With this photo, taken this morning, I complete my second 365 full year, with at least one photo actually taken each day
I did my first "365" full year from August 2017 to August 2018, experiencing a lot of various photo techniques (color, b&w, macro, street, landscape, abstract, still life, etc). It was a year of discovery into the photography world. I appreciated all the inspiration from other 365ers and relied on the various challenges to try new things.
For this second year, I tried to keep a more consistent approach focusing mainly on color street photography, using mainly my Ricoh GRiii with a 28mm fixed lens, and from time to time my Fuji x-t2 with either an equivalent 35mm or 50mm lens. I appreciate both cameras. They create a different experience.... I use the Ricoh for more spontaneous shot (i have it almost always with me). And the Fuji when I try to "build something" with my photos (e.g. during workshop, travel, or photo walks & session).
I still have the impression that i do "more serious" photography with Fuji, as I pay more attention to the framing, composition, light, etc. I'm still a bit in-between with the Ricoh. It is more intuitive... but i'm still not there. With the Ricoh, I would like to see myself like the character in the "Perfect Day" movie (taking picutre of trees, a leaves, a reflection, the sky... anything that brings a serene emotion in the daily life). it would be a much more poetic approach. I might try this in the coming days/weeks, now that i'm "free" from my "street photography" approach for this last year :-)
Many thanks for all you comments, favs and encouragement during that year.
I will certainly continue taking photo regularly (its not easy to stop)) and might also decide to restart an new 365 in a few year, but now I’ll try to concentrate more in editing and printing (and possibly exhibiting) some photos,
Your photos are a delight to see and I always look forward to them. Congrats on your second full year of daily images. You did a great job! It will be good to see you any time on here if you come in for a look around and if you decide to return at any point. Viel Glück und Erfolg!
Congratulations, your images are always striking and I'm interested in your thoughts on the different cameras. I have become almost solely reliant on my phone.
