Project 365 - Day 42

This is an old farm in the countryside not far from my house. I really like those old kind of old farms, they seem to fully integrate in the environment, they look like giant rocks dropped on the grass. I was lucky that day, the sun was shining making the frsh green of the grass really pops out !

Project 365 - Day 41

I'm afraid I'll never be able to post regularly for my project 365, I'm really sorry for that ! Anyway, here's the next picture. I tried to go for a diagonal frame, followinf the direction of the vegetation and trying to get it going from one corner to the opposite corner.

Project 365 - Day 40

I was taking a walk, enjoying the sun, in an old abandoned quarry when I found this stone. It instantly catches my attention. The regularity of the lines amazed me and told that it was obviously used for something. I was with a friend, and while we were wondering what can were those lines, my friend suggested that it was maybe a cutting table on which the rocks were sawn. We'll probably never know the truth about it, but I really liked those lines in the rocks, the moss and the dead leaves on it, as well as the sunray in the background.

Project 365 - Day 39

I don't know how this things called. It is located on an old canal that is not in use anymore. Every lock on this canal has these kind of stairs. I don't know if it's of some use to the fishes. On every of these lock's stairs the water is flowing very fast, making it impossible to take a picture of them in front like I did here. Fortunately for me, there was just one were the water wasn't running, so I could position myself just in front of it and take this shot. I had already taken a picture of this one in the past, but as I was going for a walk and just passed in next to it, I decided to give another try.

Project 365 - Day 38

A close up shot of my cat. He's a very nice little guy, and I tried to get a nice picture of him while he was quiet, which is seldom the case. I was aiming for a very close shot of his head, and here's the result...

Project 365 - Day 30

Belgium and its well known weather. I'm quite frustrated not being to go outside because of the continuous rain. Well, I admit I could be a bit more courageous, but this kind of weather is very depressing. I was looking at the window and saw all these little droplets. They were like a thousand of little lens reflecting the outside world upside down. At least, it gave me the opportunity to take this shot...

Project 365 - Day 23

I'm taking the opportunity that it's cold to make "cold" pictures. Winter can really draw nice patterns on water and glass. I saw this on a window and tried to capture it to make a nice abstract shot. These patterns always amaze me and my daughter is always angry when we scratch them to see through the windows, she finds these really beautiful....

Project 365 - Day 19

Sometimes when you wake up, you get a nice surprise. For Day 19 of my 365 project, I had this great surprise. I looked outside by my window and saw a wonderful dawn. In the back of my garden, I can see an electric pillar. Lots of people think it's a pity I've got one of these just behind my garden, but personally, I like them. I think they're very graphic. I guess it's just a question of point of view. Anyway, I tried to get an interesting composition using the shape of the pillar and the colours of ths sky.

Project 365 - Day 17

Winter seems to finally come to Belgium. The ground was frozen this morning. I went in my garden and tried to capture the frozen grass in the morning sun. I found a small red leaf that I took as the main subject. I found it interesting to have both a contrast between the sun and the frozen grass as well as having a contrast of colours between the red of the lonely tree leaf and the green of the grass.

For those interested, I've added new sets of pictures on my urbex photography website.

Project 365 - Day 11

You see me posting pictures of cat and I know you're afraid. You're thinking "Oh no, he won't begin posting pictures of cats like 90% of the blogs out there !". Don't worry, I won't ! ;-) I just didn't knew what to shoot this day, and we've got this little chap at home that for once was quiet, so I thought I could give a try at having a nice picture of him.

I know I'm a bit late at posting pictures for my 365 project, but yesterday I couldn't take any pictures because of a bad news that happened to us and I've been quite busy yesterday. This means I'll have to take two pictures today ! I'll also try to post them today, but I'm not sure I'll have time to do it...

Project 365 - Day 7

I didn't had time this week-end to post the pictures for my project 365, so here's the one that I take on saturday. I went to see a friend and he showed me the terrain he had bought: a small wood with a pond in the middle of it. I had my old Nikon D3000 with only the 50mm 1.4 argentic lens mounted on it. I took this picture of the trees reflecting on the still water.

Autumn waterscape

Autumn waterscape. I took this picture for a contest a few years ago and it won the first place. Strangely, a lot of people have problems understanding this picture, some even thought it was a photography of a painting. In fact, it is a long exposure shot of a waterfall. The yellow leaf was stuck in the algae and I thought it was a nice contrast with the reflecting blue sky in the water.
