I haven't tried this either and think I should do so every time I see a photo like this. In reality I suspect I am a little too lazy to put the effort in to leave the house at night!

Thanks Sam, I'm pleased that you like it

I'm very picky on the locations that I'll use

you really should give this a go at least once I find it very satisfying and if you don't want to go out alone there are always TPers about to join in the fun

Day 6 - No Falling Here...

...They'll be no domino's falling here

but this is very similar to a photo I initially shot almost two years ago, in that time I've learnt to put more thought into my compositions and much more knowledge of my camera and how it works

so hopefully that will show in this image as an improvement over the last time I did it

6/365 (737) by mwhcvt, on Flickr

You can see the original version of this photo that I shot nearly 2 years ago HERE

Thanks Vince, I'm glad you prefer this one, as I think this one is so much better than my previous version

Tezz450D · 06-01-2013, 19:04

It is a good idea to look back on your work and see how far you have come

Love the reflections and the pov.

hayley.price · 06-01-2013, 19:09

Thanks Sarah, I think that over this challenge and 737 days thus far I have managed to improve my photographic skills, pleased that you like the photo from today

and I'm sure that you will see the same improvement in your own photography as I've seen in mine

I think just the fact that you've got to use the camera every day makes you more familiar with it and it also has you looking for that photo

and if your anything like me you know when your photo is not that good and if you have to put a naff photo up it annoys you and drives you to make sure you do better, I know that's how it is for me

Cg_Girl · 06-01-2013, 19:51

I love this... tho everytime i come on here someone has done a shot i want lol.... the amount of times i've changed last minute

If i make it far enough then it would be good to have this to look back on

it would be great to see your take on it

toadstool · 06-01-2013, 20:33

Love it! Much better than the previous one

Great idea, too. Nice!

I've still got a couple of photos from early 2009 onwards...

I took a lot more self portraits back then apparently!!

I think it means that I'm showing improvement

looking froward to at least the one mandatory Selfy for you challenge

The second trail adds to this, don't see that too often, like it

toadstool · 06-01-2013, 21:54

Hah! My most recent selfy was when I had the 17-55 2.8 on hire and a simple arms length... Now that's gone back, I'm back to just the 50mm and the kit lens.. we'll see :P

Dark Knight · 06-01-2013, 21:58

There was a first shot was there

Dark Knight · 06-01-2013, 22:25

Well... I certainly prefer the composition of the new one, but the domino's seem much whiter in the old shot, which wb is correct or am I imagining it

The white balance is correct on this new version, the previous one was done with flash and clearly I never got the white balance quite right, thought I still wasn't actually using RAW exclusively back then so no really correction options either

Cheers

yeah the colours are really wrong on that old one, as these domino's are a faux ivory so they're certainly not as white as in that first photo would have you think

at least that also shows improvement in my photographic eye
