View Full Version : My first 365 - 2009
Week 28.
Belated entry from last week again as I keep losing track of what day of the week it is :o
Yet another foot picture, this time with the new cast. It's lighter (yay) but it's harder so it digs into the back of my knee more which is sore. Plus I've got less support overall so my foot's hurting more than before! Still, hopefully around this time next month I'll be walking again *crosses fingers*

Sooooooooo sweet!
Am just hijacking the thread to post a few pics, because I took them on holiday and am quite proud of them. I was sat on my sunbed in Mexico, nice and early before the pumps got turned on in the pool, and before anyone got in it.

WWOOOOWWWW!!!! I so didnt realise they did that!!
Im gonna work on collecting the lot! :D
I thought there must have been some sort of pattern...thanks for that post, it has truly amazed me!!!
That's excellent vix :D I didn't realise what the pattern made either, looks great :)
Week 30
Mine's yet another filler picture. Really lost my photo taking urge since doing my foot in :( Hoping it comes back once I'm walking again. But I refuse to let this stop me achieve a full 52 so I'm cracking on just with mediocre pictures. So here's my foot in its 'mobile' guise now I can put weight on it. Exciting I know :p

Coin nerd here, first thing I did was collect the set. I also have a big piggy bank full of all the different £2 coin designs. :o
(in all seriousness if anyone ever finds unusual designs on coins, please shout me, I will swap the same amount of money for one)
Vix, where is that necklace from? I needs to get me one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Vix, where is that necklace from? I needs to get me one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
The leafy one with the bird? Came from Next I think.
Can't believe how many people didn't know about the designs on the new coins. The new £1 has the full design on it too.
Thanks Phil, Ill have to take a look :)
Can't believe how many people didn't know about the designs on the new coins. The new £1 has the full design on it too.
I used to have to count the money from our print credit machines at the uni. After the ones, twos and fives had been released I kept looking out for the others, as they were staggered. Took bloody months for the final one to come out!
As I work as a cashier, I see loads of unusual coins and do consider collecting them, but it looks a bit dodgy if I start swapping money into my purse!
It took ages to find the 50p and I haven't found the £1 yet.
27th August - a saurus, yeah I didn't go anywhere today so had to scrounge the house for interesting stuff!

Some lovely pics there Vix... I know nothing about photography but I can see a difference in the pics now compared to the ones at the start.. you seem to be really getting the hang of it :)
Aww thanks :) Sometimes I could spend longer post processing the shots too but I get impatient and just want to post the pics!!
7th September - Nexy's dirty engine bay makes Phil cross when he's trying to work on it!
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/0709.jpg
Week 31
I was rather lucky that the first review game I'd arranged myself (as I'm now dealing with the PR contact side of things as well as writing) happened to also be the biggest game of the year so far! Got lucky getting a copy as they were in limited supply but this arrived a week before it went retail. :)
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/august5.jpg
Week 32
Not so lucky compared to last week's. My foot's not healing but it's now castless as the Doctor is hoping that this will encourage my foot to get a grip and start healing! As you can see, it's rather swollen and still very bruised. :(
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/september1.jpg
Nice one about the game Jen, hope it leads to bigger and better things!
Your foot is certainly as swollen as mine was, it must be so painful and annoying!!
8th Sept - Scared to display it in case an angry mob comes round with stakes. Steaks are welcome however.

