365 Project Update

14/365 – Looking to the ground or the sky?, originally uploaded by BBuiPhoto.

So far I’ve been able to take a picture every day. Some days when I’m just too busy or too lazy, I’ll use my iPhone. So far I’m pretty happy with the results and it’s getting me to really tune my composition and lighting skills.

So far I’ve made it 16 days, today being day 17. I have noticed that some days I can churn out an idea for a picture really quick, while other days it takes me much longer to get the lighting and composition the way I want it to. I’m not sure how I’m going to do this for another 349 days. It’s gonna be tough trying to come up with different concepts, but I’m up for the challenge. It’ll be interesting to see where it goes and I hope to print a book when the project is complete. I know it will turn out sick.

I’m starting to feel like I’m limited by some of the tools I have to create the images I want. But I figure that it’s just another challenge. If I can create the images I see in my mind w/ the limited tools I have, I can create even greater images when I can finally afford the tools that I would like. We will see.

You can follow the progress of the project at my Flickr site. I appreciate any comments or constructive criticism for any photo.

Here are a few of my favorites:

2/365 – Business on my mind., originally uploaded by BBuiPhoto.

This is one of the earlier photo’s that I took. It seems to be the one that everyone likes the most also. Mostly for the concept, and then some appreciate the lighting of it. I really like both, one of my best executed shots.

5/365 – Lost in Beauty., originally uploaded by BBuiPhoto.

This was from a shoot with Michi at some trails by my house. This was the first time doing a location shoot and It didn’t go as smooth as I had liked and some of the pictures didn’t come out as I had expected. It definitely was a learning experience. Bring a flashlight, double check all equipment before heading out, and have a helping hand. I had forgotten my wireless flash triggers, but I was lucky enough to have brought my off shoe mount cord (6 feet long). The pictures turned out pretty good, I really like this one, but next time I will definitely do things different.
