Daily JohnN's attempt at a 366 project for 2012 (failed - I missed a day!)

[MWHCVT]

Some of them may have been quick shot's but you can tell that there has still been thought and consideration into have you've taken the photo now before I'd even seen the title my first thought on that doll was it was chucky

Matt

 

[JohnN]

lol, that doll is EVIIIL!!

And thank you... one more quick shot coming up!

You're right though even when I just grab whatever is to hand I usually take at least four or five shots before choosing the best of the bunch.


Day 52 - Lying around by magsnorton, on Flickr

 

[JohnN]

Well, just been through and fixed a load of broken flickr links (again), I suspect I'll be doing more later, but have to shoot out now.

Last three days images coming soon!

Day 54 - Curry by magsnorton, on Flickr

Day 55 - New Horizons by magsnorton, on Flickr

 

[StewC]

Fair bit of tweaking on day 52 i reckon - like the effect though.

Also liking the latest shot (day 55) something clean and simple about the lines (nice rule of thirds) while the sky still has a lot of detail when you look closely.

 

[JohnN]

lol, yep just a wee bit on 52

55 was just a moment, I was off looking for a kestrel when I looked up and saw that, just lucky.

 

[HWest]

Day 55 is a really striking image and would look great framed and hung: but that laptop is genius.

 

[MWHCVT]

I love you broken laptop one I've broken a couple of laptops in the last few years so I can relate to that image quite well :bonk:

Day 56 - The Squabble by magsnorton, on Flickr

Top class parenting there

"Daddy!"

"Not now, I'm taking a picture of your brother's emotional scarring..."

 

[JohnN]

Nah, you can yell at 'em while taking pics!

Actually its funny how quickly they go from happy to screeching, you barely get time to lower the lens.

When I post up the rest of the 1D3 stuff on flickr you'll see the happy one, they just don't make as striking an image.

 

[JohnN]

I had shed loads I could have done today, but I quite liked this one.


Day 57 - Kookaburra in flight by magsnorton, on Flickr

 

[MWHCVT]

I love Day 56, I'm having a really rubbish time at the moment, so it may be the evil side of me coming out but that one really made me laugh so thanks for that you've cheered me up for a few minutes

Matt

 

[michael23]

nice flight shot John.

 

[phil_b]

Loving day 56, children are so temperamental. This is my first time going through your whole thread, lots of great shots there. Keep up the good work.

Phil

 

[JohnN]

Cheers guys - I've not given up yet although work is really trying to make that happen!!

I've a few more shots to put up soon, nothing spectacular, just snaps when I get a second before rushing of to the next job, but at least its keeping the camera near which is good and I've found these quick snaps quite rewarding as it makes me think more about the mundane around me.

 

[JohnN]

Incoming!!!!

Yep, the last few days catchup, before I go away again and work tries to stuff up my project

As always when I'm in a rush, my daughter's random playthings come to the fore - Bless her


Day 58 - Goodbye my friend by magsnorton, on Flickr


Day 59 - Life on the road by magsnorton, on Flickr


Day 60 - Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken... by magsnorton, on Flickr


Day 61 - All dressed up... by magsnorton, on Flickr


Day 62 - Early beginnings by magsnorton, on Flickr

 

[HWest]

I really like the chicken.

 

[michael23]

The chicken is excellent, nice vivid colours. Liking day 62 as well.

 

[JohnN]

I did like the chicken, not as punchy as I had it in my mind, but still its turned out okay.

Another bit of time away so the old point and shoot was out again.


Day 63 - Mirror man by magsnorton, on Flickr

Day 63 - Mirror man by magsnorton, on Flickr


Day 64 - Away day by magsnorton, on Flickr

I like the close up on the engine part. Lots of character.

 

[JohnN]

lol, thats a hair dryer

 

[HWest]

Doesn't really matter what it is, does it? What is looks like is usually the most interesting thing to me.

I thought it was part of an old vespa or lambretta engine casing; the slightly vintage feel given by the grain helped with that impression.

 

[MWHCVT]

I'm loving Day 62 the colour, focus and DoF on that is just perfect overall some more really great photo's since my last visit

Matt

 

[JohnN]

The next batch... really nothing great at all - another weeks of rough work!


Day 65 - Springs the thing by magsnorton, on Flickr


Day 66 - Hmn.. what on earth! by magsnorton, on Flickr


Day 67 - The great tin of ginger! by magsnorton, on Flickr

 

[JohnN]

Again sub par

Lovely shot I spotted on the way home from another long day, but being knackered and only the point and shoot to hand really spoilt it.


Day 68 - Homeward bound by magsnorton, on Flickr

 

[JohnN]

A bit better - my wife found a dead bee on the floor and being splndid (or od!) wife thought I might like it - she was right!!!

I think if I could have positioned it better it would have been a better shot.

Anyway it gave me an excuse to bring out the rails I bought ages ago but never used and the teleconvertor and tubes

Day 69 - A not so happy bee by magsnorton, on Flickr

 

[HWest]

That's a really impressive shot of the bee. I love that you can see the structure of the eye.

 

[MWHCVT]

That bee macro is just stunning the detail and focus is epic

Matt

 

[JohnN]

Thanks, although I was a little disappointed though - I guess I'll just have to get a MP-E 65 at some point!!

 

[JohnN]

Todays was not the one I had intended, but the eyes just caught me dead!


Day 70 - Stare by magsnorton, on Flickr

 

[HWest]

Satan's child!

 

[JohnN]

Of course

The piccy of my daughter just reminds me to the skee ballers from Dogma.

Another trip to the old butterfly house and this time with the Tamron.

Day 71 - Butterfly by magsnorton, on Flickr[/URL]

 

[michael23]

Hi John, the pic of the Bee is great. Very good detail in there. Like the pic of your daughter, the look says it all. Nice composition of the butterfly.

 

[MWHCVT]

Love both of them since my last visit but that butterfly one is just stunning the colours are wonderful

Matt

 

[JohnN]

I have to admit that butterfly really brought back out teh macro in me - hence the 5D up for sale to part fund a MP-E 65 + MT-24!!

Anyway I'm back so heres the backlog


Day 72 - Erm.. its a phone! by magsnorton, on Flickr

Now this next one isn't the real pick of the day, but look at it... now look again - whats wrong with it??

Day 73 - Coffee - just before midnight by magsnorton, on Flickr

Day 74 - Days away by magsnorton, on Flickr

Day 75 - Networking by magsnorton, on Flickr

Day 76 - Goodbye old friend by magsnorton, on Flickr

 

[MWHCVT]

I'm actually in the market for a new camera but I'm looking at the mk2, thruth be told I'm hoping to get new if the funds become avalible before it goes out of stock :bonk: I'm one of the few that didn't want the launch so soon :bang:

Some great images as always

I've seen the MP-E65 in action at one of the TP meets I did and all I can say is wow

Matt

 

[JohnN]

I'm really looking forward to getting frustrated by it!

 

[michael23]

Liking the goodbye to your 5d shot. I would love an mpe lens, its a cracking lens.

 

[HWest]

That Networking shot is a stunning use of selective colour.
