Inspired By

January 17th, 2013
One of my favorite aspects of 365 is that inspiration abounds! We are such an eclectic mix; from diehard film users, to technogeeks, to point-and-shoot, to DIY camera junkies! From country to city, forest to swamp; every demographic is represented, and all approach their art from different angles. I can't think of a single day that someone's photo hasn't given me an idea, or driven me toward a technique I've been meaning to try.

Use this thread to catalogue; FIRST your shot, SECOND the shot that inspired you.

Me first!

Inspired by (most recently): Cathy @cathy366


NOW YOU GO!!

I just started 365 so I don't have anything to contribute yet but I love this thread!
January 17th, 2013
@jzpanda3 Welcome Jennifer! Maybe you'll be inspired by a shot you see here; you never know! :)
January 17th, 2013
Great thread! I'm going to look at photos differently now -- more directly thinking of ways a photo could inspire my own shots. Thank you!
January 17th, 2013

Jeff's barns and farms are beyond my scope, but they do set my bar high. He makes you think of the light.

The photo that inspired me by @gareauk1.
The subject matter is different, I was inspired to try a long exposure with light.

I was lacking a photo for the day when my Dad bought around some home grown blueberries. I had glimpsed @psychographer lovely blueberry photo on the Popular page and her photo inspired this photo from me :)

Inspired by this one from Justin @deliriousoul
January 17th, 2013
@grizzlysghost I, too, found myself inspired by you! Particularly your post on Jan. 3 about challenging ourselves.


I tried to take your advice. I had my first experiment with light painting. I had absolutely no idea how to do it when I woke up that morning, but by the end of the day I had decided it's great fun! Here's a shot from my very first try!


Thank you for the inspiration! I learned something new and I'm very grateful for how willing everyone in the 365 community is to share tips and encouragement.
January 17th, 2013
@melody2289 Outstanding Melody! I am SO pleased your challenging yourself! Way to go!
January 17th, 2013
I was inspired to buy green nail polish (in part to photograph it!):

@jodimuli Stacy is back posting as @guaranteed.
January 17th, 2013
@rockinrobyn Haha, thanks Robyn! I know EXACTLY what you mean about staying here all night! Looking through my photos, there are SO many inspired by others!
January 17th, 2013
I just now posted this one:



Inspired by @melody2289 (because I suspect she may have one almost exactly like mine) which is very strange because it is a rather rare item! :)


It would seem we've inspired each other; happens a lot around here! :)

January 17th, 2013
Mine


Inspired by a series of guitar shots by @seanoneill , this one being my favourite.

January 17th, 2013
Mine is a bit offbeat --- and a little self centered? Lol

I saw an old picture from my archives that i took more than a year ago and inspired me to take another one but of a different time. I had to take several shots to get the angle right and adjust it in photoshop to truly match the perspectives. This is my first attempt at this thing so im really stoked about the result. :)
January 17th, 2013
@bluebell Wow! Thank you so much. I shall go to work happy now :o) xx
January 17th, 2013
Great thread! I was inspired by the beautiful @smevvy to do a brave selfie. Here is her shot:

Inspired by @peadar


January 17th, 2013
Nice thread and fun to watch. I don't think I 'copied' from fellow 365'ers. I did use art a few times though. I don't think that counts.
January 17th, 2013

@jsorensenart @primitiveprobe Wow, thanks Jake, thanks Andreas. I'm sitting here at 7-20pm scratching my head about todays shot, and you have both just made my day.
January 17th, 2013
@allegresse awww I'm very chuffed :)

I've been lurking for a while trying to decide if I'll do another 365...and I think you may have made my mind up...

How do you say you were inspired by Michael Elliott @michaelelliott? I can't just pick one. . .because all of my nighttime Cincinnati shots owe at least their initial gem of inspiration to his wonderful NYC shots.



Here's one of Michael's that I can use!

January 18th, 2013
@gracej taught me the free lensing technique


And inspired me to do this
January 18th, 2013
@bk12racing Mike Schwandner's rusted gears:


Inspired me to do some close-ups too:
January 18th, 2013
@gabrielklee Okay, now I have to know...what in the heck is free lensing? Great shots, btw!
January 18th, 2013
@allegresse The original thread where this is explained is here: http://365project.org/discuss/general/13305/ever-heard-of-free-lensing

But in short, it means deattaching your lens OF THE CAMERA, and placing it in front of it loose to create special effects.
January 18th, 2013
@gabrielklee I see...thanks! Funny, I do that anway, but I didn't know it was a real thing.
January 18th, 2013
@allegresse oh photographers, like the biologists, love to name things.
So, every technique has its own name. :)
January 18th, 2013
Today I was inspired by @velina 's lovely morning coffee shot.



It reminded me that I had been wanting to photograph our pretty new coffee container -- a gift from my aunt. :)

January 18th, 2013
Did a smoke shot today inspired by @pammerritt

January 19th, 2013
My shot:


Which was inspired by Bonnie Lusted @kloud
January 19th, 2013
@allegresse Thank you so much! I am so happy I inspired you:) Your shot is wonderful!
January 19th, 2013
@gabrielklee hey thanks for sharing my photo!! btw, i actually have gotten a lot better at free lensing then i was this summer when i took that shot. i finally 'really figured it out' and now i use it all the time :)
