Project 365

I'm sure some people reading this will already know, but I made one of my New Year resolutions for 2010 that I would try and complete a Project 365.

This requires me to take (at least) one photo every day of the year.

Some people set themselves specific restrictions for their Project 365, such as it comprising entirely of self portraits, but I've decided that as this is my first time I don't want to set myself additional challenges.

I've set up a separate photography calendar where you can follow my entries for the duration of the project. You can also follow me on Twitter.

Many of the photos will be from projects I am working on, or from shoots I have held or been involved with. However I also want to push myself to learn new skills. So you are likely to find me using the project to do quite a bit of experimentation - a lot of which probably won't work.

Don't expect every shot to be a masterpiece. It isn't easy to think of a new concept every day, and there will be some days where I will probably struggle to find the time to take a shot.

A Prickly Subject

A macro shot with a very tight point of focus. The shot was taken indoors using natural light from a window. For added contrast the picture was taken against a red background.

Exercise in Colour - Part 1

This was an exercise in using contrasting colours to create an image with impact.

Hopefully this composition draws the eye into the flower and then along the stamen

Bishop

A black and white conversion of a macro shot focusing on a Bishop chess piece.

This chess set was actually made by my father when I was a boy. Each of the pieces were made from pouring resin into molds. Felt was then glued to the underside of each piece.