Finally an update from me :o
And sorry vix for not commenting, you're really improving in leaps and bounds! :)
Hopefully when my enthusiasm has returned and I'm more mobile, I'll manage to improve a bit :D
Week 33
Harry's a faithful 'little' cat. Everytime I have to shuffle up or down the stairs, he always appears from wherever he's been sleeping and joins me. So I thought I'd take a quick snapshot of him while I was at his level for once!
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/september2.jpg
Week 34
See that quote in the top left hand corner of the advert? That's me, that is :D It was published in Edge magazine as well as the Official Xbox 360 magazine, both pretty major titles, so it made my day to see :)
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/september3.jpg
nice one Jen! Goggles used to come and 'help' when I had to crawl around the place. They do like it when you are at their level :D
And thanks for your comments on my pics :) Not sure how the last few days will look as I'm rushed at the mo but will see when I have a spare min.
Yeah he still seems so excited to see me at his level which is very cute of him :D

http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/0410.jpg
Argh! I've done that everywhere!!
Cheers :)
Some great shots in here :) Vix, I can see SUCH a difference in when you started to now. You should be really proud of yourself. Am hoping Tinkerbell will come and post some of her recent shots, she's also come on in leaps and bounds.
After processing some of the pics from holiday, when I had chance to spend some time with my camera, I can finally see some level of improvement in the quality of my photos from the beginning of the year. Although people have told me they can see it, I haven't seen it for myself before, so I'm feeling quite pleased. Really is just a case of having a bit more time to devote to it.
Some recent ones from meeeeee that I thought I'd share from my 365...(mostly flowers at the moment!)
130909 : Conkers! (I think the one on the left is Mummy conker ;))

This!
(as are yours Kitten, and Jen you've come on loads as well, plus Jaimes holiday pics were fab)
*hopes shes not missed anyone*
here's one from yesterday. I'm *quite* pleased with it, but I wish it was better, more clear. I've seen some of Kate's macro bugs and I feel completely inferior posting this, but it's where I'm at at the moment. Not too bad for a first time I don't think. I was standing on a chair and holding the lens at arms length, which I suppose is reason enough for a little wibble :D
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c369/wilko1974/mantis3.jpg
Nah I haven't come on loads, I might have if I'd had a summer of being able to get out and about to try out the new camera but as it is I haven't. Still, once I can walk out and about again I'll go back to it :D
For now I just cringe at my iPhone shots but feel pleased that at least I haven't given up :p
Must update soon, been too busy to sort things out this week :s
I like the Mantis shot kitten :) And excellent dragon vix :D
You've stuck with it Jen, that's something to be really proud of, especially with all you've had on :)

I think the b&w one is incredible, I've already left a comment saying so! I wish you knew those people so you could send them those photos, I'm sure they'd love them. I think we're both lucky - we're female, so we can generally take these shots without people getting suspicious. Not fair, but how it is unfortunately.
I'm seriously impressed with some of your recent shots Jaime, really I am. I think the perspective and composition is brilliant. You told me you don't feel you have an eye for a good photo, or don't know when to take them, and i've got to say, looking at these pics, I'm sorry but that's bollocks! You've got a great eye and you take photographs that look really different. I <3 the balloon shot, and funnily enough you've chosen some of my favourites too. I love the amphitheatre, the pillar and the symmetry on the roof one. The brick wall is really good too, I'll be honest, I have no idea why, but it's very appealing.
Well done kiddo, and keep it up, you're doing BRILLIANTLY!
Looking great Jaime! I always thought you had a good eye for a shot when I've been at motorsport stuff with you.
8th Oct - I've been looking after this kitty today. It's a prize from a charity - pay a quid and guess the name. I hope I win, I love it. Did good at raising money too :)

I thought you'd made that, Vix!
I think it would have cost me less than I paid to make it, but I was in a shop at the time and saw it :D
I was going to ask you to do me one :D
Playing catch up at last!
Week 35
I love writing about games, especially when I get paid for some of it. But I have had quite a lot to do of late! Luckily the backlog has been cleared and I've cut back on what I do now.
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/september4.jpg
Week 36
The foot of the hour! ;) Finally it is knitting, doesn't stop it being swollen though. Since taking that photo, it now looks more bruised as even after 3 months, it managed to find more reason to bruise!
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/oct1.jpg
Week 37
It's my birthday! Might not have been able to go out and celebrate easily, but I was rather spoilt :D
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/oct2.jpg
On a side note, I'm down to one crutch now around the house so hopefully I'll be able to dig out the good camera and not end up with such noise-infested shots in the coming days for next week's shot!
Glad you're on the one crutch now Jen, and wow at all the pressies!!
12th October - time is running out for the cockroach....

