Day 365! Hope you've enjoyed.

Happy New Year. See the link at the top of the right column, to my 2010 Project 365.
Thanks to everyone who followed my blog this year, some commented in here, some in person.
In 2010 I will start off as a 365 but may change gears at some point and go with a Project 52 or something. Probably not, but we will see.
Hope to see you on the new site.

Answer to the unofficial "Whatsit"

Of course you know the second one's popcorn "leftovers" in a metal bowl.
The first one is the inside of a clamp lamp. :)

On the way home from work today - yes it's day shift this week :( - I saw these horses with the late afternoon sun shining on them. I have to admit the sunglasses I was wearing made the scene look more spectacular but the shots I got were cool too.

3 - We like the moooooon! The final chapter.

I, Wayne Valler, hereby solemnly swear to never post another photo of the moon in my Project 365, for the remainder of 2009, no matter what, the one in this post being the final one.

My new camera - Canon EOS 50D

And I think I forgot to mention I retired the LG VX 8600 and replaced it with a Samsung Rogue, a couple months ago.

 

Project 365 ~ 2010

Project 365, 2010 is coming here on  - you guessed it - Jan 1, 2010. Hope you enjoy it.
Let me know how you like the new layout, which is more of a photoblog layout...seems more appropriate.
To navigate through the blog entries, click the "Older Posts", "Home", and "Newer Posts" links located under each entry (note: they don't show right now, since there isn't an older post or newer post).

Day 360 - almost over!

Merry Christmas!!

The first photo (in here) taken with my new camera, heavily cropped and lightly post processed.

South for the winter

Vacancy

See 12/10, Shooter's block. It may be the time of year, since I couldn't find any exact date ones from last year iether. Same as this year, random shots - not real good ones - here and there. I took this one tomorrow (12/12) - I'll figure out tomorrow's next. lol.

"Blocked – Identifying and Remedying Shooter’s Block"

Good article I think (click anywhere above). "Cheating" like crazy these days :).
I know it's the fact that winter is setting in (I just want to hibernate like I believe my ancestors did) as well as it being the holiday season, working overtime, and fighting off a cold.
I'm also anticipating the purchase of a new camera (Merry Christmas AND Happy Birthday to me from me) but I don't know if that has given me shooters block actually.
Anyway, 21 days left for this blog. Woohoo! I'm thinking the next one will be a little different, perhaps less stringent than "365". I'll definitely post a link, especially since it might not be on Blogger this time.

'Tis the season!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Christmas Cactus

Have a holly jolly Christmas...

Part of Lake Nippenicket.

Little Quittacus Sunset

Hmmm.

Liberty

Did an experiment in reverse lens macro, using a 50mm f1.7 Minolta Rokkor lens on my S5's extension tube. Although the S5 has Super Macro, I just wanted to see if this would work...it did.
I don't remember now, if the full penny was taken with that setup or using Super Macro, but the Liberty was taken with the reversed lens.

Cigarette Snuffers. About 1" diameter at the base.
