Day 172: Roman Tiling Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment is: “Tell the story of a subject today in a photograph by photographing one specific detail of it.” Well I’m not sure if I succeeded in that exactly, but this is a shot of an old Roman Villa in Castle Park, Colchester, It…

Day 171: Sheet Music Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot assignment is: “Sometimes what’s out of focus can make the shot. Create a photograph today where some/all of your subject isn’t in focus.” I was picking out some music for our youth group music practice later, and thought this might make a nice shot. I’ve…

Day 170: Bunch of flowers Originally uploaded by phillsacre Today’s Daily Shoot challenge was “Change your point of view. Make a photograph from an unusual point of view today.” Well, unfortunately this photo probably looks a lot more pedestrian than it was to take. I had to stand on a chair to get it (the…

Day 169: River Originally uploaded by phillsacre Today’s Daily Shoot assignment is “Make a photograph that features a leading line through it today. Draw the viewers eye through the image.” I thought a river might fulfil that criteria – the lines of the river draw your eye into the distance!

I’ve been a bit lax in updating recently. Unfortunately I’ve not been well: I had a cold Tuesday and Wednesday last week, and again today! I think this was mainly because I went back to work before I felt completely better, and probably overdid it at the weekend as well. Speaking of the weekend… On…

Day 168: Preparing for spring Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot assignment today was “Illustrate preparedness in a photograph”. I hope this photo manages to illustrate preparing for spring: bits of old growth need to be trimmed off, which is what’s going on in the foreground, and in the background you can see some…

Day 167: Living room door… Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot challenge today is: “Use a window or a door as a frame for your subject today in a photograph.” Well I’m not sure this quite fulfils that, but it’s a view from our hallway into the living room. I think it looks pretty…

Day 166: Wallpoint Originally uploaded by phillsacre Today’s Daily Shoot assignment: “Power plugs are ubiquitous. Can you make a creative photo of such a common thing?” Well, this is the end result today. Black and white seemed to be the natural choice to me.

Day 165: Abstract Colour Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot challenge was: “Go abstract today and make a photograph that focuses on form and color rather than detail.” I think this qualifies as abstract, not sure how good it is though! It’s the candle on a dinner table at a pub we went to…

Day 164: Rock and Tree Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot challenge today was “Create a photo that gives a sense of depth or dimension.” What I was aiming for with this picture was a sense of depth, i.e. the rock close up, the tree further away, the horizon… just my take on it…