Been to Anglesey for the weekend. I really wish we'd have had more time there as it's an amazing part of the country. It's also a bit difficult to pitch up at the side of the road when you're dragging a race car behind you so I missed loads of good pics.

2nd November - I was told about 2 hours ago that a fibreglass spitfire was going to pass close to the house (by road!), escorted by police and Lotus Evoras.
Unfortunately, it all passed too close to get the convoy, but here is the main bit of the plane!

I'm 99% sure I've got this numbered wrong now but guess we'll see at the end of the year :p Just counted the photos though and there are the correct number of photos at least. :) Hopefully next year will go smoother :D
3rd week of October
Slightly art (well TV) imitating life considering I've spent lots of time watching a grumpy person with a stick but I've become hooked on House :D Don't usually get very hooked on much TV but I'm enjoying ploughing through the boxsets!

4th week of October
Thanks to slightly better mobility, I could finally go back to the Uplands Diner, a great cafe popular with students and locals that do delicious breakfasts that aren't greasy :D Bit of a cheat photo as it's two shots put together but I couldn't decide which one to use.

5th week of October (sort of, told you numbering's messed up, too lazy to sort it out and I started on a Tuesday I think anyway :p)
I might be dreading the forthcoming season again but I do love these biscuits being available again, nom :D

Yummy breakfasts!
3rd November - my new raf gets aquainted with his family.

Excuse the manky theme, I never did finish the proper one I was working on ;D
2nd November - I was told about 2 hours ago that a fibreglass spitfire was going to pass close to the house (by road!), escorted by police and Lotus Evoras.
Unfortunately, it all passed too close to get the convoy, but here is the main bit of the plane!

5th November. I feel there should be a fireworks pic but I'm working so there wont be. Maybe at the weekend :)
So have a go at doing this, and report your findings. Don't try too hard, you shouldn't be able to....

I can do it :) But then my hands have always been weird, I can bend my fingers right back and clap with one hand. Which looks seriously stupid.
Isn't one hand clapping just slapping another surface on the body? i.e. Bum!
6th November - been trying to get this shot for a while!

Awww, I miss the chinchillas we used to have. Am fairly certain the dog would ensure they didn't last long if we had one now.
I bet that hat looks fab on you as well. :)
It does! it was an extra birthday pressie due to the fact I tried it on in a shop with Phil's mum and it looked so good she bought it for me :) I love hats.

I wish I could wear hats. My hair is so thin that I end up with a stupid "mould of the hat" shape on my head. They go on when I have to go to night games at football, but then they stay on until I get back in the car so no one sees my silly hair.
11th November - Button Giraffe (Jenson) has had a hard day.

He's from WHSmith and was a fiver! Saw him on the advert and needed him!! Also seen one is Tescos for a fiver too which is cute.
18th November - Goggles has had a crazy day today because it has been windy. She's been racing about like a fool. Here she is having a rest, and looking really impressed at having a camera shoved in her face.
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/1811.jpg
19th November - William. I was too scared to use the flash so had to lighten the pic a lot in PS!
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/1911.jpg
Vix, give that a go in B&W and up the contrast. You'll be amazed how good it looks :D
Love the goggles shot, looks well windswept ;D
Will have a go Kitten, thanks :)

As you've probably seen on FB, I just won £50 in a photo competition! Was a photo of the day from way back in April/May time - first comp I've entered, so I'm well chuffed :D

Nice one Kitten! Great pic, well worthy of £50.

