My 52 week project 2013! (Week 36 Updated Sept 16, post #294)

[liquidtiger720]

After a long hiatus from photography, I took a trip to Asia and dusted off my trusty d200. I fell in love again and decided to start a 52 week project for 2013.

I'll be using my old account at flickr to capture my year.

josh nice to see you here great street scape to start with

 

[ArtO]

Neat image. Best of luck with your project.

Hi Josh - best of luck! Your focal point seems to be the other guy with a camera. At least that's where my eyes fall to while browsing the photo. Interesting shot.

 

[kixsand]

Welcome! Very interesting first image. Will look forward to more.

Welcome to the show Josh. I'll have to say your first image is interesting also. My eye is drawn to the man in front of the trolley car. He seems to be enjoying his morning while the hustling people around him go about their business. I like the processing of this image too.

Good to see you here with the other 52-week-fanatics!
Nice to see the way you faded the colors .

Great shot and PP - it deserves to be shown a bit bigger
I'll be checking in on your thread

Thanks for the comments everybody.

Its only week 2 and I'm already struggling to think of my next picture.

If you come up with any good ideas, let me know. SF and Santa Cruz... I'm right in the middle. Maybe we can meet up for a cup of coffee when you're passing through.

Me three. My largest issue behind composition is creativity/ imagination. This site and the challenges, collective shoots, and projects have been helping with that. Stick with it - we can do it. :smile:

Here is 2013 Week 2

As I thought, this project will be tough to do around my work schedule. I only had one chance to go out and shoot this week!

I saw a photograph of the old microsoft background with the photographer next to it, and it inspired me to make my own.

Sure thing. I'm no longer in Santa Cruz now though - I should update that.

Thanks for the motivation. It's nice to know I'm not the only one struggling for creativity.

A classic shot. Did you add the vignette?

Vignette added in post. The sky was fairly bland - I wish there was a cloud or two.

 

[Rob Zijlstra]

Josh, nice classic one indeed!

this project will be tough to do around my work schedule.

Elaborate a bit? What do you do for a living? (If I may ask:smile

I've always liked photos like these, and you've done really well with this. I like it a lot!

 

[kixsand]

I like this image a lot. Really well seen.

I think it would be interesting in black and white as well.
