a shot a day

[spako]

I started a 365 days project on new year's day and wanted to share some of my shots so far...
I hope you'll like them and if you are interested you might want to check out my website to see more of the shots.
I tried this kind of a project a few years ago but stopped after only a very few days... back then I wanted to do only self portraits and it turned out to be quite difficult to come up with good ideas over time. This time I didn't restrict myself with one particular subject. My only restrictions are a shot a day in B&W with my 50mm.

So here are some of the shots I took so far:

.birthday cake on fire.


.road to mom and dad's.


.car park.


.love is.


.nails vs claws.

thanks for taking the time

Nice idea - and hey: I must be having an apparition! SPAKO is here!
You're making yourself scarce!

I have decided never to try out the 365-days project: I'd quit after only a couple of days, I am just SURE.

The one with the birthday cake is really nice!
Are you still into that partial desaturation that you performed to perfection in your photography?

I like the car park shot. The tones are really nice and I like the light fall off at the bottom.

Number 2 is awesome! The only thing i would change would be the car on the left. Great POV and execution. KUDOS!

#1: why let that black beam grow out of her head; if you dress it up, this would be really fine
#2: excellent; probably the best of the lot so far
#3: i would recommend trimming foreground to no-sore level
#4:OK
#5: Surroundings distract

Thanky for your replies!

@LaFoto: the main objective of my project is to keep me shooting while I'm at home, considering that I mostly only shot on my travels the last few years I guess I'll be checking in some more from now on. As for the partial desaturation it's not a technique I still use on my shots.. for now I go with black and white but this may change over time ;-) who knows.

@Frequency: thanks for the detailed critique: the black photo frame in the background disturbed me too and I did remove it using the stamp tool but left it as it was afterwards... I dont like fiddling to much on my shots anymore... but I'm certain it would stand out more if the silhouette were perfect...
and on the last shot I really like the surroundings because they are the comic paper clips of my lamp and I like the way they fit to the theme.. but in black and white you can hardly see what they are and I understand that they seem to be distracting...

I'll keep you posted on my project ;-)
