Photo365 – Day 191 – shaving

This picture is dedicated to one of the true genius of ePHOTOzine – Warb. He did a version of this back in 2005 called Sunday Shave and I gave it an EC. I decided to recreate it. I don’t think I’ve done as well, but I’m pleased with what I got. It took quite a long time to get the light, water depth, focus and distance right, but I got there in the end. Mine is quite static and staged whereas Warb’s really looks like it’s taken in a bathroom in real time.

It’s taken using the Olympus EP2 and 14-42mm zoom.

Photo365 – Day 190 – trainers

I went out on a cycling to Clumber this afternoon with the purpose of playing with the Photosynth app of the iPhone. I took a detour from the normal track through a more dense woodland area. It was quiet and quite spooky, especially when I came to these trainers placed eerily in the centre of the path. So I grabbed a shot with the Hipstamatic.

Photo365 – Day 189 – blue soap

Part five of my seven part rainbow series within my photo365 project brings me to the colour blue. A bar of blue soap on a blue towel taken with the Pentax K5 and 16-45mm zoom. The illumination is a ringlight which gives a soft shadow around the subject.

Photo365 – Day 188 – green

Part four of my rainbow theme within the photo365 project is Green. You can’t fail with nature. Here’s the bud of a flower still looking green against a background of leaves. It’s taken with the Pentax K5 and 100mm macro lens.

Photo365 – Day 187 – natural filter

On what will probably be my next to last poppy shot I decided to position the camera so that a poppy head was filtered by a foreground poppy petal.

The long lens (500mm Tamron) has thrown the front petal totally out of focus resulting in a colour cast over the entire photo but no detail. So the background focused poppy head is sharp with a colour wash over the top.

Cokin used to sell a filter that had a colour effect similar to this so I’m pleased with the natural (free) result.

Photo365 – Day 186 – Yellow

The third in my rainbow colour series following on from red and orange is yellow. An abstract shot of a patio umbrella taken through a patterned glass pane in a kitchen door.

I’ve always been fascinated with how patterned glass distorts shapes, in this case the focus is on the glass itself and the umbrella behind just provides the colour needed for the theme. It’s an abstract with detail in the imperfections in the glass.

Photo365 – Day 185 – interuption

I was taking some photos of the yellow lines on a rotary washing drier for my rainbow colour theme for the Photo365 project and this female blackbird came and sat on the edge. Unprepared and interrupted I got a few snaps. I was using a mirror lens so you can see the doughnut style catchlights in the out of focus background. It turns out I’d interrupted her as she was waiting for me to go so she could continue picking flying ants from the patio to feed to her young.

Photo365 – Day 184 – car boot candid

I went to a car boot sale this morning looking for old items for steam punk props. When I’d finished i took a few sneaky hipstamatic Up close candids. Four or five of my candids where actually looking right into the lens of the camera. I think they knew what I was doing, even though I though I was being discreet.

Photo365 – Day 182 – Orange

In my rainbow series my second shot is orange…and there’s nothing more orange than an orange! And to show that you don’t need expensive props the background is a bog standard Sainsbury’s plastic shopping bag.
No expenses spared on this one. I hope it inspires you to shoot simple pics.
It’s taken with the Pentax K5 and 16-45mm zoom.
