Daily Sarah's 365 31st December 2013 - The End! (CAN'T BELIEVE I'VE ACTUALLY FINISHED!!)

[toadstool]

Hi Sarah! Awesome opening shot Good luck with the other 364!

 

[whipspeed]

Don't remind me I've still got to think of 364 more shots!!!

 

[flook999]

Thank you.

Colin - I don't know if you can set the exposure time on an i-phone, but you need about 25 seconds for this & a tripod or something to sit the phone on.

haven't found a way to set exposure (or anything else manually) on the iphone, though there is probably an app for that

Day 2, 2nd January 2013

Well down at the tube station at midnight would be cool, but this is just down at Wellingborough station just after tea

Light trails with a difference Sarah, nice. There is some nice detail in the train station too.

 

[whipspeed]

Thank you, loses a bit in web compression, but mostly still there.

 

[~Sam~]

I really like it - the kind of blue star effect at the end really adds to the overall photo. Also, the platform, tracks and lights all following the same flow works well to me.

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Sam, using a nice small apeture usually gives a good starburst effect on lighting. That happened to be just in the right place
Although with the orange lighting it was just about impossible to get the light to look green and not blue

 

[Tezz450D]

Love the light trils and the starburst...the ornate station makes it a very interesting subject ...what did you do with all the commuters lol

 

[MWHCVT]

Oh I really like that would have been better with a train passing on your side of the tracks but I guess you were waiting for that one so not a good idea to miss it just to get a photo

 

[carolthomasburns]

absolutely wonderful shot Sarah Love the antique feel to the station

 

[fotojerk]

i tried to do this but failed, good luck to everyone!

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks, we went down after commuter time, so not many people about & I took this just as the train on the other platform was leaving for London. Would have liked one going North, but wrong time Still always another time.

 

[Cg_Girl]

Lovely Sarah! so much detail

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Trace.

 

[flook999]

really nice shot

 

[Sonriendo]

Very impressed with the station shot. Wondering if I can pluck up courage to go out solo with camera and tripod, camera on it's own is not a problem, but I feel like a tit with the tripod

 

[whipspeed]

Know what you mean, but I have got used to it now I feel more confident with a tripod than if I don't have one and try to do street photography. I'm quite a coward at that one, so will have to make myself do a few this year

 

[Sonriendo]

Now, I don't mind poking my camera into strangers faces I think they just think I'm the Nutty Englisher

 

[SamuelSlade007]

The station has a beautiful feel to it. Well done. Great capture of the light trails...

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Frank.

Sarah, there's our challenge, you get your tripod out & I'll do some street photography

 

[Sonriendo]

Thanks Frank.

Sarah, there's our challenge, you get your tripod out & I'll do some street photography

I WILL have a go at it, as I've rather stupidly joined in with Kelack's challenge too, I thought the two would complement each other rather well

3rd January 2013

From Leicester with Love, as opposed to Russia which is a bit of a long way away

Hubby picked this up outside the shoe shop whilst waiting for me to finish shoe shopping as he wanted to sketch it. I've got in first though with my photograph.

That's lovely, like the water drop

 

[whipspeed]

Thank you, was looking at the leaf & just thought it needed something else.

 

[toadstool]

Love that shot. The droplet, the textures, everything. Good job!

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Toni

 

[Cg_Girl]

That's a stunning shot! The texture the light and colours all work so well together

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks Trace, I've had the leaf drying for a week ready to take the shot

 

[vince31]

Day 3 is lovely !!The water droplet is classic style

 

[carolthomasburns]

That is a beautiful shot ...... love the colours of the leaf and the water certainly just adds that little bit of ooomph Well done - some great shots so far Sarah

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks both, I'm really happy with this one, but still life is my favourite subject to shoot. Back out for a landscape tomorrow.

 

[phil_b]

Love the leaf Sarah, nice work.

 

[hayley.price]

love it well done sarah

 

[~Sam~]

I saw this on my phone earlier and I can tell you, the Samsung does not do it justice! Great photo - the colours against that background work so well.

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks for the comments, I think I might get this one printed.

 

[TimmyG]

Lovely tones in that last one.

 

[MWHCVT]

I like that the textures of the leaf, and then the processed wood of the table really work well together, sort of clean and tidy in one aspect and tired and unkempt in the same frame

Matt

 

[whipspeed]

Thanks both.

 

[karmagarda]

Great start! Love the light painting to kick the 365 off
