Lawrence's 365 for 2014

[BackdoorArts]

Day 8
I only took this one photo all day as I spent most of the time waiting to undergo an MRI scan.
Just to stay in the 365.

Please tell me this had nothing to do with the MRI.

Welcome back.

Day 12
Baxter in relaxed mode.

Day 13 and not a good photography day for me!
I took a number of photos - all not so good - and in the end am going with my best moon shot.

Warning: Not for those with sensitive stomachs!

I am putting this out there to be criticised and I am looking for help on my moon shots. I looked at and tried to emulate what others have done for their moon shots but this is no where near and completely horrible.
Any and all advice welcome.

Its not bad, looks a bit noisy too me though.

 

[Lawrence]

It is noisy with ISO at 1600 according to EXIF. Not sure why as I had it set to 100 on manual! I took well over 40 photos and in the end gave up just short of trashing my tripod. Grrr ….

Thanks for your comment Scott.

Make sure you have Auto ISO turned off.

May go try again in a minute but in the meanwhile here is another one just to show I did take more than one photo today.
Although its not too flash either.

What is this?

 

[Lawrence]

What is this?

I have no idea - it looks like some sort of grinder that was mounted on this piece of timber for ornamental purposes. Might have been a handle from and old washing machine.

Thanks for clearing that up.

From now on I will only take photos of identifiable objects. So far today I have a photo of the washing frolicking in the wind in bright sunshine. It's a happy load.

Day 14
Another struggle to come up with something original.
So you get a phone and a back yard (the other option was the washing on the line!)

Don't do that!!

Day 15

What a breeze thanks to a lot of help from peeps on here.
I went down to the New Zealand Under 19 Golf champs and just hung around the clubhouse, practice green and putting range.








Probably a bit much for one post but it could have been worse as this is only a sample. Some were overcooked and I could get something back in post processing.
Nothing I could do about some of these horrible golf swings though. However it is great to see kids out there playing golf and competing.
