I think it's snuggley cat weather

I certainly wish I was one right now!

Kitten · 11-01-2009, 23:36

it's lovely Kate

Finally remembered to join in. Hopefully I'll remember to keep up with you guys

I'm in a good mood right now so I expect there won't be an entry tomorrow when I'm moody and depressed. For those that don't know their history, shame on you, I tried once before. People liked my processing style but I decided it wasn't for me since my processing wasn't my own. Something this personal should be my own through and through. I'm hoping to be as open as Marcel has been, but there is a danger in that. If anyone has seen Peep Show then you'll understand what its like to be in my head

3rd Jan 09. 365.1

I hear the internet is on computers now. Look ma. I'm on the internet! Plans for this 365 as stated. Document my life. Whatever that means. I'll tackle the bad stuff as it comes, which annoyingly is more often than it should be.

365.02.040109

Some people think I sleep in my hat. I don't. I may take a shower in it though.

365.03.050109

I've spent most of the day looking at words. Tomorrow I hit the enemy toast and finish the HDR book. The final chapter, portraits. I imagine theres a fair few hoops to jump through after that though but the real work will be done. Oh and yes I am wearing WW1 fighter pilot goggles.

365.04.060109

So while watching the Macrumourslive feed from Macworld they got hacked. I was scared so I hide in my iPhone until it was all over.

365.0.5.070109

Shhhhhh. I'm hiding from work.

365.06.080109

Today has been one of those days. I finally finished my part of the HDR guide book. It was a weight off. Tomorrow I can just do whatever and enjoy it. Annoyingly the day was somewhat spoilt by the petty forum bitching over HDR. That same nonsense day in day out. It really gets to me. I've spent 3 to 4 months writing this huge book, putting as much as I can think of into it and there is a part of me that thinks its just going to bring more trouble my way.

I got tired of all the fighting in web design. I was a strong believer in CSS and adhering to W3C standards. Annoyingly the majority of the web aren't. Its hard work trying to convince people and spending your time fighting with them day in day out on forums really gets me down. I enjoyed a break from that with photography. However it seems that I've now found the most controversial aspect of modern day photography and put myself right in the thick of it.

Most days its fine. I can take the heat and dish it out. Annoyingly today has been stressful. I've been trying to get this last chapter done for a while and its been hard. I firmly believe in what I'm doing and the merits of HDR, but its just very hard trying to get it to work on some subjects. I needed it work to show people just what can be done. As George McFly used to say "If you put your mind to it you can accomplish anything." I knew it would work and it does. I'm glad the chapter is in the book. Its just when you're trying to write and also fight with people online its stressful and depressing. "What am I doing? I can't do this? Jesus christ this is impossible." Its like dominoes. It only takes one little thing and a chain reaction starts. Only takes one little thing for me to get very depressed at the wrong time. I'm left fighting that, fighting deadlines and fighting with people.

At the end of the day the book is going to be fantastic. For now I can literally wash my hands of it until the editing process kicks in. Its been a tough day. This entry nearly wasn't to be. I was ready to throw in the towel. "Fk it. I'm really not in the mood for photos." Must thank my friends who helped me get back on track

365.07.090109

One week down. 51 left. Simple image tonight. Its been a simple day. Had a milkshake from Shakeabout in L1, wandered round with sister and nephew.

Came home and caught up with Gundam 00. Really fantastic Gundam series, totally beats Gundam Seed. I found that far too annoying as the main character spent most of the series crying, whining about the evils of war and not wanting to fight. Screw that. Its Gundam. I wanna see mechs fighting not kids crying. Thankfully Gundam 00 delivers in spades. Really great, and in HD too. The model featured is from Gundam Wing. I need to get something from 00 some day.

365.08.100109

A long day. This is me doing a silly tourist photo. As you can see I managed to take my self by surprise too. Gotta love the D700's ISO6400 support. Amazing camera. Loing it so so much. After this I went to cover the street events and its like day time at ISO6400. So clean, so much light. Perfect exposures. I <3 this camera.

This entry sponsored by Gitzo. Still gotta do todays.

365.09.110109

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?.
I don't belong here

Kitten · 12-01-2009, 08:16

looking fabulous so far Pete. love the Mask and the phone pic the best

Davey_Pitch · 12-01-2009, 09:33

My 365 lasted long

Through tiredness, being busy, and a complete lack of inspiration I only got a couple of pics last week. May just turn it into a 52 like Kate and hopefully through the year turn it into a daily pic.

Loving the kitty pics

12th January. In one of the less nice places of Norwich. I actually removed my stereo from the car today when I parked. I clutch my handbag tighter.

Art or vandalism? Or 'Could this building be made to look any worse?'

Sorry about the 'orbs'

Nice artwork in there

Seems you have a possessed camera like Pigmo

EDIT: I have my first photo of the year taken, just need to download and upload. Will do that later on.

Haly · 12-01-2009, 18:41

My second week:

I went to Ikea today and bought a huge DVD rack. However along the way I couldn't resist some rather colourful scissors

When done like that art, when just quick name tags with a spray can vandalism.

Some great pics in here guys, I wish I could manage to take decent pics

Pheebs · 12-01-2009, 18:54

Yaaaaaaay to ikea and their big boxes of stuff everywhere!

Pete - I want your super hero mask! How cool!!!

Vix - those kind of concrete buildings remind me of Southampton Railway station flats!

Kate - Kitty looks loverly and snuggly! I wanna be all snuggled like her!

Tracy - saw it a while ago and neglected to comment - I Luuurve the sally dawg piccie! She looks like Trio when she's just been spoken to whilst led on the ground and is paying attention... but not sure whether she should move yet!

I like it!

Davey... I too have been poo. I initially thought I broked the camera as no matter what setting I put it on it would not take any pictures what so ever. Had a bit of a panic and thought "oh no, Pickys gonna hang me" and figured I would break the news to him when he was less involved in work. Two days later, he picks up the cam and takes a piccie straight away and I'm like "eh?!?"

So kind of mucked up the whole 365 but still taking piccies when I can

This is todays - My Happy Hand and My Sad Hand

Poor Sad Hand has chilblains and isn't particularly content drawing/gripping/moving/being submersed in water etc. It just wants to be warm and left alone.

However.

I'm one of those stoopid people who, when they discover a bruise think it requires to be prodded every other minute, despite hurting, to see how it's doing

Luckily for me it's been warmer today though and it has been feeling a bit bettereererrer
