Welcome...

Welcome to my project 365.



What is project 365? It is simply where you take a photo a day for 365 days.

Why do project 365? People do it for different reasons but I received a new camera for xmas and in order to get used to using it I decided the best way was to use it often, not just when I schedule a shoot but for everyday things. Project 365 will get me thinking outside the 'box' and make me think more creatively about what I am photographing. If you happen to stop by don't be a blog stalker :) sign up and leave me a message........I hate talking to myself!


Ok well I finished my 365 so now what? For now I'm just going to update a few things that happen so that family members following can still see what we are up to.

PAINTING WITH LIGHT

Day 244 / 365


I had a lot of fun with this one.  It's called painting with light.  Basically you use a torch light in a dark room with a very long exposure and 'paint' away.  I was in a small room with an 85mm lens so not a lot of room to play with, next time I'll use a wider lens and maybe write some words but it really was a fun experiement.  For those who want to try this at home you will need a tripod or something to sit the camera on, a dark room and a torch or light of some sort to paint with.  Set your camera to self timer and set the exposure for 10 seconds or so.  (You will need to manually focus on the area you are going to be standing)   Switch off your flash too.
If you do happen to give it a go make sure you show me the results.  I'd love to see what you get.
