MWHCVT said:as Vince said welcome to the madhouse it's great to have you here two very nice photos to start the thread off with the light trail it would have been so much better with the big telegraph pole in centre frame.

SamuelSlade007 said:welcome Steph...i know the stress of two shots a day :bang: , most of my first 366 was just that...a normal themed shot, then a self portrait :bonk:... hasn't left any lasting effect on me though...none..none at all...
still liking that glow in the sky..
BobBCN said:Welcome to the club!
Look forward to seeing more of your photos.
vince31 said:Steph put Day numbers on your shots Ie Day 1 and so on , helps folks give critique.
Lovely number one on day 2 but the tablets shot is a great colour but I think it would benefit from a tighter crop maybe....
Lovely work so far
MWHCVT said:Good to see that your going well I think that star long exposure is very nice
Thanks I think I'm slowly starting to get it. I'm going to try for a star trail shot tomorrow night...
The two for this thread are already done for today...
And I wanted to try something slightly different for this photo of bobby which basically involved waiting for him to head to his perch for the day.
I like the reflection in the glass, (though I wish I'd cleaned the glass again!!)
MWHCVT said:I've had that moment with glass why after you look at the shot on the computer you wish you'd cleaned it and today I'll be 675 shots in I'm hoping to do a star trail myself tonight if it stays clear
Other than the glass both of todays are great
drop me a message if you need any help
You may regret saying that!! But thank you!!
No chance of star trails tonight here, it's overcast and icky!!
MWHCVT said:I don't often regret things but we shall see
So, set up tripod and camera, focus to infinity (love saying that... "To infinity, and beyond..." Oops, childish mode off), remote shutter, make sure in camera denoising is off, set remote so it shoots continuously, set iso, leave and come back later... Did I miss anything?
I'm disappointed in myself for not getting anything done yesterday. It was a bad day.
MWHCVT said:Well it all depends focus to infinity if you don't have foreground interest, if however you have some foreground interest focus on that setting's wise it depends on the scene but it sounds like you have it
A POTD is real hard work that's why you need support I know I would not have made it to my 676th daily photo today without the support from TP

Day 5 Shot 1 by StephyB86, on Flickr
StephyB said:Ok cool, I'll remember that!
It really is!! I had a few moments last night and this morning thinking maybe I've bitten off more than I can chew, but I kicked myself again
MWHCVT said:Very nice great focus and DoF
Well I'm here you can rant or even try and pick my brains for ideas though the latter is not always the best idea as to keep at it this long I must be a little nuts
vince31 said:Some awesome shots Steph , i'm loving Day 3 shot 1 of the Butterfly a magical shot indeed.
Sorry guys, had a bad couple of weeks at home - I've still had the camera out but I should really update this thread!! I'll get onto that later today.