WOW! I love that pic!! I hope u dont mind but Iv just put it as my desktop background!!! :D
:D There's two noses, can you spy the second one?
Thanks both *hugs* Am really pleased, didn't expect to be placed, certainly didn't expect to win a prize. Given me a bit of a boost, you know I always think people are just being nice when they say they like my pics ;D
Princess Griff
01-12-2009, 20:17
No thats a really lovely pic! I did spot the second nose teehee!! Are they Dalmations??
I can only see one nose! I think it's Sally dog?
30th November - Xmas cards ready to go:
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/3011.jpg
1st December - Commodore 64
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/0112.jpg
haha Vix, it's not Sally dog, but everyone thought that, even Sally's grandma! ;) (Sally is a dally/lab/god knows what else but it's small, cross)
If you look to the right of the obvious nose, under the gate is another little one!
They are cross-breeds I think Princess, I think there's some spaniel in there and probably some Dally too. They have big ears and square noses :D
OooooH!! Commodore 64! :D
I just updated my 365 (still not completely up to date yet - where does the time go? :shocked:) and these are two of my faves from recently. Who knew butterflies were fuzzy like teddy bears close up? :D
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c369/wilko1974/bh44.jpg

I really love those butterfly pics :)

Officially tagged - I have wanted one of these for so long!!
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/0212.jpg
Bit behind on commenting but....yay for Commodore 64s :D
And congratulations on winning the competition Kitten :D
I'm still taking photos (although still on poo iPhone), just been rather mental of late so not got round to sticking them up, will do shortly though. Still, foot's well on the mend now so should mean more walks and more 'proper' photo taking :)
yay to mending feet (do you believe I almost wrote pheet then :shocked:) and to your new job Vix. Must be fab to achieve something you've always had ambition for :)
Thanks Kitten. Yeah it's an odd feeling.
3rd December - someones Xmas pressie!
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/0312.jpg

It's actually nicer than I thought it would be. Got it as a stocking filler for his mum.

Awww me likes that one! :D
Finally got round to catching up!
Nothing compared to vix's photos which have shown such a huge improvement in the past year and look even better than at the start!
But here's my selection. Not long to go now and quite pleased that I've managed to keep up even with the foot stuff. Hopefully next year will be a bit more varied and outdoorsy though ;)
By some weird coincidence the first three were all taken a week after each other!
November 12th: Mum's Birthday. We went to Chiquitos for lunch :)
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/nov2.JPG
November 19th: Harry's enjoying the new mat in the living room!
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/nov3.JPG
November 26th: The guinea pigs have been having even more cuddles lately thanks to being laid up. Toffee's taken a paticular interest to my iPhone.
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/nov4.JPG
December 2nd: It must be getting cold. Harry's retreating to the V+ box for warmth again.
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/nov5.JPG
December 8th: Busy writing, this was roughly all I saw for 2 weeks.
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/dec1.JPG
December 13th: A trip to Borders which is closing down. Much like when Woolworths shut, it's so sad to see and I really feel for the staff.
http://www.halycopter.com/images/52/dec2.JPG
Right, that's that updated, now to go update my blog while I'm on a roll ;D
Woohoo! I like bulk updates. Mmmmmm Chiquitos!
Thanks for your kind words :) I might be quite sad on Dec 31st because it's the end of my 365. Trying to think of a slightly different project for next year.
Maybe all photos on a specific topic? Cars/racing might be a good idea? :D
I think I'll probably do another 52 but this time round I'm not going to break anything and I'll be using it to hopefully improve my skills with my Fuji camera!
That might be too easy Jen! I might drop to a '52' but definitely sticking to a theme. I was going to take a picture of my face on a weekly basis, but I don't like myself enough to do that lol!
Another thought was a 'copy' 365 so try and mimic each pic of this year's 365 on the same day but make it better. However too many things are specific, like crashed cars and snowy weather!
Such as today's pic, Snow in December:
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/1712.jpg
18th December : Festive house and snowy Sakura:
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/1812.jpg
19th December:
Tess the dog playing in the snow, she was a skittish greyhound out for a walk with her German Daddy and Thai Mummy who accosted us to take pics of them. I snapped the dog with my camera.
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/1912.jpg
20th December:
On the way to Cambridge, the sun was flashing through the snowy trees. This was taken with the car window down!
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/2012.jpg
21st December - Nexy's snow collection:

