The 365 Project

The 365 Project in some form or other has been going on for a few years now. The object is to take and post a photograph every day for a whole year. Some people have themes, some people just share their everyday life, some people give themselves challenges and some people join groups like 365project.org. I've done the latter....they've got themes which I might join in on now and then, but I'll mostly be challenging myself.

This was my first photo for my 365 project which I posted yesterday:

My new best friend

This photo was taken with a Canon EOS 5D MII DSLR with a Canon 16-35mm f2.8 lens at 16mm and f11. The ISO was 100 as it was a beautiful sunny day! The shutter speed was 1/80th of a second. Hand held and quite close! Love this lens. :-)

And this is my second photo for my 365 project which I posted today:

Mike

This photo was taken with a Canon 5D m2 and my nifty fifty! That's a Canon 50mm f1.4 lens. Well a nifty fifty is any 50mm lens. Camera settings were ISO 640, f1.4 at 1/30th of a second hand held but resting on table. Setting was a dark room on a black wooden table with a black art case propped in the background. Light source was a small torch that is in the form of a flood light on a tripod. Light was set off to the right, just behind and aiming towards the subject.

OK, so no theme going here, two totally different photographs. My only theme will probably be to try and be creative. Actually, I've done good to make two post in a row! I'm not very good at sticking with things like this as I can get quite busy and I'm easily side tracked. :-) I am going to see how long I can keep this up though....wonder if I'll make it through to the end. Watch this space. :-D

I won't make a blog post about this every day, I'll save them up and post several at a time, unless I'm really excited about a photo, then it might get it's own separate blog post. ;-)

You can find my 365project.org page by following this link.

If you are also doing a 365 project of your own let me know and I'll check it out and include a link in my next 365 blog post.

Happy snapping!
