day52 52of366
A week or so ago I went to a printing workshop. I took photos of the prints, then used some as layers and blended them.
I really liked how yesterday's diptych of the old camera came out so I dug out another one from my brother's collection. This time it's an Aires 35-III from the 1950's (I think).
Hey, it's Day 52. Tell you what - how about an abstracty shot today? Why not?!
What happened here...? Well, because the sky wasn't very interesting today I had the idea of extending my ladder against the side of the house - and fastening the camera to the top rung using the gorilla pod. Lighting everything from below.
Guess what? I didn't work. By the time this shot came around the camera had kind of sagged so it was shooting more of the wall than me (hence me being crammed into one distorted corner). But I kind of like the way the wall looks, so I'm going with it.
Lighting: 580EXII (1/16 power) down there on the tripod, on the ground, looking up at you.
Doesn't the word 'rung' just look wrong? I love words like that :-)
Daughter Mila was willing to pose for me... but make it quick!
I think she did perfectly :)

What rolls down stairs,
Alone or in pairs,
And over your neighbour's dog?
It's great for a snack,
It fits on your back,
It's Log, Log, Log!
Lo-og, Lo-og, it's big it's heavy it's wood!
Lo-og, Lo-og, it's better than bad, it's good!

PROJECT365 photo Day 52, 17th June 07.
Also my 7 Days Of Shooting Photo
THEME: Doorways
Macro Monday
I visited a heritage building called Vaucluse House, on a very rainy Sunday. I found this padlock on a door. I've enhanced the levels through Photoshop to make it a bit more interesting:-)
I have a few other shots of the buildings and grounds in my photostream.
Info:
Vaucluse House survives as one of Sydney's only 19th century harbourside estates with house, kitchen wing, stables and outbuildings and is still surrounded by ten hectares of formal gardens and grounds.
Built in 1803, Vaucluse House was once owned by William Charles Wentworth, 'father' of the first Constitution for New South Wales, his wife Sarah and their immediate family of 10 children who lived in the house from 1827ā1853 and again in 1861ā1862.
This gothic style mansion includes both lavish entertaining rooms and functional 'downstairs' areas. Vaucluse House paints a picture of the social aspirations and lifestyles of the Wentworths and of the servants, both convict and free, who lived and worked there. The interiors include original Wentworth pieces together with furniture, furnishings and collections of the early to mid 19th century.

I went to the MOMA today, this is me on the train before passing out. im exhausted and focused on what happend earlier this morning slash last night. i dont know what to think . . . One of my more positive moments was that all my work over the year, all the good i put out into the world is finally paying off. Im still confused but i feel blessed for this time for its the sweet pleasures in life that make it all worth living.
i swore i wouldnt turn into a gayass but, im so filled with emotion my heart could just burst.
So this was my choice two, but I went with the other one =]
Like I said, if you're viewing this, please leave your comments and opinions. I need them to grow as a photographer. (But I know it's blurry. The lens fogged)
I hate going from one extreme to another with my photos, but... pretty busy day today, so I decided not to put too much effort into my photo of the day. I tried incorporating it into my task of replacing the living room window blinds. However, it ended-up being a little more work than I had thought, as anytime I do a shoot close to a wall lighting becomes an interesting beast to work with. In the end I just bounced a light off the far wall, and then did my best to balance that with the outdoor light in order to keep the stuff outside the window from over-exposing.
Lighting/Setup Info
- SB600 at 24mm zoom and TTL with zero compensation, bare. Positioned camera-right about 4 feet from subject, but bounced off opposite wall which was about 8 to 10 feet from the flash.
Day 52. Sorry, I don't have an excuse for my absence. I don't really intend to give on either, I've just been sitting around on flickr for a couple days.
I've been looking through all your streams though, I'm always keeping an eye on them. I feel like I've been hit by a truck, but not in a bad way. And I really should've seen it coming. But I feel okay, strangely. I don't know what I'm feeling anymore, haha. I hope I won't make anymore mistakes.
I guess I feel relieved. I feel a lot happier lately.
I had a sleepover at my friend's house last night. It was crazy, I gained like, 200 pounds from all the food I ate, haha.
Outtake from an old shoot. I intended to use this as the picture to upload, but I guess it's convenient that I saved it for a procrastination day.
Boy, I just realized I have a lot of homework I need to do and catch up on, haha.
Hey, if you haven't noticed yet, I'm having a PRINT EXCHANGE. Go sign up for it, I want your photoooooos *grabby hands*
I'll be closing it in a couple days, not sure when.

