I am going to try a 365 project this year after all. So going for 1 image a day, and made a promise to myself, it has to be images I've planned and which challenges me.

Suggestions on how to improve my stuff, are always welcome :)

2014, here I come!

Yay! I can't wait to see what you do in 365 images! Welcome to the 365. And I like the bubbles.

No no no! Regretting this! I wanna try 365. I know its kind of cheating already but hey, I'm only cheating myself. I did take an image on January 1, at least.
Is there a kind moderator who can change the title? Wud's project 365.

Good luck!

PM Don or one of the other mods to change your header.

Day 3 - crazy day. We got a Metro, dont know if you got the same, its like a small train? Anyhow, brought one of my dogs with me to work, on the way the conductor wants to see my ticket and believe it or not, he then wants to give me a fine because I paid TO MUCH. We have these discount cards, 10 tickets is a little cheaper when you buy it at once, I just used 2 of those but dogs goes on kids tickets, which is a little cheaper, so actually I paid to much for my dog (I just wanted to get on the train that was just arriving and ticket machine are sooo slow).

I refused to get a fine for spending to much on a ticket, so he asked me to get of the train and then he called the police, lol. We waited half an hour, when finally the officers arrived and looked pretty confused. They couldn't help me though, as the Metro have their own rules. So I gave my name and address but refused to sign the fine.

Several hours later, I got a call from the Metro. Well, they just talked to the conductor and they would like to apologize very much, of course this fine was wrong, the guy just got confused with the rules. So I got an email confirming the annulment. He was very sweet talking to. I feel a little bad for the conductor but wow, what a waste of time.


Tried several flash images with my dogs but no luck, looked really bad or had wrong focus (tried it outside in the evening).
So this is todays shot - me and a lighter; I tried something else but that will be another day I get it right.

That's quite a story. Glad it worked out in your favor.

I can barely see the image. It's very dark on my computer.

Its supposed to be really dark? I see it but its only showing the front of the face, which was what I was going for - but let me know if others dont see it either.

Day 4.

A lot of the images I want to do, don't work. So frustrating. Luckily my girlfriend called me and we went to the beach for some fun shots, seriously a cold place, ugh.

We wanted to do moving lights in the darkness but the wind kept blowing them out, but then I really liked the look of her while she tried to keep the flame alive:

(This one to prove, the one above is on purpose ;))

I like the bottom one from Day 4.

I also agree that the image from Day 3 might be a little too dark, at least on the size image we're seeing here. I like what you did, but the light is too compressed. I don't think you have to go too much brighter, but there's a lot that you can't see. I'm thinking something like, or between, these two...

They're not a lot lighter, but at the subject is at least visible.

No matter how they turn out there is always a sense of anticipation when I'm opening up any of your threads WUD.

I see what you mean :) I just liked that if my eyes wanted to zap quickly over my image, they couldn't, it was so dark that I had to look twice.

Day 5, tough one. So hard to stay still. Tried with my husband but that just got TO weird, lol.

Its a lighter I am moving around.

Iso 200, 1/8, f/10. Completely dark room, I set the camera on delayed shutter and with the lighter on, I made focus first, then waited in the dark until it said KA-KLONK.
