Favorite picture of your project January 26-February 1 and Why

February 2nd, 2013
Post your favorite photo of your own project from this past week to share with those that may not otherwise see it. Lets also put WHY or WHAT about it you like.
There were some really great photographs last week. It is fun to see what you like of your posts as it is not always what everyone else chooses.


There are two easy ways to add pictures on to the discussion.
The first is a full size photo: 1) Click on your favorite photo and bring up its page. 2)Look at the right side of your monitor, and go to the word SHARE (it is below tags) 3) go to the box and copy the long address 4) Come back to the discussion, and then paste.
The second is to have a smaller file size so to keep the site from getting overwhelmed. http://365project.org/discuss/general/1323/how-to-adding-an-image-in-a-discussion.
February 2nd, 2013
Because after standing out in the cold it came out as I wanted.
February 2nd, 2013
This is the shot that got me wanting to get back into the swing of things after a long a layoff.

February 2nd, 2013
This one because i finally achieved the low light and black background & because his expression is too cute!

February 2nd, 2013
February 2nd, 2013
Having had a poor few weeks, mostly going through the motions, it has to be this one.

I really like this building by the canal outside work. I also really like it when different colour lights 'meet'. This shot has both of these elements - the warm artificial light shining through the window contrasting to the cold natural dusk light tonight; The graffiti on the tatty, but serviceable corroding corrugated iron wall.

February 2nd, 2013
This one, because i just but my first DSLR this week and this shot is from day 3 when i started shooting in aperture priority mode, and i love how i can play with the dof. And of course the tulips are beautiful :P

February 2nd, 2013
This one without a doubt, it was one of those where everything just fits into place, even happier that it's sooc :-)


February 2nd, 2013
This one, as I achieved exactly what I was going for - selective focus and dof.

February 2nd, 2013
This one as it ended up being an awesome consolation shot. I went hoping to get sunrise pics and the fog rolled in so I ended up with this instead and it made the PP so that was great.


February 2nd, 2013
February 2nd, 2013
Mine would be this one: my first street shot in 7 years.

February 2nd, 2013
It has to be my eagle shot...easy choice this week!

February 2nd, 2013


I like the contrast of the soft fabric with the smooth hard glass. The monochrome is not from processing . . .
February 2nd, 2013
Finally got a descent pic of a Carolina Wren. I really liked the lighting on this with the snow in the background..

February 2nd, 2013

Because even in -15 below temps, hubby and I can still laugh and embrace our life!
February 2nd, 2013
I had two this week that I really liked, but I have to go with this one since we finally got a glimpse of sunshine!

February 2nd, 2013
Mine was this because A) I LOVE the Maine italian sandwich and B) because it was supposed to be kind of silly but it ended up getting a few faves. (Turns out people just wanted to save it for the recipe. lol!) - I think you should try one.
February 2nd, 2013
This one, just because I'm pleased with the processing.
February 2nd, 2013
'Off with his head!' :)

February 2nd, 2013
February 2nd, 2013
February 2nd, 2013
love the colors, and i think is my best selfie :)
February 2nd, 2013
Because it's my first Danbo, and it's a little on the bad side :)

February 2nd, 2013
February 2nd, 2013
I really liked the stark contrast in this shot of our new-fallen snow. This is not a black and white photo but the colors, as rendered.

February 2nd, 2013
For once, this is kind of a hard decision.... It's a tie between this:



Because it was just kind of a "blah" idea I had, and I ended up loving the background blur and the one reflection off of an unfocused bead.

And then:


My entry for the Get Pushed 28. I liked it because of the gold tones and the fact that it wasn't incredibly over-exposed like a lot of longer shutter speeds I try to use in daylight. :D
February 2nd, 2013
I only have three (completed a 365 in 2011, so not taking photos every day anymore), but this is definitely the best of the bunch!

February 2nd, 2013
Sometimes, things just fall together well ...
February 2nd, 2013
This was my favorite because it was such a surprise to find a daffodil growing in my garden here in January.
February 2nd, 2013
Because we had a little bit of sun in the middle of so many grey days.

February 2nd, 2013
I think that it would have to be this one because A)I'd been lusting (as a commenter put it) for months over the possibility of the shot and B) Because getting it was one of the most embarrassing, silly stories that have happened to me with my photography thus far...that and being found killing a snowman by my neighbor. I'm a mess! This was taken for the light and shade theme.
February 2nd, 2013
Tough choice this week but I think I have to go with this one. I am so happy with how it came out.
February 2nd, 2013
This one because it was warm enough to finally head out for a walk and enjoy the snow coming down.

February 2nd, 2013

I just liked this one :-)
February 2nd, 2013
I like taking eye shots but the color of my eyes are so dark that my pupils are not visible. But here, I was able to get just the right amount of sunlight . I also love the bokeh that was created. The best part is that this photo is SOOC.

February 2nd, 2013
Bev
I'm going with this one because it reflects my mood today:

February 2nd, 2013
February 2nd, 2013
I really enjoyed photographing this little guy, he was so cute and animated.


February 2nd, 2013
This one makes me smile.

February 2nd, 2013
this one because I love how the darkness of the trees really make the barn stand out, and that I finally got a good shot of this barn (the location is a heavy traffic area usually, thanks to the weather, there was less traffic than usual - yay!)
February 2nd, 2013
I think they are cute little birds :)
February 2nd, 2013
I like this because I almost deleted it. I decided to play with it a bit before I tossed it and desaturated it. Suddenly, I loved it!

