I don’t know where this petal came from. It just appeared in the garden.

365 Week One

 

Well the first seven images are below. As I thought it wasn’t easy but probably not as difficult as I expected. The target of posting an image every day got me thinking more, walking more and taking more photographs – so success so far. I’ve called the project 365, not very original but easy to remember.

As I said in a previous post I’ve been posting an image every day on Flickr and will continue to post the previous week’s images here each weekend. My Flickr photostream can be found here.

The first image, above, was featured in the previous post and is from a walk in Titanic Quarter.

Quattro, car, Audi, J Orr

Number two is the front grill of an Audi Quattro car. I used to follow the Circuit of Ireland Rally, when it practically did do a Circuit of Ireland. Cars tended to be rear wheel drive and slid round bends with the rear wheels scrabbling for purchase – great entertainment and  drama for the spectators. Then the Audi Quattro arrived. It just drove round the bends, no sliding, very fast but no drama. A super car but things were never the same.

Number three was taken in my garden. A reminder that winter is coming.

Number four is from Bangor. The front has been an eyesore for years and now there are rumours of redevelopment. In the meantime things have been brightened up a bit.

Number five was from the garden again. It rained.

Number six and back to Titanic Quarter. This is one of a few sculptures near SS Nomadic. I thought they were meant to represent Shipyard Workers but there is nothing there to explain and one of the figures appears to be Charlie Chaplin.

Number seven and it’s raining again. This is the bonnet of a car. The pattern is caused by the roof of a carport.

A Pic a Day

SS Nomadic, Titanic, J Orr

Recently I’ve lacked motivation. I’m not working hard enough at creating new stock images and when I do get new photographs I’m not uploading them to my libraries as often as I should. As the cold, wet winter weather arrives things are unlikely to get easier so I’ve given myself the task of taking a picture a day, hopefully for a year.

I have read and followed other photographers who have done this and believe me it is not easy. To take a photograph every day that is worth uploading for people to see is going to be very very difficult but giving a public commitment to do it can only help.

Rather than post an image every day to this blog I’m going to upload each day to Flickr and upload the images to this blog every weekend.
