Better month next month

This month has not beena  good month photography wise. I have not had much time to get anything done or uploaded at all.

It has not helped that I have not had much time to get on the computer and that I have not had much time to get the shots during the day as well as not seeing anything that has inspired me.

I think in the next few days I need to work on getting my project pictures edited and uploaded. I am planning on working on another project for this month so I need to get the pictures sorted tomorrow morning.

Returning enthusiasm

I have recently become really lethargic and have little enthusiasm for getting things done. I have been continuing to dop m,y photography project (though not uploading it onto Flickr) but I have had no energy to take pictures or even look at my photography magazines.

I think that this is due to my over eating chocolate recently. Today however I feel like my energy and enthusiasm is returning (I have started to drastically cut down on the chocolate that I have been eating - I only had two bars today)

I went to see my friend today and her new daughter looked so cute as she slept. I took lots of pictures of her and I really enjoyed taking the pictures.

Another thing I realized was that I have not been wanting to take pictures as I have not seen anything that I want to photograph.

Editing with new computer

My compute is still out of action so I am having to get used to editing with the laptop. It is not that good but I have been able to get by for now. I must find the disc so that I can fix my computer.

I have started a project today that will run for the next 30 days. I will take a picture of the same object for the next 30 days. I have not done one of these projects for a while and I think it will be fun to do.

This is what I will be taking a picture of every day for the next 30 days.

 

I also got a funky picture of the younglings when they were walking home. They all decided to hold hands. It was lovely to see.

 

 

Natural lighting

I will have to investigate the different ways that I can experiment with lighting toget different effects.

There is of course natural light (which I have best access to) I love being able to capture the suns rays.

I saw a tree branch covered in snow and I thought I would get a shot of the sunlight reflecting off it:

 

  

  

 

Experimenting with light

I think is is fun to experiment with lighting conditions.

I discovered that if I took a picture of a cooker burner then it looked like a blue flower to me. To take advantage of this I cannot use the flash. I think it is interesting to see the different shots are affected by light. I think I will have to experiment with different kinds of light. I like taking shots of the sunlight.

Here are some shots I took of the lamp in my kitchen. I prefer the black and white version.

 

 

More frost shots

I managed to edit a couple more shots from the frosty days.

Here is when the frost was beginning to thaw.

 

 

Thankfully...

The camera seems to be working fine and the pictures look pretty good. I have also noticed that the black spot also does not look so prominent.

I am just relieved that I did not make a big mess of my camera. I still need to give it a proper clean at some point but I know that I will still be able to get shots between now and then. I do not have a back up camera as I cannot find the Olympus at the moment.

Here is a cute shot I got of the younglings today:
