One for the newbs - One month down Pt.2

January 28th, 2013
Hi again,

Thought it would be nice to share our favorite photos from our first month on 365. Doesn't have to be the most viewed/fav'd/commented, just the one you are most proud of or means the most to you. Tell us a little bit about it as well.

i know there are other threads about your favorite of the week but this is different - honest! This is just for us newbs and it covers an entire month - there you go, completely different!

Actually trying to choose is really difficult. Good luck.

Ok, the image I'm most proud of this month is



I'm most proud because it was set as a get pushed challenge and it was something I had never attempted I had seen the term 'Bokeh' but did not really know what it was. The image took a lot of takes to get it how I felt it was adequate

This is mine. As i said not the most viewed shot i have taken. I chose it because it was a candid moment that i managed to catch on camera. The set up shots are fun and rewarding when they come right but to me there is nothing like the feeling of capturing the perfect moment
January 28th, 2013
This is my top 3 of favorites this month:

I love the colours in this one. I was in a hurry to get to work but couldn't resist the beautiful sky and had to take my camera out.




I like the setting from this photo, the boats that are frozen in the water.




And ofcourse this lovely sunset

January 28th, 2013


This is my favorite, because it took me about an hour to get the setup right :)
January 28th, 2013


so far..this is mine. I really like the contrast in the blacks and whites. Besides the fact that he looks just too adorable and those lashes are astonishing:) it was taken in high contrast and i liked the results
January 28th, 2013


OK, OK, I know I chopped off Levi's head, but there's something about this photo that I love. So many legs off the ground, the fact that if you view it in large you can see Jess's eye intent on the green rope, the fact that this was the first time that Levi, who we've had for years, and Jess, who we've had for weeks, properly played together. For me, this is my 'happy memory' photo of the month :)

Probably the barn owls I captured - I was really happy at how clear the shot came out. These were at a wildlife park

January 28th, 2013
I finally figured out how to, or really just had the time to, photograph a snowflake...

I like this one a lot at the moment... I like how it feels sort of '50's. I meant to take the clothes against the sky, but my boy looked mighty cute in the basket...

This picture has a clarity about it that I like.
January 28th, 2013
@serpantmedia love the bokeh. I have that on my list.

Lots of good ones on here.

this is mine
I feel like I can do this better but it's my first long exposure shot and I've always wanted to be able to do this.

January 28th, 2013
We were at the airport during a layover and my son was watching the planes leave on the runway. I love that his reflection was in the window and the expression on his face as he watched the planes.
January 28th, 2013
hello again George :)
My fav of the month has to be Matilda's wellies at the beach :) It was a grey cold day, but her wellies made it a brighter day :)

January 28th, 2013
@aponi thanks :) I like your LE water shot its my fav subject
January 28th, 2013
Jo
Turned out so much better than I had anticipated. I grabbed the flower from the garden and took a bunch of shots and to my surprised I ended up with something I really liked.

January 28th, 2013
This is my fav from my first month. Was so lucky to be in the right place at the right time - 15 minutes later it was all gone :)
January 28th, 2013
This is mine however I don't feel I have yet had a stunner, still working on that

January 28th, 2013
One of the first photos I took after deciding to learn how to use my camera. I like the warm colors backed by the cool fog and faded trees.
January 28th, 2013

First post of a picture in a reply, hope it works.
I like this because it's simple and very " of the season". The picture is quiet, looks calm, but the children weren't!
January 28th, 2013
I think this is my one of my favourite ones because I have started to learn more about composition and lines since starting this project. I also love the trees against the snow and it has lovely memories being out with friends for a lovely walk in the middle of nowhere.





January 28th, 2013
This shot sort of sums up the change in my attitude to photography. On a foggy morning I took my camera with me to a hospital appointment - I'd never have dreamt of such a thing before Christmas! After the appointment I noticed the wonderful light and searched for a photograph!

January 28th, 2013
This is mine, love my cat staring right at the camera, claws dug in, the fence

January 28th, 2013
This is mine I think - first one of the project but the location was just beautiful

January 28th, 2013

So I think I followed the instructions to post a photo but somehow it hasn't turned out how I expected. Any clues for a newb who still doesn't have a clue?!
Anyway if you don't mind clicking on the link, I chose this shot because of the colours , reflections and it is just as it was, no processing.
January 28th, 2013
This is the photo I like best from my first month because of the early morning light on the hoar frost.

January 28th, 2013
This is mine, day 5. I was out to take some shots of a fire. This firefighter had just stepped out of the burning house, and into the winter air. You can se the steam around his head, I like this one.
January 29th, 2013
I hate to see a missed opportunity to get it on the threads...so here you go...... @ccb

Next time @ccb choose a pic, and scroll down to the right next to the share button. There is a place where you can copy and paste the link you need to all these threads.


@ccb
January 29th, 2013
Couldnt choose between this and the frost on mirror but i love just the simplicity of this one.. and thank you for a fantastic first month!

Rebecca we have those wellies - they have been passed down through all of our children. We also have the frogs and the bumble bees!
January 29th, 2013
@siwainastromoy
wow what an amazing shot!! Nice capture!
January 29th, 2013
@welcometocarolworld
Where was your photo taken? It reminds me very much of the Rhone, the houseboats and plane trees.
January 29th, 2013
I like this one because it's of something that most people would not give a second glance.
January 29th, 2013


This is a favorite of mine! I like how you can see all the details in the mushroom!!
January 29th, 2013


This is my favorite. I just barely got this shot. Was stupid and tried to get this with a monopod. Yeah right! I am glad that I didn't miss it.
January 29th, 2013
It actually belongs to @ccb Ceeceebee couldn't get her picture posted, so I did it for her......It says Canal du midi.

