My name's Alex, i'm 19 and work as a networking enginer for a company in Bangor, I live in Llandudno North Wales. Photography has become a hobby, and i've really got into it. So much so, i'm starting a photography night course in College for 9 hours a week from september 15th. Hopefully my photos and terminology will improve over the next year.

I have a Nikon D60 with kit lens, nifty fifty, and a sigma 55-200. I will be adding a new lens to the collection tomorrow, either a 10.5mm fiseye or the 60mm macro lens.

I've been wanting to do a 365 for a few weeks now. The images will be random. I've only had my dslr since april 1st. Since then, I think there's only been a few days I havn't taken a picture. So now we're half way through the year (Exactly) I thought i'd start today :)

As there's a few people (George, Jimmy & Marcel , that I know of) doing a 365, I don't expect everybody to reply / comment on each photos. C+C is more than welcome though!

Thanks

I was going to use an image I took yesterday, but I thought that wouldn't be a good start, as i've not been out today, I popped my head out of the velux window and took this. I added the border as it looked a little bland.

I quite like it. Maybe a little too tight a crop though

HDR... everyone's using it now!

Whittie
03-06-2008, 12:06
It's not HDR :o

Whittie
03-06-2008, 12:08
Might have a go at it soon, never done a HDR image before.

Had a read of this earlier... http://backingwinds.blogspot.com/2006/10/how-to-create-professional-hdr-images.html

The shot is good, but maybe a little too saturated IMO.
Also, did you get any panning shots as I always prefer shots with a little (or lots of) motion!

Day 9: Went out to get a sunset tonight, i missed it by miles :lol: So got this....

This set shows promise. Doing a 365 isn't easy because although the aim is to post a good pic every day, you also need to have the creative thought every day - which is the hard part. Keep thinking about the opportunities (eg plan tomorrow's shot) and you should do fine.

Techno-Geek
12-06-2008, 23:45
^^ What he said, that is it basically.

I have started mine again aswell, i think what we should do is decide on what sort of picture you want then go out and try and get it :)

Whittie

Day 14: St Pauls Cathedral. I've got some others but lighting was REALLY bad and the sky was just completely white :( Got a few of the building as a whole from the front, but only had a 18-55 lens :(

Day 23: I went to the top of the 'Little Orme' today, it's a small local mountain. I tried to get a few pictures of views but ended up seeing this, as there was no sky, and it was quite dark I edited it in a 'old style' with use of sepia, film grain, vigenette and a little noise / desaturation. C&C would be good on this pic as i'm not sure if it's quite "old looking"

There were no birds on the feeder today, they are all soaked!

Day 27: Nothing good from me today i'm afraid, went out hunting for a few pics and they all came back not how I wanted.... Ended uploading these two. One of my girlfriend from when we went on a walk earlier, and one of the "Inside car, long exposures" it's my first attempt at the LE in a car, I know i failed quite badly... but i'll try again with the camera firmly secure rather than it just resting on the back seats on a tripod! Hopefully get something good tomorrow :(

Only just posting now due to waiting for it to go dark. Went to see 'Wanted' in the cinema today... go and see it, it's awesome!

Love the pictures, you have some great ones on flickr too.. Will add you as a bud, if that's okay?

What tablet did you get, I'm desperate to buy one but they are a hell of a lot of money and I need a calibration tool first I think!

Keep up the 365 and good luck!

03-07-2008, 16:48
Thank you very much Paul! Yeah add away, :)

There was some Walcom tablets in the shop, and I asked one of their staff what should I use as a starter, he pointed me towards the "Walcom Bamboo" tablet, I paid £55 for it. It's quite hard to use at first, but compared to a mouse you can get VERY accurate results. I don't know which ones you've been looking at, but i'm really happy with mine. No point in getting a fancy wide version for £150 when never used one before.

Day 37: Only went out to the gym today and to post a few more CV's. The rest of the day was spent on various job agency websites, Monster, fish4jobs, reed and letterbox being the main ones. I'm still having no luck. Applied for lots of jobs towards Chester today, will be a nightmare getting there everyday (1 hour drive there and back) but nobody local needs employers. It's really disheartening when i'm putting so much effort into getting a job and not even getting letters or emails back saying they're not interested!

