My 365 Day Photo Project

[512_SIR II]

Thought i'd post my 365 day photo project up for others to see and maybe to inspire others to do one of these projects as well. Feel free to comment on any of the photos or critique them if you want.

Day 1
Title : New Year
Camera : T1i
Lens : Canon 24-105 f4 L
Settings : Manual mode, 30 seconds, ISO 400, f7.1
This is my step dad shooting a roman candle at the road. I thought it looked pretty cool and once I saw it I decided to start this whole project.

Settings : Aperture priority, 1/400 second, ISO 400, f6.3
I went down to a park near my house to shoot a railroad bridge when this duck swam up to me, walked around for a few seconds, and then swam off. I think he wanted to help me out with this project.

Day 4
Title : SX-40
Camera : T1i
Lens : Canon 24-105 f4 L
Settings : Aperture priority, 1/8 sec, ISO 200, f4
This is a stereo from the 80's that I have in my room for my surround sound. I've looked at it for years and never thought of it as something worth photographing. Once I looked at it up close and really thought about it I managed to figure out an angle that I think worked out pretty well.

Title : Brushy Creek
Camera : T1i
Lens : Canon 24-105 f4 L
Settings : Manual, 13 sec, ISO 100, f22
I was in a better mood today so I went out and actually had fun shooting this shot. It's an HDR shot of the Brushy Creek. I shot five different exposures and used photoshop cs5 to merge them together. I didn't have any nd filters so I had to wait for it to get dark enough so it would give me a long exposure. It was nice sitting around and waiting though, I wasn't rushed getting the shot. I just sat back and waited for the light to fade just so to where the photo worked out how I wanted it to

Lol... i used to run those spark plugs! and I had that Neuspeed Strut bar.. but in chrome in my old H22a '94 Accord!

[512_SIR II]

Nice man. Yea normally I run the v power but I thought i'd try something else for once. They seem good, no real difference to me. That motor is a b16a in my 92 integra. That strut bar was a pain to find though man. I had to search around to find one new cause they don't make them anymore
