Last Week of November

Day 113 – Mon 21^st Nov – Sunrise 

I only took two photo’s today and once again that was of sunrise on my way to work – whoops took two sunrise photo’s within the last week - at least they are different aspects & locations.  The first was taken in Gosford, this one in St Leonards.

Day 114 – Tues 22^nd Nov – Disco Decorations

It's nearly Xmas and noticed these shop decorations on my way home.  Everyone who knows me knows I love a disco ball so I couldn’t resist – they were taken with my phone hence the not so great quality – I love the daggy old fashioned ribbon and token gum nuts that they have paired with this!

Day 115 – Wed 23^rd Nov - Buttons & Sequins

Once again it got til quite late in the day before I remembered to take a photo.  I had seen on a blog post today people using buttons to spell out words so I gave this a go, but wasn’t really happy with the result – I did however like all my colourful button and sequin jars lined up so I decided to shoot them instead

Day 116 – Thurs 24^th Nov - Reflection 

We were sitting in our education/ lunch room at work today and I noticed that you could see the new hospital being built in the reflection of the building opposite – I thought it looked pretty cool so that is why I chose it for today’s subject.  I like that you can see the crane and the colours of the new building. 

Nearly Caught Up (not!)

Day 106 - 14th November 11 -  Dinner

I was going to include a photo of dinner tonight as one of the challenges I have set myself is to improve my food photography, however once I looked through my photo's I liked this better - just wish it would rotate properly.  This is my garage - I like the contrast between the wood and sandstone with the flowers in between

 

Day 107 - 15th Nov 11 - Oyster Rocks

I have started a group training session down by the water each Tuesday night which I am loving - I'm back into my boxing and I'm heaps fitter than I thought I was which is a good thing.  Tonight I took the camera down to training to try and get some shot's around the water.  I'll probably try and do this a bit as Brisbane Waters is such a beautiful place at sunset.  I took a few Bokeh photo's but I decided I like these rocks better.














Day 108 - 16th Nov 11 - Stormy Sunrise

Took a few more bokeh photo's today and am starting to get the hang of the concept but still not happy enough to post a photo and I really like the leaves in this photo - it was taken on my way to the station at around 6.15am - a storm was coming over the mountain and I thought the clouds looked cool.






Day 109 - 17th Nov 11 - Trees

I saw these paperbark trees on the way to work and thought they would provide great inspiration so on my way home I stopped and took a few shot's - it was pouring rain and I had heaps of work equipment so I'm pleased that they are not all blurry!!  I actually took more than a few and it was hard to decide which one I liked best - but I love love love this photo - the colour, the peeling shapes.




Day 110 - 18th Nov 11 - Self Portraits

Didn't really know what to take today as I worked in Gosford and it was a full on day, then I went shopping and home to cook yummy food and relax.  I got this mirror from work yesterday and plan to paint it and hang it so I thought I would take a self portrait and play with a few of the app's on my phone. I decided to make a collage of the different photos. 

Week 10!!

Wow - it's been 10 weeks since I started this crazy project and whilst I love doing this - it really is a crazy project!!!  But I am still succeeding in taking a daily photo which is brilliant!.  Sometimes it is really hard though and often I get home and start stressing about the fact that I haven't taken a photo yet for the day and have to create something - but at least i'm still going.

Monday 10th Oct - Day 71 - Sequins

Today was a bit disappointing - I took some self portraits at dance but they just didn't work out the way I wanted - we had a dress rehearsal in our feathers and we didn't have much time so taking the photo was all a bit rushed and I cut one of the girls heads out!  So I then had to get creative when I got home (at 9.00pm) - my next subject for the Photo 5 comp is Sequins in Low Light so I thought I would start experimenting tonight - I have decided I am going to make a sequin glitter ball and hopefully light it with glow sticks - that's the plan.   I have started sticking the sequins onto a paper lantern - but I thought I would test out how dark it has to be to take the style of photo I want, the sequin ball photos aren't quite up to scratch yet so I took some others instead.  This is just a bunch of sequins lit by the TV - pretty cool hey - will be interesting to see if my actual concept works or if I just end up using this photo for the comp.

 

Tuesday 11 Oct - Day 72 - Texture

I worked on the coast today so finished early which was great - I decided to head down to a different part of Brisbane Waters to go for a walk along the water and went seeking out this boat storage area.  There is a park that has about about 20-30 tinnies stored up against these posts and this was my favourite boat.  I like the texture in this photo and how it shows the wear and tear and love of this boat.

Wednesday 12th Oct - Day 73 - Sydney

We had a conference in the city today which was a nice change, after the conference finished one of the girls needed to do some shopping so we headed up to Pitt St Mall.  This was taken looking directly up - I love the angles of it - pity it was a cloudy/ raining day - but I love all the different types of buildings in this photo. 

Thursday 13th Oct - Day 74 - Sunrise

The sunrise was spectacular this morning and as I wasn't running too late for my train - I ducked down to ny local park and took this on my way to the station.  It's the only photo I took today as I got busy and forgot the rest of the day - so it will have to do. 


Hope you've all had a lovely week