Everyone should have a mate like my mate Mark. When it comes to my photography projects he's the best. His eyes never glaze over when I talk about apertures and shutter speeds and he's always happy to let me shoot bits of him when I'm stuck for the day.
So as he bought himself a new car at the weekend he kindly took the afternoon off of work so that I could use it for a shot I had in mind. I say kindly, to be fair he doesn't ever need much of an excuse to skive away from work, but as I know he'll be reading this I'll continue to say nice things :)
To cut a very long story short the photo went tits up. (Although we will return to it later in the year when the weather's warmer.)
I took some random shots just of the car before heading home just so I had something to post.
Mark asked what I'd do if none of the shots were any good. I joked that if all else failed I'd take a crappy shot and process it to death. Well, I say joked but that's exactly what I've ended up doing!
Roll on summer.
A deviant red wine. Flavors are layered with strong herb, mint, leather and jam. The tight tannin structure and long finish is a perfect match to robust meats or smokey BBQ.
February 21, 052/365 (1148/1461)- Spent over an hour and a hundred or so shots trying to get a great sunrise photo standing out shivering on a sandbar in the bay . . . then my favorite of the morning was the last one taken out the window of the truck when I was starting to drive home!
My roomie made me friendship tea Saturday for my sore throat. It's a mix of lemonade powder, Tang powder, Iced tea powder, and cinnamon, and it's amazzzing :)
EXPLORE #262
And for today's geometric offerings we have chocolate buttons.....many buttons were harmed in the creation of this image....another trip to the Dr's and being told I am to be off for 2 more weeks left me with little enthusiasm for today, then I remembered the Week 8 theme of Diptych and here we have it. I couldn't have them all the same so popped a giant choc button in there for good measure. This also meant that I now have a giant bag of buttons to eat as well as the small !!
This Push is really taking over now....what will I find to line up tomorrow !!
Thanks again for all the well wishes, views, comments and faves all are very much appreciated :)
I had a very productive day. I really felt like I was on top of things. Plus, the view was a bonus.

Tomorrow my studio will move to a new location. Preparing for that today and also working at the replacement of my website's content. I updated my wordpress blog as well. Changed the theme and deleted old posts. To finish the blog page on my website I wanted to add a new picture. This is the result.

Day 52: Today's photo is a plain snapshot of my stepson's third grade project, a model of our solar system. It's funny how much work parents have to do when such projects are assigned. I don't remember my parents helping me with any of my projects.

I've finally worked out why I fail 365 year after year. I get passionate but then lose steam very quickly when I take a few bad shots and then it becomes a chore rather than an enjoyment and I get stressed about quality of stream etc.
So I've come up with a bit of an idea. I'm going to create collages for the days that I wasn't feeling very inspired of days when the shots just weren't up to scratch.
It also helps with the time limit thing. In the last month or so I've been away on work business, commenced a full time course and been keeping a big secret... as well as trying to work full time, have some sort of social life and continue to learn photography! It's a lot!
So from now on, I'm not going to beat myself up if things don't go how I want them to. The goal is 365. So far I'm still in the game. These were the 'worst' of my stacked up shots dating back to early February. I'll catch up the rest tomorrow and be back up to date.
Another thing I've worked out is that my 'passion' for photography is episodic in nature. So it's okay if some of my shots are quite literally 23:55 PM shots from my phone. It's my project!
I won't have time to catch up on all the awesome shots that I've missed over the last month but hope to start putting a few hours in here and there again over the next few months and re-establishing friendships and ohhing and ahhing at the quality in my friends list :-)
Phew... thanks for reading. How are you? :-)
Today we went to a Shaeffer's birthday party. The kids had fun swimming and playing in the gigantic bounce house - and by gigantic I mean GIGANTIC!!! The biggest I have ever seen. Zechariah had a blast driving Shaeffer's fire engine around the back yard. I will post pictures of that when I have more time.
Random Fact of the Day: I pierced my own ears when I was a teenager - my second and third holes. And I did a pretty damn good job getting them even if I must say so myself. Not that I would recommend anyone do it the way I did - I don't. I used a lighter to sterilize a push pin and an ice cube to numb my lobe. Luckily I never got any sort of infection or anything.
