Day 223: Violet Hill Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph from an unusual point of view." I decided to try a *low* point of view today. This is a picture of some violets in a small bit of woodland. I’ve done a little bit of post-processing just to try…

Day 222: Church Symmetry Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Illustrate symmetry in a photograph today." I like the symmetry of the altar and windows here, taken at church this morning. It isn’t a classically attractive church, but it does have a certain charm I think 🙂

Day 221: Banana – Fair Trade Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph of a symbol today." I found this quite hard, because a symbol is more than just a logo. It’s meant to represent something. In the end I chose the Fair Trade logo: I think this symbolises trying…

Just a quick post to let you know that I’ve heard the results of my BAP (which I mentioned before). Anyway, I can confirm that they are happy to recommend me 🙂 I spoke to Stuart (the assistant DDO) today, and I will meet with him on Monday evening to go over the whole report.…

Day 220: Small blue flower Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: A small blue flower I saw today. No Daily Shoot because I didn’t particularly know how to illustrate attraction – I wanted to take a picture of the bees pollenating but couldn’t quite get a picture of one!

Day 219: Clementine Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot assignment: “Make a photograph dominated by the color orange today.” I’m afraid it’s a pretty boring photo today but… well, I haven’t done many like this so I thought I was probably due one!

Day 218: Barbed Wire Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot assignment: “Make a photograph that features metal or a metallic surface today.” I saw this old barbed wire and I had to take a picture. I don’t know exactly what kind of metal it’s made of, but I think it qualifies! You don’t see much…

Day 217: Duvet Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot assignment: “Make a photograph that illustrates being inside today.” Well, this is a photo of our duvet. I felt that some days I feel like I’m only ever inside (at home at least) for sleeping! – so this is pretty much all I get to see…

Thought it was about another time for a weekend style update, given that we’ve just had a weekend (I know! Coincidence or what!) Obviously last week was my BAP, which I won’t really go into in much detail. It seemed to go pretty well, although I won’t know the results until (hopefully) this week. I…

Day 216: Spring Branch Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot assignment: “Make a black and white photograph and go monochrome today.” This is some new growth on a tree I saw today. I think it works quite well in black and white.
