7 / 365 Not An Exit

Okay... but where does it go?

Have a great day! - Ed

6 / 365 Red Door

From this morning... this was not the main target of my outing(as you will see later); just some "collateral damage" from my camera being around.

Have a great day! - Ed

5 / 365 Somber Sky

One of the final images of the day... Still have plenty to learn with the new filter; but I see a lot of potential when the conditions are right. Going to have to try again real soon :)

Have a great day! - Ed

4 / 365 Cabin & Clouds

Made this image as I was experimenting with different shutter speeds to see how the filter would effect exposure, as well as how much motion in would allow me to capture.

What do you think of this one?

Have a great day! - Ed

3 / 365 Storm Break Over Valley Forge

This image was from late this afternoon... after much debate and frustration about where to shoot; I settled on Valley Forge. I wanted an opportunity to have a lot of sky and some fixed elements so I could try out my new filter. This was made using the Lee Big Stopper; a 10 stop ND filter. I was a little nervous using it in the conditions; it's glass instead of resin, and I am pretty sure it won't bounce if I drop it ;)

I am not sure if I am disqualified from continuing my 365 Project. If you miss a day, is that it? Or can you make it up and play catch up? Either way... this is my 3rd image of the project.

Hope everyone enjoyed the snow...

Have a great day! - Ed

2/365 3.2 Seconds at Valley Forge...

I received a new filter on Friday; a Lee 10 stop Neutral Density filter aka "The Big Stopper". I have been waiting for the skies to be favorable to try it out. The heavy gray clouds seemed to breaking up so I grabbed my gear and headed out. I had pictured an image using this monument when I ordered this filter back in September. The sky didn't hold on quite long enough... maybe I will have better luck with the filter tomorrow.

Have a great day! - Ed

1/365 Betty Spaghetty

Inspired by a photobud (Mary :) ) and a few others; I have decided to do a "365" project. I will either shoot and/or process a new image for each day in 2011. Sometimes there may be themes, or they will be just the randomness of what comes... I might not be able to post them the day of (as is the case here) but they will be posted with the day they were captured or processed.

I am doing it for several reasons; but at the very least as a new challenge to myself and my creativity.

This was taken as we were celebrating the New Year at Nanny's house. Elise didn't want her picture taken, instead wanting the dolls to be the picture ;-)

Have a great day! - Ed
