Watch how the final photo gets uploaded to the project365 website!
Getting excited now!
I have uploaded 364 photos for my project! Only today I still have to do…
Memorycard full
Today, when I shot the Wedding carriage, I tried lots of different variations. At one stage then I could only see this:
Another example for the most certain frustration of a photographer - to have missed an opportunuty for a good shot.
Skyscraper website →
While researching the Northpoint Tower in North Sydney I found today this great website for skyscrapers in general. It’ll help me to pinpoint my other skyscraper shots.
We’ll see
Today is one of these days: I set out to my morning commute to work - and I have no idea what kind of photo I want to take during the day…
My experience with this: Most of the time it all comes good: Some interesting photo opportunity will arise - and i’ll snap away happily, but today I have the feeling it might not be easy… We’ll see!
Wet and beautiful
Who would have though this: From all my attempts to get a gaudy impression of the flourishing jacarandas the rainy shot shows off the colors best!
Daylight saving starts
Yepee, the dark times since Daylight saving ended, are gone! With the start of Dayight saving i’ll get many more day-time photo opportunities! :-)
Nevertheless, today’s photo from the Milonga Para Los Ninos is taken indoors and way after day light hours in any case…
Lopsided…
Today’s shot is a first! This shot hits the project lopsided - the tripod was set up like this and i haven’t corrected it. - and somehow I saw the wharves like this, too…
In anticipation of our Cape Trib holidays I brought a new camera, the Lumix DMC-FT1, for underwater shots at the Barrier reef.
Panography - the 2nd
Finally I approached the panography again - and I think with more success than last time. This time I captured the scene at night and was thereby worried it white background for the panograph might not be appropriate, so I tried a black background as well, but no: white is the way to go!
Don’t tinker?
When preparing last weeks vertorama I needed to tinker with it quite a bit - after doing so, the follwing though crossed my mind: when I tinker with the photo of a specific day on another day then the day i took the photo, is this “piece of art” still from that day I took the source photos?
Extending on this i’m wondering whether a day-based project as mine would rather benefit from a “Don’t tinker” policy…
Daylight saving ended
Ooooh, the daylight saving change from Sunday is really getting at me! It changes the shooting opportunities during the work week completely: until now the prime time for photo shoots was my commute home, but now it’s nearly dark when i hit the road after work. So what will I do? Well, today I went for a night shot of the bridge.
project365 is not a diary
Today I have the choice of a lovely photo of a normal palm tree and a dull one showing the exciting MacBook I bought today. - Well, I go for the palm tree, because I think the general picture qualities rank higher than the photo’s connection to my life - as a diary i keep my tumblelog!
Today I have a serious decision crises: Two panoramic shots, one landscape panorama and a vertical one, both with lovely blue sky, both are shot outside, but everything else is different. Well, i chose the vertical one, Under the bluest Sky.
Panography
A few days ago I read about panography - and was captivated: layering multiple shots together is similar to the stiching I do for my wide panoramas and vertoramas. however it is somewhat looser in its appearance and maybe more honest, too: the resulting image does not hide the fact that it is a composite.
So today when I was starting to shoot skyscrapers on Essex Street I thought this is a great location for a panograph - and i snapped away lots of shots (19 in number) of the sky and its scrapers.
At home then when I put all the shots together hoping for a glorious huge composite, i had to realize that the individual shots where way to close to each other: So my first panograph is hopfully not my best one!
