I was thinking of starting a new project. Where I will take a picture of the same place once a month for a year and eventually comprise a series of photographs demonstrating the changes in that scene. I'm having a difficult time trying to find a suitable place. I generally want a place that is going to have a few people in it and a place that will have noticeable seasonal changes also. Has anybody done this? I'd love to see your results...
Ok, I've done a whole load of shots of the same bench in Trafalgar Square since last September, pretty much guaranteed to get people in a spot like that. I actually live in Leeds and have been trying to find something similar but not found it yet! Good luck with your project!
I did this with the field, but only for two months. Really fascinated to watch it change, and so quickly! I must get down there again soon as the crops are now all dried and ready for harvesting!
This is a really fun project -- I did this out of our bedroom window for a spring season and got four very different photos! This was before 365, you can see it on my Flickr page:
I've been taking a photo of the same tree outside my house every month. The original idea was to take it from exactly the same spot - but I started to get bored with that, so have been taking it from different angles! lol
I have done quite a few, not posted here though. One is of a bus station, same day of the week same hour through out a year. A bench in the park, certain place in the park, the gardeners in the park in the boat cleaning the lake, a certain yard with a tree I pass by often, the view from my kitchen window with the Margosa tree (that alas fell and is not there any more), and some more. I love such series and the subtle changes
ooh what a fab idea,i take a lot of pictures from my front doorstep(it's great for sunsets in the spring and seeing the snow on the field in winter) so i might endeavor to do one pic from there each month,to carch the changes in the trees, cars parked,people walking the dog etc,it also means that at least once a month i don't have to think about what my picture will be for the day as it will be already set,i shall start it on the first of august as there is a 1st every month without fail ;)
@rich57 have you found the steps by the building in the centre? Brain is shot and can't remember what it is, there's statues in the square, a huge chessboard, it's not too far from the General Infirmary .
@voodoochild Oh yeah that's outside the library and art gallery. Posted a couple of shots from that area recently. Hmm, might just go back and look for a spot. Cheers!
Thanks everyone. I'm so amazed how much this thread has really taken off it's nice see all of your wonderful photos and everyone's different take on the idea. How can I not be inspired now! Time-lapse, yes. Has anyone ever created a time-lapse video, that would be so cool! Sorry if I missed anyone out on the reply too. Got dizzy scrolling up and down haha. Thanks again everyone! xx
