the plane, I needed a few moments to find the lens cap. By then the relay bus had departed , but the ladies said it was no problem, I could travel with them .However I was not allowed to by some "jobsworth" person , nor was I allowed to walk the ca. hundred metres to the terminal . So I just had to wait for the bus to return to pick up just me !!!! When I made it into the terminal my annoyed/embarrassed wife gave me a good ticking off.