Anyway today's picture is the Chester Chronical and North Wales Weekly News, and yes, on the jobs section.

Nice pic, sad theme :( I really hope you get a break soon mate, in the mean time, take comfort from the fact that your images are good enough for you to make a living from them as far as I am concerned. Perhaps an avenue you can explore via your local business gateway whilst searching for a regular gig.

Good luck matey, fingers are crossed for you.

Alex, such a good shot for a sad occasion, I talk to you every day and am starting to feel you pain, I always knew you shot good pictures and maybe its time to take a walk into the photogrphy/design shop and show a portfolio?

Thank you, Gary & Gary thanks but i dont think i'm anywhere near ready to think about making money from pics, or consider it a job. (Im not fishing for compliments either) Just dont feel as though anybody would employ me.

Just posting on here now to say tomorrow(today)'s image might be late as i've got a hospital appointment down in London, so i might be back too late and might not go on the laptop.

Thanks Gary...

Quick copy & paste of the web for you:

Welcome to the CGD Research Trust website

The CGD Research Trust is the world's leading specialist organisation involved with Chronic Granulomatous Disorder, a rare immune deficiency.


What is CGD (Chronic Granulomatous Disorder)?

CGD is a rare and life-threatening genetic condition which could affect 8-10 people in a million of us. You are born with a faulty gene in your bone marrow, meaning your white blood cells cannot fight infections as they should. People with CGD have to take powerful antiobiotics and antifungals every day.

Thanks Rob :)

It's not as bad as its portrayed in that sentence above I guess. Theres people i've met with the same condition that have had a **** life, and generally been ill all their lives. I've had it since birth and it'll never go away. about 4-5 years ago was the last 'serious' thing that happened when my oesophagus closed up and couldn't swallow. A high dosage of steroids had to clear it.

As i said though, i'm healthy. I lead a normal life, so it's not that bad.

Dude, just had a catch up.. Sorry about the Job hunt, a few people from work are looking to and I know it is quite hard.

Keep you chin up!

I love the photo from Snowdon, it's amazing!

How often do you have to go to hospital, is it a regular thing - you have a top bloody attitude!

The more I am on the forum, the more I am getting to know some crazy cool people! :thumbs:

Whittie
08-07-2008, 22:48
Tony - Most things IT related mate.

Snowball (is it paul??) I go to London once a year, and to a local hospital once every three months. The care is second to none, can't fault it.

Day 38:

Well, as said yesterday today should be a London Shot. So it is.

Day 39: Boring picture from me today, went to the gym and I think that's the only time i'm going out today. My morning consisted of emails, letters and online job agencies. My afternoon is going to be interesting... ALL my pictures I take I just put on the laptop, Nikon's software tries to organise it, but after seeing Bridge in use in an Apple shop last week, i've decided to attempt organising 5000+ pictures :| The pictures I like I just drop and drag into a folder on my desktop called "Camera" REALLY need to sort it out so i've decided to give it a go anyway :) I'm knackard today so I thought the word Energy had to be in my 365.

Some really nice images appearing in the thread... IT works nice if you can get it, Might be worth while sending out some letters to local electrical contractor and large firms to see if they have any openings.

And as you have stated you will never be out of work.... Started as a electricians mate when I was 19 and for the last 25 years been working in deep dark holes... Channel Tunnel and London Underground.

Good luck on the Job front and keep banging on doors.

Who is the local Electricity Supplier in your area, its EDF here and they have a very good education program and once your foot is in the door thats you until they push you out feet first.

Might be worth throwing a CV their way..

MY brother is a lines man with EDF all he does all day is drive round in land rover checking the remote LV lines and poles and fixing the odd fault. I would love his job as he get every where.... Would be nice doing that with a camera on the passenger seat for company...

Welcome to the Forums mate. I'm glad my thread has of been interest for you. I don't do much processing on the images, just a few little tweaks, contast boost and sharpen them a little sometimes.

If you have a look on my flickr, on a selected picture, click underneath "Nikon D60" Where it says More Properties and you'll see what settings the pictures were used. Example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexwhitfield/2661173381/meta/
