I am going through that jaded spell on 365, where I search for what to do each day and my shots are a bit lame and samey. This is the 3rd time I've shot on this background in the last week.
A frustrating day, 2 hours sorting out cricket trophies and 2 hours sat in Carphone Warehouse trying to unravel the data contract they set up incorrectly for my IPad last week aaargh!!
Now, I am going to shamelessly for one day only copy @happypat who posts three good things about her day. I like that.
1. I have had a glass of this gorgeous red wine.
2. I am just about to go downstairs and make this my second glass.
3. I've still got 8 bottles of it left.
I like the reflection. So, I lack inspiration, but, uninspired as it is, I like the way this has turned out.
Thanks to Ben and Rebecca for holding diffuser and background
@photos222@soboy5 Thank you both. Yes, it is a beautiful Pinot Noir from Burgundy, and it will age beautifully ove the next 4 or 5 years. 09 was a glorious year and I have enough from various estates in Burgundy and Bordeaux to keep me into old age!!
I know the feeling you describe, but I am impressed by the solution. What a superb shot and what a nice reflection indeed. From time to time I fiddle with glasses and off camera flash and one day I hope to be able to make shots like this.
I'm with you on this! I forgot all about 365 until 8.00pm and had to do a half hearted attempt - which your's definitely isn't! Oh - must pour myself a glass of vino...
I bet it has all gone by now 10.15pm ....sleep well ! The same tomorrow night too as your three good things sound ongoing!!!!! I bet you feel better already listing all that wine you have in store Sean!!!
I ran out of inspiration about 100 shots into the project! Some of the challenges help to restore mojo and inspiration again.... This is a classic photo beautifully executed, despite your protestations to the contrary!
It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it, eh? ;) Seriously though, it is a good image, well-executed. I like the reflection of the wine glass in the side of the bottle. Inspired or not, it's a good shot. I know what you mean about lack of inspiration lately -- thankfully I feel like I'm getting a bit of a second wind this month. But sometimes it's sooo frustrating!
@jackie8 Thanks Jackie ;)) It's tough, but so far I have managed to take a shot every day. Some days sort themselves out, but the monday to friday shots are getting tougher.
@reva haha Reva. Yeah, I managed it, though it was tough. On eof the rare evenings when I sat down and watched TV!! I'm pleased to hear you have a second wind. Can you send some over here please!
A great photo, it turned out well! I'm having a really bad week 365 wise too! I think it's a combination of being back at school, dull days and it getting dark early! I feel like giving up but I won't after I've made it this far, hehe!
@roachling Exactly my sentiments Louise. I won't give up, and I will take a photo every day. Roll on the weekend/conker season/Halloween/Bonfire Night/Loughborough Fair etc!
I think you have a lovely shot here - go have the second glass.
