Biscuits 2012 365

Biscuit761 · 01-01-2012, 10:38 PM

Have decided to have a go at this 365 lark. Went into Colchester this afternoon, expecting it to be busy - er, no !

So here is No 1 of my 365

1st Jan 2012

Like it!

...but as 2012 is a leap year, should it be No.1 of 366?

Good luck!

Darren

Liquid101 · 01-01-2012, 10:47 PM

Good luck, Bill. It's hard work, especially when you've had a hard day at work and no time to think about it.

Just remember to take your camera with you everywhere, and dont be afraid to use a compact occasionally - I used 6 different cameras by the end of my year.

Biscuit761 · 01-01-2012, 11:37 PM

Thanks to both, 366 Noooo ! what have I done !

Cheers Liquid, at worst case I always have my iPhone 3G with its mighty 2meg camera :-)

Onwards and upwards as they say.

Good luck.... I reckon this could take about a year though

What about a shot of the month each month?? As a bonus you will end up with 12 good shots for making a calendar

Biscuit761 · 02-01-2012, 10:19 PM

Jan 2nd 2012 - must be the next picture.

Was out tonight taking photo's of the towns Christmas lights before they come down next week and got this, its a clock over a jewellery store and I have always admired it, so a fitting inclusion into the set

shotokan101 · 03-01-2012, 2:07 PM

Good luck Bill - enjoying them so far

Jim

Biscuit761 · 03-01-2012, 10:02 PM

Jan 3rd 2012, day 3. 362 - no 363 to go !

Today was first day back at work, the desk tidy angels forgot to come and see my desk while I was away - naughty angels

2012-01-03 at 17-03-26 by Biscuit761, on Flickr

I work and a sign and graphics company, thats why there are vinyl, perspex and RAL swatches lying around. No special arrangement, just take it as it comes.

Had three lightweight flash stands arrive today from ebay, £10 each, exceeded expectations by a fair way.

Bill

shotokan101 · 03-01-2012, 10:12 PM

Looks pretty tidy to me Bill

Biscuit761 · 04-01-2012, 9:49 PM

Day 4, Jan 4th 2012

A nice sunrise across the churchyard, just over the road from my house

2012-01-04 at 08-12-54 by Biscuit761, on Flickr

What do we do tomorrow ?

Bill

Biscuit761 · 05-01-2012, 10:33 PM

Day 5 of the 366, Jan 5th 2012

Went to camera club tonight, lovely old church hall, was early so the lights were still on

2012-01-05 at 19-36-07 by Biscuit761, on Flickr

Have completion with a Flickr friend, she is doing well. Will have to up my game.

Bill

shotokan101 · 06-01-2012, 12:47 AM

I do like that Bill

Biscuit761 · 06-01-2012, 11:30 PM

Day 6 / 366
Jan 6th 2012, went to Ikea Lakeside to look at kitchens and storage, bought huge plate of meatballs - luverly !

2012-01-06 at 21-19-28 by Biscuit761, on Flickr

Macro tomorrow !

Bill

Biscuit761 · 07-01-2012, 11:10 PM

Day 7 of 366 - 1 week !!

Set up a small studio at home today with 3 flashes, brollies and a curved white back drop.

Took some portrait tests but also, as I was using my new 90mm Tamron macro lens did some small stuff - here is a row of jelly beans to get the taste buds going.

2012-01-07 at 20-35-56 by Biscuit761, on Flickr

Wonder what tomorrow will bring

Bill

shotokan101 · 07-01-2012, 11:12 PM

Still loving them Bill - BTW - what you gonna do about Day 366 ?

Biscuit761 · 08-01-2012, 7:31 PM

Jim, I am sure I will find one, nothing about this is planned

Day 8 of 366, Janet was once again happy to pose for me to try something else out so only fitting she is in the set

2012-01-08 at 09-47-10 by Biscuit761, on Flickr

Keep looking

Bill

Biscuit761 · 09-01-2012, 10:04 PM

Day 9 of 366

Tried another small scale shot of a painted mug we recently bought at Lavenham, its by a lady called Pru Green who works out of Wivenhoe near Colchester.

2012-01-09 at 20-47-19 by Biscuit761, on Flickr

Normally has a few cut flowers in (its only a few inches high).

Takes me back to the "Wivenhoe Run" pub crawling days when I was at Essex Uni all those years ago....

Nice shots by the way

Nice one - the shadow really makes the composition for me Bill

Jim

Biscuit761 · 10-01-2012, 11:33 PM

Thanks for the last few comments

10/366, 10th Jan 2012

A 4" high model of the Eiffel Tower, lit from one point to give a decent shadow line, just playing with the light really, nothing to serious today.

2012-01-10 at 20-58-08 by Biscuit761, on Flickr

Will try to do better tomorrow.

Bill

Biscuit761 · 11-01-2012, 9:55 PM

11/366

11th Jan 2012

First shot of the day, with the camera and of coffee !

Hardly sure what I was pointing at but it seemed to work, probably a bit tight on the kettle but quite like it.

2012-01-11 at 07-06-00 by Biscuit761, on Flickr

Had a plan for today but left work a bit late - did you hear on the radio the other day, its estimated that the amount of "free" overtime the British do each year would add up to another million jobs ....

Bill

Sheepking · 12-01-2012, 12:04 AM

Liking the noisy kettle one. There is something about it.

Biscuit761 · 12-01-2012, 11:35 PM

12/366

12/1/12

My iMac keyboard, shot via the Tamron 90mm Macro at ISO 4000, bit of jiggery pokery, you may notice

2012-01-12 at 22-59-43 by Biscuit761, on Flickr

Bill

shotokan101 · 13-01-2012, 12:18 AM

LOL - cool Bill

JIm

Biscuit761 · 13-01-2012, 1:00 AM

Chris Evans was going on about today's date being a good one for sound engineers , 1 12 1 12

That was what gave me the idea, plus a bit of desperation :-)

Bill

Biscuit761 · 14-01-2012, 12:07 AM

13th Jan 2012

PAD continues, had a very nice meal in Prezzo's Colchester today, there was a little container with a candle on it flickering away

2012-01-13 at 18-43-05 by Biscuit761, on Flickr

See you all tomorrow.

RajP · 14-01-2012, 5:44 AM
