And there we have me! I kept this one simple with the photoshop, though the temptation was there to airbrush the crap out of my face. I would have liked to use more lights to be honest, but one of my little flashes has started to malfunction. Let that be a lesson to those who buy cheap stuff from Hong Kong. Though ti be honest, the ebay seller is more than happy to replace the light, I just have to return the faulty one in it's original packaging, it's going to take some time to get back to me. Wish I'd spent the extra £20 and brought it from amazon.
So in this luna cycle what have I learned? I've learned that I can show more photo's as i've been so bad in the past of just snapping away and saving things to my harddrive never to be seen again. I've learned to focus more on composition and hold back on my itchy trigger finger. I've discovered that in a short space of time I can produce better results. I think i'm still miles away from having my own photographic style. I've learned the importance of backing up my harddrive and how useful that extended warranty can be. I've come to the understanding that I should only every attempt poetry as a comedic gesture. I can write. I must stop taking photo's, I need to make more photo's.
Although this is the end of my Photo A Day challenge, this is not the end of my blog. I'm looking forward to once a week posting a photo, which has had much more thought behind it than what i've, sometimes very, hastily composed this past month. I may even try my hand at reviewing camera equipment. I'll also be posting dSLR video footage too, though how and when has yet to be decided.
I hope you all have enjoyed my ramblings and my photography.
Stay tuned ya'll, this blog ain't going no place.

It's been a good read and good to see you try your hand at so many different compositions and scenes. As for coming up with your own photographic style, that's like 6 car makers trying to come up with their own version of a saloon. Some styles will vary lots from others, but does that actually make them likable or decent?
ReplyDeleteI say just go where your eye takes you, edit what your mind thinks right and let the results speak for themselves!
Oh and don't tell Lindsey I was looking intently at your face back there, especially the eyes!

ReplyDeleteThere, subliminal message planted.

I woke up this morning with this achy breaky head, for some reason I have this urge....to....hire you....
ReplyDeletelol was cool, maybe we can hook up and do some projects just for the hell of it at some point this year....well...I'll probably see you at the faery events anyway.
Now I feel like I must do something experimental with my camera and the every day objects and scenes around me!
