D 251 - Muddy Waters

I've found some due photos on my phone memory card.

D 228 - Harmonious

Simple photo but I like the way the colors match.

D 227 - Sandy slam

Dramatic clouds and dramatic pose.

D 226 - Nordic Sunset

Sunset conveniently occurred over the beach.

D 225 - All things run to the sea

Experimenting with external flash fill light on a bright midday at the seaside.

D 200 - Dead Heat #8

Equipment

W810i

D 174 - Dirt

Bathroom sink after rinsing vacuum filter.

Equipment

E-510 with ZD1442.
RAW edited in Lightroom.

What I learned

Even dirty menial housework can have an interesting perspective.

Well... Alice In Chains rules anyway. I'm playing 'Dirt' on my stereo today, so I guess I got inspired or something.

Garbage, sewage, dirt and abandon. The rat and roach infested backstage of modern life. Menial works that nobody thinks about but someone has to be doing it. It all sounds like a very tempting theme and it has always been so to me. Freud wouldn't have liked it.

D 129 - Depravated

From the "My Way or the Highway" series. This time I went for panoramic shot comprised of 7 stitched photos.

Equipment

E-510 with ZD1442.
Stitched in Canon Stitch Manager.

What I learned

I need some better stitching software, because despite exposure being locked throughout making all 7 photos there are visible stitching lines (or rather bands) particularly obvious in the sky areas.

D 119 - Birds

Bird tracks in a river mud. Part of "My Way or the Highway" series.

Equipment

E-510 with ZD1442.
Developed from RAW in Lightroom: saturation, levels, color mix and sharpness.

What I learned

After the time of posting straight out of camera shots I'm trying to assimilate the skills learned into my regular photography. I think the most important thing is acceptance of the original crop. Framing the scene properly is what I should expect myself to do before pressing the shutter.