I love your blue and white icicle lights :)
I love your blue and white icicle lights :)
£10 in Homebase if they've still got any.
22nd December - mince pies. This first batch was rather rushed - was also making lasagne which appears in the background of the photo. Tomorrow's might look a bit less crazy.
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/2212.jpg
Vix, I'm setting up a group '52' next year on facebook. Each week we'll have a theme, chosen by someone in the group, and then we'll all upload those pics on the theme. Could do it here too if you like. Got 4/5 people already who are interested in joining in (though only 2 are on BD) and I've only mentioned it to a few people.
I've enjoyed the 365, but finding the time to get pics every day has sort of stopped me practising techniques and getting the 'perfect' shot quite a bit. It's been more about getting a shot, sometimes, like when Matt hurt himself, pretty much ANY shot. This year I want to focus on taking a good picture and then improving on it before posting the final thing. Also might be putting up little sort of diary/tutorial things about how I did it - starting image > end image and showing what was done inbetween. Be great if everyone could join in :)
Sounds like a good plan Kitten.
23rd December - Snow Angel
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/2312.jpg
24th December, and Stitch has found Christmas.
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/2412.jpg

28th December - Icy windscreen

29th December - Lush Stash!
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/2912.jpg
30th December - So many reasons why I shouldn't - but they were reduced :D
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/3012.jpg
One more shot to go Vix. Congratulations on getting through the whole year, it's bloody hard work and you should be really proud of yourself :) x
Thanks Kitten :) Well done you too, your shots have been fantastic!
31st December - i really wanted to go out on a high. In fact I feel like carrying on now just to end on a better note. But this can't not be included here. Chu the chinchilla took his last breath on the 31st December at 00:45. His cage now lies empty and clean.
http://www.finkydink.co.uk/albums/userpics/3112.jpg

Carry on then Vix, nothing stopping you. You make up the rules :)
:( very poignant. *hugs*
You've done brilliantly to complete your 365 though!

Just wanted to say a big well done to everyone who managed to do a 365 this year :)
A big clap for Kitten who despite the setbacks reached the finish line :D
Vix, I'm setting up a group '52' next year on facebook. Each week we'll have a theme, chosen by someone in the group, and then we'll all upload those pics on the theme.

Any more news on this as would be interested in taking part :)
My final shot from what was a bad year photography wise for a number of reasons is below, depression with its lack of motivation/concentration held me back so next year hopefully is an improvement.
http://i611.photobucket.com/albums/tt191/stonecoldmicks/Redcaf/snow1sm.jpg
Yeah SCM, I'll probably start another thread here in the next day or so - I guess we need to figure out how to do it :)
Lovely pic btw.
I just finished my 365 and feel a bit weird ;D
Here's the last pic - my first moon shot - last night's blue moon with partial lunar eclipse.
http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c369/wilko1974/311209.jpg?t=1262350495
Thanks :) I only realised after i processed the shot that the reason for the blue tint top right was i forgot to put the eyepiece back on after my long exposure shots a few months back doh
Great moon shot as well :)

Well done everyone, can't tell you how much I have enjoyed looking at everyones photos.
And finally my last two weeks.
Christmas Day:

New Year's Day dinner:

Not really happy with 95% of my 52 but then again much of that was down to foot related problems since July. On the plus side, I didn't give up which is always a bonus. :)
Hopefully 2010 will go better and involve much more use of the proper camera!
Well done Jen - you did really wel this year to keep up with everything despite what you had to go through :)
Thanks :)
Hopefully 2010 will be bigger and better :D
