Endings

... and beginnings. Yesterday was the end of my 7th year as a member of the 365 project, today sees the beginning of my eighth year here.*
I am very appreciative of all the support I receive, a heartfelt thank you to you.

*I'm not very many shots into my 4th 365, though!

A great achievement! I love this image. Fav

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@dide Thank you, Dianne. I should perhaps say that I have only completed three full projects in that time! I do something connected with photography everyday though.

[gloria jones]

Congratulations! I enjoy your photos. This is a great capture of textures and shapes.

[Maggiemae]

By projects, I presume you mean challenges or a series of like shots? I'm in my 7th year and have never done one of those!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@maggiemae I don't do them either, Maggie. No, I've only done 3 complete 365s, not 7 (one for each year I've been here).

[Kahsia]

I just recently started following your project and have really enjoyed it. Congratulations on your achievement.

[Phil Howcroft]

this was your 1600th image too Alison, quite a milestone too.

A clever image to to celebrate the fact :)

[Sharon]

Admire your commitment

[Call me Joe]

Lovely tones and textures.

[Catherine Otley]

Really like this - one of those eye of the beholder ones - and it appeals to mine!

[Dione Giorgio]

Love the patterns and textures. Woodworking has been my hobby for many years and I love to see the different wood grain.

[Catherine Otley]

I have just gone back through your photos for the past year and read your article in Photokonnexion. I am inspired. I love abstract, too, and you have spurred me on to try to up my game. Now following your project.

[Jen Hudson]

Congrats Alison, so well done. Love this, lots of good mixed shapes, textures, colours and nice shadows and light. Great Crop to give this composition. Fav

[Angela]

Wow what an achievement, well done! Love these tones and textures.

[Ethel]

I just have to fave this familiar view at our place. Allison, you would go crazy with your abstracts if we let you loose in Michael's shed and where he has timber stacked outside. Also, I am impressed that you are pressing on after seven years.

[Netkonnexion]

Excellent image. Nice presentation and well lit. With a pattern shot like this I often recommend a break in the pattern to emphasis the continuity. But with this image that is not necessary since the broken planks make for the interest in the change of continuity. Nicely done.

8 years! thats awesome I'm at the beginning of my first great to see the dedication still alive after so many years!!!
Love this photo, great tones and composition!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@netkonnexion Thank you. I can't take credit for the light, it was just what was available.
I think there's more *lack* of pattern than there is pattern, really : different angles of the grooves in the wood, different colours, no pattern creatd by the way the colours are place, no uniformity in the shape of the pieces...
