Project 365 - Day 5

Today was a really tough day for my 365 project. I've spent the morning doing urbex in an abandoned train station. The weather was really hostile: little rain and heavy wind blowing. While returning home, I wanted to take a picture of a paper factory along a canal as my picture of the day. The reason I wanted to take this shot is that I wanted to make a long exposure of the factory with heavy clouds above it. I had brought my ND filter with me so I could go for a 30 seconds shot, capturing the clouds as they were moving. When I arrived there, along the canal, the wind was really  really violent. I put my camera on the tripod and tried to get that long exposure shot, but the wind was blowing so strong that even on the tripod, the camera was slightly moving, making all my pictures blurry and unusable.

Back at home, I was wondering what I could shot as my picture of th day, and I saw my desk lamp lighting the wall. I thought it could make an interesting grahic composition. And now, that's the picture you're looking at today. I really like how the 365 project makes you look at the surrounding world to find pictures !

Project 365 - Day 4

There's an old chapel in the wood not far from where I live. I never had the chance to go look at it, but today I decided that it would be a good opportunity for my photographic 365 days project to go check it out. The chapel is very nice and has been built in 1740 if I believe the date written on it. Unfortunately for me, it was closed and by a big wooden door. I was very impressed by the big lock on the door and took it as the subject of my today's picture.

For those more interested about my urbex pictures, I've added a new gallery on my website about an abandoned veterinary school also known as "Horror labs". You can see it on my photography website.

Project 365 - Day 3

Well, here's my picture for today. A house is being built next to mine, so I took the opportunity to shoot the crane from my garden. The sun was setting down, so the sky's quite dark but it's not the night yet. I tried to use the crane as a geometric divider for my picture.

Project 365 - Day 2

 Here's my second picture of my project 365. It's another minimal/abstract shot, this time taken in my bathroom. I'm not so happy with it, though I think there's some idea in it, but that's the best shot I took today... Anyway, it gaves me the opportunity to play with the square format, which is a really hard format to use I think. Don't hesitate to leave some comments to tell me what you think about it !

Project 365 - Day 1

So, as the new year begins, I've decided to jump on the train of the project 365. I can hear you wondering what's this all about. It's simple: the goal of the exercice is to take one picture a day during 365 days. Some people take a theme for their project, and some don't. In my case, I won't take any specific theme, my objective is to practice photography in domains I'm not familiar with. But don't worry, I'll still post pictures of urban explorations... ;-)

Well, here's my first picture (taken yesterday, so I may post a second one today). It's been taken in a museum in Brussels, I was trying to get a minimalist/abstract shot. I also put this picture in black and white, which I find is really difficult to achieve, I mean a real beautiful black and white, not just a desaturated picture.

For those interested, my urban exploration pictures are still available on my photography website.
