Project365 364: Kaput Candle

Second last image of the year's Project 365. Both the candle and I share a common theme. We are both almost kaput.

Note: if you try something like this yourself, watch that you don't overheat your lens or get it smoky.

Project365 363: Wishbone

The wishbone is often the last remnants of a holiday meal. My personal challenge (or wish) with this photo was to see if I could make an interesting image with a bone as the featured item. I am stll contemplating what I could have done different or better. Afterwards I took a look on some photo sites to see what other might have done. The most interesting images I found were of multiple wishbones which made for some interesting patterns.

Project365 362: The End of The Day

Sunset at Lake Wilcox; I originally had a different concept for this image. I was thinking of the dead end road with the signage being the feature and the sunet as background interest but as played around with the scene I decided that the sign didn't work and instead I would feature snow capped rocks.

Project365 361: Running on Empty

Many people has asked me if I am going to continue with Project 365 into another year. My answer is 'no'. Just like the fuel in my tank, I feel like it is time for a change.

Project365 360: The End of Dessert

Today marks the the beginning of the end. As is my custom I start my new weekly theme for Project 365 on Mondays. This week my theme is 'Finis' as in 'The End'. This week will feature the end of things.

I might also use the opportunity to explore some more complex lighting setups. I now have a new Apollo softbox that I need to learn how to use.