This is my fav as it shows my dog in a completely calm state. Perhaps it is a face only a "mom" could love!
January 29th, 2013
@luka365 Wow -- a beautiful shot!
January 29th, 2013
This was my most challenging just because it is hard for me to ask a stranger for permission to photograph. So, it's a favorite for me because I did ask, and I am moderately satisfied with how it came out.

January 29th, 2013
@siwainastromoy Incredible capture -- the steam and the look on his face.
January 29th, 2013
Because I love his adorable feet and the dof is perfect :)
January 29th, 2013
I really like this one of mine. Not the most viewed or faves but its still my favorite. I just like how its the reflection in the water that has the color and the branches appear to be black and white when in most cases the opposite is true in reflections. Anyways, i just really like it for some reason

January 29th, 2013
Wow looking at everyone's pictures makes me feel like mine are lousy in comparison.



I like this one because each streak of light is one of my friends running down the river waving a light. To me it's a reminder of the great times we had.
January 29th, 2013
Between two, but this won out. It was nice finding some color in the grey of the Pacific Northwest...

January 29th, 2013
There are some really amazing shots here. I really love what a warm and supportive community this is. I was actually thinking the same thing the other day.. what photo would I choose as my fav of the month. I still have 2 days to go, but I'm really happy with my shot from today & not sure I will top it.
I feel I have been learning so much already and this shot encapsulates some of the things I've been learning & I had to work for it a bit, chasing the bubbles around in my windy yard!
January 29th, 2013
I'm a newbie, too, and really enjoying the 365 project! I've loved seeing incredible photos, and thinking every day about my pictures. I was pleased with this shot that I took at sunrise looking across the Willamette River in Portland. I loved how soft and pink the city (and the train station) looks in the photo and how the reflection adds to the shot. I'm hoping the link works:
January 29th, 2013
Since starting, I have learnt how powerful a tool a camera is, and the only limit is your imagination!

January 29th, 2013
This cow is my favorite. Love the blue tags against the black and the look of curiosity.
January 29th, 2013
Another cow as well it might have not been the best taken but its the most interesting cos you dont see a real size replica of a cow in a garden especially a rainbow one in Australia

January 29th, 2013
Seriously wonderful 1st month for everyone! Bravo people :)

I choose this one 'cos I "MacGyver'd" a macro lens...with gaffa tape! Perhaps not something to do too often!


January 29th, 2013
I chose this one, because it still makes me smile when I see it - a happy, grinning magnolia bud, just waiting for spring to burst into life :


January 29th, 2013
I'm going with this one because it was the most fun and surprisingly easy. I could have shot smoke for hours. Its was so unpredictable and interesting.

January 29th, 2013
This snap of an exhibit at a paper exhibition, a book of sonnets made into roses. I was really pleased with the focus. I only really like 2 or 3 of my photos so far, I'm having a very slow start this year, but really trying to take something, anything, every day!

January 29th, 2013
@colie amazing photo. Really like it. Another idea to add to the archives to have a go at. This list is getting quite long!
January 29th, 2013
@jessfresh78 this is an amazing picture. The exhibition sounds interesting as well
January 29th, 2013
@welcometocarolworld
Thank you very much!

January 30th, 2013
@kklickr love your work, look forward to seeing your work through the year
January 30th, 2013
I'm continually amazed and inspired by everyone on this site. I will choose this one for myself. I was so excited about the focus and detail on these "frozen tears" off my table.

January 30th, 2013
Wow, it's almost February already! The past few weeks have been amazing and so, so inspiring. And I've got such wonderful feedback, thank you guys!

This one was a great find, I took a walk in a nearby cemetery and came across this slightly withered rose and a small angel ornament. Probably someone had had their own photoshoot session before me.

January 30th, 2013
@chanchiawei I just love this, and what a great story for it too!
January 30th, 2013
I would have to say my snowflake photo is my favorite so far :)

January 30th, 2013
@clmarksonlife What an amazing shot! I love it!
January 30th, 2013
@rishi Thank you! Love your snowflake photo too! Well done.
January 30th, 2013


I've been doing 365project for approx six weeks now and I am slightly obssessed with it, facebook is a thing of the past. I love it! This picture was my day two and it made the popular board so I am really proud of it! It was taken at a local country park near where we live, in England UK.
January 31st, 2013


Just finished my first 30 days. This was my favorite picture for the first month.
January 31st, 2013


I like the colors here and how candid it is. This is after a foul was called in a basketball game.
January 31st, 2013


I sporadically participated in the Planned-4-Jan Challenge, and one day's topic was Rainbow. As my collection here indicates, I have plenty of stuff that fits that topic. This photo came out just as I wanted.
January 31st, 2013
@plumtree500 wow hazel, thank you for the mention! I love your crystal chip & still wet shots :)
January 31st, 2013
@rishi thank you! your snowflake shot is really cool too. :)
January 31st, 2013
we all have a first month, not just the newbs.... here is my best fave from the first 31 days.

January 31st, 2013
Probably this one, although it's damn near impossible to choose!

January 31st, 2013
@bobfoto haha jumping on the bandwagon. Lovely shot
@jojackson i know exactly what you mean!
January 31st, 2013
I looked through all the pictures above, and I just have to say great job, everybody, on finishing your first month. I just finished my first month tonight, and I've enjoyed doing this quite a bit.

Looking back at my photos, I'd have to say this is my favourite picture. It was a hard shot to take, because of the angle I had to work with, but I was quite happy with the result.

January 31st, 2013
That is my favorite of the Januar 2013.
I like the colour.

January 31st, 2013
This is my fav from my first month...:
