Day 42 : Hop It

a little story to this one - I just found this little dude hopping accross my lounge floor, and captured him in a glass before the dog could get him - by way of scale he's about the size of my thumbnail. Ive no idea where he came from or how or why he came in, but ive relocated him to our flower bed

the weathers okay , but i'm so overloaded with work its not funny

like the Cross Canadian Ragweed song says 'i'd have a breakdown but i can't find the time' so no real opportunities to get out and take pictures for a while

I rather foolishly let a backlog of these build up - but ive finally found time to clear it - you'll notice a theme to some of these, as since good weather has finally arrived ive been playing in the garden

Some really nice photo's since I last visited Pete, all I can say is don't let it build up, you need to try and post every day as it's so easy to drown in the backlog :eek:

Loving the high contrast string (y)

I've made a slight cock of the order as this one is actually todays pic - but yesterdays was a raw and i havent got round to converting it , so i'll post this one as day 54 - and post yesterdays and tommorows, tommorow as 55 and 56 (clear as mud i know)

anyway

day 54: Snackeroonie

cheers vince
 
I've made something of a cock of the order as i nhave a number of unprocessed shots now (numpty :bonk: ) so anyway this here is todays but i'll put it in sequentially and catch the rest up this evening or tommorow with a bit of luck

day 55 : life through a lens

I took this for a for sale thread , but i rather like it so i thought i'd make it my POTD

To be honest mate i'm a little behind in photography - total carnage at work as we try to rephase the budget to close various performance holes so i just havent had the time or the energy

I'm going to resume from this weekend (plus i have four shots from last week not processed yet)

cheers vince - I've sort of stalled , totally overworked and stressed at the moment and subsequently lack the energy or motivation to do anything much outside of work apart from eat and sleep

part of the problem was that the 1000 challenge was becoming a chore rather than fun , and rather than driving my photography to new heights the pressure to do one every day in often very limited time was leading to quickly taken mediocre shots of any old crap , which is counter productive to what i wanted to achieve when i started this

Accordingly I will be back once ive put a couple of work projects put to bed , but i'll be changing the rules of the challenge , to be 1000 top line shots within 3 years of the start date (ie the same time frame as before), but not necessarily taken one per day

Look forward to you re-commencement (y)(y)
 
aaand i'm back - playing by the new rules as above

shot 56: Exe estuary at low tide

day_whatever.jpg


this was my insurance shot from TP day - but as it wasnt needed for that i thought i'd use it as a relaunch shot for the moose extravaganza. I'm not entirely happy with the sky -imo i needed a ND grad filter - but i don't have an adaptor ring for the lens this was taken with.

Shot 57 : Branscombe beach towards sunset

day_whatever_2.jpg


slightly random - in the spirit of the upcoming disposable camera challenge , i set myself a challenge to see what i could get with my phone (Blackberry disorganiser) , and this was the result - given that its shot straght into the sun i think its done pretty well for a phone.

People are so hung up on gear. Lovely shot, works really well. I might almost prefer it without the dog in find it a little distracting but I love the light!

Day 15 in a spin...

two shots today because i couldnt decide which i liked better (thoughts on that welcome) - both abstracts of the inside of my washing machine (ive left the WB inspired blue cast on deliberately because i think it adds to the shot) - from which you can understand that yes, its still heaving it down

Super idea!

It's a pain when there's "nothing" to photograph, but it brings out the creativity at times too. :)
