Actually this is in response to the Get-pushed-10 Tilt Shift photography. This is my first go and I have some potential good ideas - we'll see.
My Challenge:
Jenn: "Ok Mrs!! How about tilt shift! Give www.tiltshiftmaker.com a try...very easy. Looks like you're pretty rural, so I think the challenge for you would be to get up high!!"
@shutterbugger Here is my first attempt at the Tilt Shift Get-Pushed Challenge. I think this is going to be fun but it is a learning curve. I have an idea to combine tilt shift and forced perspective together - will see what happens. I will try some other shots during this week.
Kathy, I don't know anyone taking this project as serious as you do! You really try everything! This nice shot reminds me of the mini model trains we had at home when I was young. Can hardly believe this is a live size place. Well done. Don't forget to make a 365 book after you finished this project. I will do too. Maybe this is the largest project you've ever done or will do. For me it's about an hour a day, so about 400 hours, so 10 weeks FTE! And in this book you definitely will see quality going up and up and up. Two months to go for you, three for me!
@djepie Thank you Jaap - I never thought about making a book but I think that is a fantastic idea. My first day was actually December 13th so my 365 milestone shot will be December 12th. Do you plan to stay on 365 by either continuing or at some capacity?
@myhrhelper Okay, then we almost started the same date. For sure I will stop with this daily posting, just posting when I have nice shots! On working days I don't want / can go out for photographing each day and I think I shot most places close to us. And also working every evening on new tricks and trials isn't always tempting. I definitely love photography and think I improved my skills during this year, but it costs too much energy and time (which cannot be spent on family or other hobbies/activities) to continue this with a second year. That's why I admire you. And the results are clear, you improved so much. Whatever you will do with this project, those skills will go with you for the rest of your live. Do you plan to continue 365?
I just came searching to see if you've tried anything. I must pay more attention to my notifications! Wonderful tiltshift! Was it fun? I'm dying to see how your forced perspective ts turns out! What a great idea! Now I want to have a go!!
@djepie I will probably continue a second year but I will not look at it that I have to take a photo every day - but couple times a week. If I have good photo sessions I will be able to fill the rest of the week with some shots. This year I did most days but there were some days I really liked the photos and thought I would post two shots from that day. I usually end of taking a photo a day but I don't always post them. Perhaps even if you don't officially continue you could casually continue - I like receiving the feedback and you are one person who will offer that freely - you don't worry too much about hurting my feelings and that is what has really helped me learn. It really is the people on this sight that has helped me learn. Also, for me the amount of money I had to spend to buy a DSLR would be a crime if I didn't learn how to use it, so I set out to learn it. My camera has an HDR feature, it will take two shots and combine them. There are a lot of features on my camera that I want to learn how to use. Thank you so much Jaap!
