the morning after

jackieR @30pics4jackiesdiamond my get pushed partner this week challenged "Could you take just one shot a day, with no repetition of subject, for 7 days and keep it SOOC? (You can crop and rotate!)"

this is the street i have to make a short walk to get to my bus stop in the morning. if you see the little orange at the end of the walkway, you will remember it from this photograph: http://365project.org/summerfield/365-still/2016-11-07 the horizon is not tilted, but the property slopes up and where you see a car on the upper right, that's where the building's outside parking is situated.

resized in camera to allow uploading on 365 as i don't want to abuse the site's limit per picture. no other adjustment was made in camera or out, so this is still pure sooc. this was shot in colour, not black and white so there's no selective colouring happening here.

now: i have no problem shooting and uploading sooc because i can plan my shots most of the time so that there is no need to have it adjusted or processed. also i am not one to back off from a challenge, but i feel that 7 days is quite a bit of a push; i would never ask anyone to dominate their albums for a week - it takes the fun out of the task. putting all 7 in a collage defeats the sooc requirement, because i believe that collage is a form of post processing. my health, my work and the holidays, the upcoming end of the year, and my other projects, all preclude me from fulfilling this task. i am on my 7th year so i don't have the need to take a photo everyday (unlike some lunatic in rochester, new york :-P) however, for you, i will do 3 and try for 4, it's more than half of the seven.

p.s. for the song title challenge too. this was the theme from "the poseidon adventure" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcLazPauA1c

also for the 52-week challenge; this week we are to photograph a symmetrical landscape. this methinks perfectly fits the bill.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond - here you go.

We had a little snow- not as much as this- so yours looks prettier. I think the three day run will be just fine. Although I'm sure you could have done 7 if you kept them to random things you just happen to see around you. Nice shot!

@olivetreeann - yeah but most of the time i'm too tired to do anything when i get home. my age is catching up on me. thank you, ann.

i like how it's almost black and white ;p is it still pretty-ish? or has it turned to slush like downtown?

@northy - i just looked out and it's still the same. i had to walk from bloor to queen this morning. with my hacking cough, i couldn't make it to union on foot, good thing by that time trains were running again but i arrived at work at 11:30. and i started my journey at 8. ttc- you love it or you hate it!

Looks like a long slog through the snow...good leading line in the path and the line of trees.

Lovely strong tug on your eyes

I like the dim wintery feel to this. (though doesn't sound like your journey was pleasant)

Vikki this is BEAUTIFUL. It looks treacherous though
Apologies for asking you to do a challenge you're not comfortable with. I know you're ver experienced on 365 (7 years, wow) and I've thought you did a few shots a day so might like to repeat how I started. Sorry. Jackie

:-P

@30pics4jackiesdiamond - no need to be sorry. i've done the shoot and post each day for the first 4 years. even done it with 2 albums running. these days with time being so short and scarce for anything, i just post one photo a day if i can help it, and at times i even skip a day. so will you accept the 4? :-)

@bill_fe - tee-hee-heee!

@summerfield This should be fun, not a chore so you do what you feel ok for you !!
However my hair is frizzy due to trying to get a panning shot in the drizzly rain today for your challenge :(

The epitome of winter! I like the pop of colour
December 13th, 2016
