Howdy folks! Kiwikat and I have started our first Project 365! You can follow the blog here: www.ktproject2010.wordpress.com or you can follow us over at POTN in the General Discussion forum, Project 365 thread!

Anyway, we are excited to be doing this with each other and we want to share it to you guys! Feel free to post your own personal 365 photos here if you want! So this shot I took getting coffee in the morning. I liked the cast of light and shadow on the cup from the sun. Processed in Photoshop CS4. Edited curves, sharpness, crop, added black and white layer, selective coloring, and adjusted layer opacity. It's the best I could muster up today. Sunday, February 14th, 2010. Project 365. Day 4:

Thanks for listening! You can also view all of my shots and follow this Project 365 series at www.flickr.com/tracon! We hope you will follow us in this journey.

Go ahead and show me the work you've been doing on your own 365! We can all use the photos for inspiration and motivation.

Cheers.

Tracon~ http://www.tiptopglobe.com/skin/smile/s12627.gif (http://www.tiptopglobe.com/free-smiles-smileys-emoticons-blog-forum-email)

Thank you so much for posting the link to your and Kiwikat's Project 365 Blog! I really enjoyed reading the adventures and of course, looking at the pictures.
Prior to clicking on the link, I was about to post a question, asking you if the coffee was from Starbucks. And of course, I got my answer when I started reading your blog.

I fell in love with your "Sky from a walk" picture. Perfect desktop background! Thank you!

William~ I, for one, am anxiously waiting for Spring, so I can see more of your flower pictures. "The Rose" one is so beautiful! The colors are rich and vibrant.

I need to get out there and take more pictures- life just gets in the way you know!

Seriously, http://www.tiptopglobe.com/skin/smile/s10034.gif (http://www.tiptopglobe.com/free-smiles-smileys-emoticons-blog-forum-email)for sharing your passion with all of us. It inspires me to go ahead and get "clicking & snapping". http://www.tiptopglobe.com/skin/smile/s1606.gif (http://www.tiptopglobe.com/free-smiles-smileys-emoticons-blog-forum-email)

Anyone who follows our blog will immediately notice that Cameron and I have completely different shooting styles. His style is a bit more artistic while mine is focused more on the subject material. He is a street photographer while I focus on nature and macro. I think it creates an interesting pair of images, each with their own strengths and weaknesses.

I hope to learn a lot about photography and myself from this project.


Thanks for checking it out C9G! :wavey:

Cloud9Gal, thanks! It was a Caramel Macchiato. Delicious.

I'm thrilled you enjoy that sky picture. It was more a test for Wordpress, but I guess it turned out OK.

Honestly we're all inspired. William and I have great conversations about photography and every morning I wake up with the urge to go out and shoot. It's not too late to get back out in the field..

Let us know if you have any questions, and feel free to post some shots

Thanks for motivating me, cheers.

2010-2011 Project 365. Day 5.

Bicycle seat in my dad's garage. I didn't get out very much today so this is the best I can show you. I seriously need to step up my creativity game if I want to last much longer.

Photoshop CS4 adjustments to Curves, contrast, black and white layer added, vignette added and cropped.

Yesterday's shot was my favorite so far...

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2729/4381191348_02f50b18e7_o.jpg

I'm absolutely loving my 100mm macro lens. It is by far the most fun I've had with my camera so far.

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't given any update in here, I just didn't want to flood the forum. We're still going strong! Although I technically missed two days, but I made em up the next day.


2010-2011 Project 365. Day 13

A new very cool cross processing technique I've learned in Adobe Photoshop CS4. It creates a very interesting result found on bleached and chemically cross processed 35mm film images. I hope you like it.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2720/4382234531_1f4b8300ba_o.jpg

It might be overdone, but I can refine that. It's a cool retro look I think...

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Henry. It's a beautiful thing, photography. Everybody has a different style. Of course beauty really is in the eyes of the beholder so no two forms are quite the same. I sort of have a mash up of forms but this project will really help me grow behind the camera and develop that style that sets me apart.

William and I talk every day and the topic of conversation rarely strays from photography, flying, or computers. He loves photography for the techy stuff. He loves the challenge. I just love making art. I'm a very hands-on kinda guy so taking pictures is a release.

We hope you will check us out at the blog, Henry. The link should be somewhere in the first post.

Right on! Keep shootin!

PS: how do you install a full size pic ??

Ya need a web photo host that excepts full size images LD. I use Photobucket, but even they allow only up to 1600-pixel width. My native resolution is 1920-pixel width. My camera cvan shoot an image that is 3000-pixels wide. So it's a give and take. Most people want an image that fills the screen, but this is hard. Those stuck with old CRT monitors usually have no larger a screen than 1024-pixel width, thus viewing larger images makes them have to scroll.

Excellent pix LD, you did kill the copperhead, non. I like snakes, allow all around my abode but the poisonous ones. Shot a CH in my BY last September. I once had a black snake that lived in the crawl space under my home for 5 years, don't know what happened to it. It had a hole to come and go as it pleases and overstayed in Winter, usually hibernating on one of the insulated heat ducts. Never once saw a rat while it was here, better than I can say about all these worthless felines laying about right now. I see ya got some butterfly bushes, great things butterflies, love 'em, always have. Floating flowers.

I adjusted the contrast and sharpness and converted to black and white, no infra red. However the sky was such a deep dark blue and the fluffy tails on the plants were reflecting so much light that the image just started glowing after my edits. I'm pleased with the results. Thank you Panther!
