…and Project 365 comes to an end.

Well I am winding down to the end of Project 365.  364 days ago I decided to try shooting a minimum of one photo everyday for a full year.  Tomorrow I take the last shot of that project, but for now, here are a few from the final week.  Like the entire project, some are better than others.

I’m coming down to the end of Project 365 (5 days left) and I have wanted to do a picture of Linwood’s camera, but just hadn’t done it, until today.

Linwood's Nikon

I love the patina on this piece and I was able to get it to come out a little.  It’s very odd because one unicorn has purple patina and the other has aqua.

Here are days 297 and 298.  I can see the finish line!

These past few days I have been shooting Project 365 shots that are not related at all.  Here are some examples:

Yellow Moon

Jade Bolo

The Web

Yellow Tea Pot

Wandered in and around the cactus patch today (yes, in shorts and flip flops) and took some shots.

Hypodermic

Long Shadow

Stick In The Sky

Color Sucked By A Needle

Look Me In The Eye

I had a big friend for company!

Here’s an interesting experiment that I decided to try.

Ring In Book - Blue Tint

I had seen this done before, but I discovered that with some adjusting of the position of the light, you could not only get the heart in the ring shadow but a heart in the larger light. This photo and the one that follows have almost no post processing done with the exception of a crop and some color tone, but the heart light is right out of the camera. I used a large hand held work light that you can get at any hardware store, like Home Depot. The light was shined almost directly behind the ring at a relatively high angle. The camera was stopped down 2 full stops to black out the areas outside the heart.

Ring In Book - Orange Tint

This one is the same photo as above, but I took it into photoshop and added the flare on the crown of the ring. Not sure if I like it better or not, but I decided to include it for reference. What do y’all think?
