Just in case you hadn’t noticed, (I know it’s a small thing, don’t complain that I expect miracles) I’ve added a new section to the main menu.

Look up… way up… there it is! Right next to the disclosure policy. 365

One day a while back I was trolling surfing the net and I found a blog with the same category. It was a challenge. Take one picture a day (not just one, but at least one) for a year and post it as a record.

It might not sound too difficult but it’s meant to challenge your imagination as a photographer. Nobody wants 365 pictures of thier dog on display so you need to use that imagination and creativity to think of something interesting to post each day. Different perspectives, composition, lighting and subjects are supposed to give you some insight into what you truly enjoy photgraphing and hone your skills as a photographer.

I’ve decided to take on the challenge and began my 365 journey on December first 2008. I figured at the very least, I’d get through the Christmas season! I might not be able to post them daily (I might to do a weeks worth in once shot) but I will take at least one picture a day and post it to that day.

Please feel free to have a look and comment on them as you do here. Tell me if you like it, hate it or if it’s just.. meh for you. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Wish me luck!

Letting go…

This is my very first foray into pictures of water drops in motion. I sat outside and used a spray bottle to continuously wet this one leaf (whose colour I liked) It took a fair few shots but this is the result… I’m pretty pleased with it!Originally uploaded by She’ll Be Apples


Just thought I’d share the joy… my joy at finally getting a kick ass photo that I totally did on purpose.

SEE??? A little effort goes a long way (In a country that occasionally sucks)

Blowing ribbons, originally uploaded by She’ll Be Apples.

This is the result of our hard work this Friday. Chelsea’s geisha turned out pretty cool and she was the hit of the party.
Good thing I learned how to tie an obi properly in Japan.
Goes to show… no knowledge is useless knowledge!

All of the kids had a great time and my bandwith at home is virtually non-existant because of the massive MySpace uploads…LOL

Here are some more perspectives on her costume…

How demure

ANOTHER ONE!!!!

Arghhhhhh!!!!!  I’m seriously about to start babbling gibberish and start packing my bags.

“That’s it! I want snow.”

Spiders don’t live in snow you see, but apparently Queensland is just CHOCK FULL OF THEM.  I could barely handle the idea of one massive bird eating spider but obviously they keep them as pets on the other side of Australia.

I will never sleep again….

THIS…

…was snapped in Queensland somewhere near Cairnes a little while ago and made it to the news page of nineMSN where it caused me to spit coffee all over my keyboard and thus informing the IT department of my stupidity. What was harder to explain was the fact that I tried to suck it back in (the coffee, not the spider) and proceded to choke to death. (Well, not quite death but close…)

Not the thing to do when surreptitiously surfing the net at work….

 

PS It’s a Golden Orb Weaver, and no, they don’t get that big in WA.

PPS Yes, it is eating a bird.

PPPS Two posts in one day!! Do i get a gold star?
