Required 365 Shots?

January 4th, 2012
My sister @egad and I are just over 300 photos into our projects and are starting to plan out our next couple months. As with many of you, the cold weather, early sunset and work schedules present some challenges! So we are looking to you for help.

We've decided to devise a list of "required" 365 shots we want to take before the project is over. In hopes to make sure we don't forget as well as to serve as inspiration on those days when it is lacking. I know I've seen a similar thread posted on here before and there were a lot of great ideas.

So I'm going to start with some I've done, some my sister's done and some I know we still want to do. Please feel free to contibute!

Multiplicity?

You can combine the first two and have "Fizzy Lifting Drink" (see the first Willy Wonka movie)

The BIG splash ! .... waterdrops/crowns are fun but nothing more satisfing than a big splash lol

@jasehoad Haha. Absolutely. No project would be complete without them!

@lluniau Totally forgot that one and haven't tried it yet! Thanks!

@dune1953 Now that looks like fun. Except all the burping :)

@flamez1 Only if you give us a tutorial. I had a hard enough time with little splashs!

@mcdougall ~ its just in the timing ! get a good helper and count them down n click lol ! ..... seriously its easy !

@mcdougall Nah, neither have I. I don't think I'd manage with Picasa/Picnik either! Both levitation and multilplicity are a bit overambitious for me I think...unless you have a Photoshop-free way of doing them?!

@lluniau Well you can do levitation without photoshop. Lots of jumping...it is good excercise. Here are 2 levtation shots done with just jumping

@flamez1 Maybe I will have to give it another try!
January 4th, 2012
@mcdougall What?! You were actually "in movement " in that top shot?!
January 4th, 2012
@lluniau I was. I did that one with a timer and some old fashioned jumping.
January 4th, 2012
Fabulous! How many attempts?!
IMO that's even more impressive than "normal" levitation shots!
January 4th, 2012
@lluniau Probably about 10-15. It was hard to figure out the timing of the camera, how to time the jump and making my face not look like I was jumping! I'm telling you...it was a really good workout!!

@lluniau Elin, I have paint shop pro (not an expensive purchase) and I finally today figured out the five steps for levitation edits. I tried the jumping and it helps if you look like you are walking off the edge of something (hence jumping up and out) @flamez1 yet again thanks for the encouragement to just start playing with all the edits
