Day 159: Piano Keys Originally uploaded by phillsacre I’ve been on a bit of a black and white thing the past week or so! The Daily Shoot challenge today is: “Make a photograph using hard light today. Feature the crisp and strong shadows as a major element of your photograph.” I was using a lamp…

Day 158: Phone Keypad Originally uploaded by phillsacre Today’s Daily Shoot assignment: ‘Make a photograph that illustrates an aspect of communication.’ Well, I think the telephone is an aspect of communication, so to speak! Think this shot turned out surprisingly well, and I think it works better in black and white.

Day 157: Red Berries Revisited Originally uploaded by phillsacre Daily Shoot theme today is simply red (should have done a photo on the theme of ‘If you don’t know me by now’ but still…) Anyway, this is a cluster of lots of red berries. I tried to use a wider aperture so that the berries…

Day 156: Gas Cylinder Originally uploaded by phillsacre In some scrubland near where I work someone has dumped a load of old gas cylinders. I don’t really know why. I just wanted to illustrate the difference between the lushness and green of the background, and the ugliness of the tank! Plus, the daily shoot today…

Day 155: Centre of Attention Originally uploaded by phillsacre Today’s Daily Shoot assignment: ‘Make a photograph today with a central point of interest in it.’ Not sure if this is exactly what they had in mind but here’s my attempt anyway!

Day 154: Attraction Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot subject today was to make a photo which illustrated attraction. I think this photo does that (well, to an extent, I guess the bird could be attached to the radiator by blu-tac or something), although I’m not sure about it as a photo to be…

This weekend was the fourth annual Colchester CAMRA Winter Beer Festival. I’m sure it won’t be much of a surprise to learn that we were there on Saturday afternoon! We met up with Alex and Tom, and then Dan and Alison joined us a bit later on. It was a great afternoon, I think I…

Day 150: Stalk Originally uploaded by phillsacre I know this is another B&W, but the Daily Shoot was basically make a monochrome photograph today. And I don’t think I shoot in B&W enough anyway! I think this one works well like that. Anyway. Today is my 150th Project 365 photo! I know there’s still an…

Day 149: Twigs and Leaves Originally uploaded by phillsacre The theme of the daily shoot today was “Make a photograph from a low point of view”. This was taken pretty low and I think it came out quite well. I’ve processed it a little to add the sepia effect.

Day 148: Fence and Path Originally uploaded by phillsacre The Daily Shoot theme today was “make a photograph featuring a path, road or trail that leads the eye through the photograph.” This is what I came up with. I would have preferred a ‘windy’ path from more of a distance but I think this works…