February 2nd, 2013


This was taken on the 22nd in Maui on top of the Haleakala volcano at sunset but posted this last week when we got home. This is not manipulated at all. I am in love with this shot - probably because I drug a tripod across the ocean from Ohio to HI and hiked in conditions that I would have told you were beyond my ability to see what I saw and get this shot. This is from my first real try at sunsets and using a polarizing filter. I know I have a lot to learn but I am still in love with this shot and will probably have it printed.
February 2nd, 2013
As I was driving by these fields (I think they are cranberry fields??), I pulled over to take a picture of the sunset with the fog that was rolling in....and I noticed two deer!! One would stand at the top of the path and keep watch while the other ate, then they would switch. It was just a great moment to be able to sit and relax and watch....and take pictures!

February 2nd, 2013
I'm changing my mind to my newest photo :)
February 2nd, 2013
@dlaxton I can see why this is your favourite from the last week: it's brilliant.
February 2nd, 2013
Ed
Mostly for the socks ...

February 2nd, 2013
I loved how the icicles were draping from the branches.

February 2nd, 2013


Not much to pick from this week, but liked the simplicity of this
February 2nd, 2013
I love this one for a couple of different reasons. The first being, I am addicted to trees. I love everything about them. I especially find the bare branches of winter in silhouette pleasing. Secondly, I recently started manipulating images a bit to come up with photos-as-abstract-art. The look of this one, thanks to the streaks that were in the sky, came out pretty cool looking. These look like monochrome kaleidoscopes to me.

February 2nd, 2013
I just loved the way this turned out, the contrasts and the light catching the wisps of the wishy.
February 2nd, 2013
I had some fun shoots this week...but this one is my fave I think

February 2nd, 2013
My first attempt at a "staged" shot:

February 2nd, 2013
Because snow isn"t so commun in that part of France, only few days and not even every winters. And because on sundays we get up early to feed and take care of horses. and beacause this picture is sooc from the car while we were going to visit the horses. oh and afso because it's "the blue hour" !

February 2nd, 2013
This one. Eventually.
February 2nd, 2013
it was something his mother suggested as she had seen a similar shot, I was a bit dubious about the idea, but I think it sort of works :-)

February 2nd, 2013
The start of film february:
February 2nd, 2013
Daunting look!



February 2nd, 2013


Love how you can still tell she's smiling =)
February 2nd, 2013
SHRIMP BOATS, because it takes me back to our trip to Cabo San Lucas and particularly to this morning and how magnificent the skies were.
February 2nd, 2013
This one is my favourite as I got a clear shot of the moon.

February 2nd, 2013
Mel
This is my favourite, because my partner HATES having his photo taken... I thought he'd hate this one, but actually no - it's now his fb profile pic, so I figure he must be happy with it too.
February 2nd, 2013


February 2nd, 2013
I think this is my best moon shot so far - hand-held (no tripod), and SOOC other than slight crop and frame.

February 2nd, 2013
I liked the how the processing gave it a canvas effect and of course, it's always great to see the 2 hawks together.
February 2nd, 2013
I love the colours and focus of this one

February 2nd, 2013
February 2nd, 2013
I like this one because it was a quick snap as he looked round. I was taking landscapes. It ended up as both portrait and landscape :)
February 2nd, 2013


I know, I know people don't really love pictures of others babies. But she's mine and she's just so sweet.
February 2nd, 2013
I like trying to bring the best side out of what would usually be passed by without a thought ...

February 2nd, 2013
My own fav of the week is



I just love the white on white high key, something I had not done before
February 3rd, 2013
Mine would have to be this one:

I haven't done a proper HDR photo that's come out well before, so i'm proud of this one.
February 3rd, 2013
I liked how this turned out to be more 3D than 2D (to me anyway).

February 3rd, 2013
This one, because it is silly...

February 3rd, 2013
I saw the reflection before I took the photo, and although the beach was packed with people for a surf carnival, I managed to get this child sitting alone.
February 3rd, 2013
This one for me because besides putting a lot into the shot, it evokes all kinds of interpretations, and got 72 Favs:

February 3rd, 2013
I was really pleased with this photo. It wasn't planned. I was driving along a strange road and saw the sunrise there, waiting to be captured!


February 3rd, 2013
It has to be this one - for getting me onto the PP for the first time. But apart from that, I had SO much fun taking shots that evening (even forgetting about the devastation the fire was causing) and got home exhilarated with about 300 shots (most of which I deleted immediately!)

February 3rd, 2013
Jo


This one because patience and luck paid off, he is in focus and looking at me!
February 3rd, 2013
Because I mainly shot birds this week, so this made for a nice change
February 3rd, 2013
February 3rd, 2013
This is a self portrait. It's me sitting at my piano. I like this shot because piano is my life, and it captures it. I am a pianist and I plan on making a career out of it! :)

February 3rd, 2013
February 3rd, 2013
This one because I love her beautiful eyes!

February 3rd, 2013
I like this one from this past week. I had 3 that were excellent I think and made for a tough choice but I liked the lighting/shadow and dark back ground with a touch of color.
February 3rd, 2013
Because it is such a crucial part of who I am now and what the focus of my last week has been. It has been hard to make myself go out and take pictures when all I wanted to do was stay in bed and hide from the anniversary we didn't want to be celebrating.
February 3rd, 2013

Just love the blues and greens in this photo :)
February 3rd, 2013
This sunset shot. It was a fabulous sunset and completely SOOC.
February 3rd, 2013
Everything just came together ... Mist-Light-Refraction ...
February 3rd, 2013


I like the blue of the bird against the blue sky with a touch of autumn colour from the leaves. And it was taken in my garden, didn't have to go looking for him.
February 3rd, 2013
My kids on their first day of school - it took a lot to get them to give each other a cuddle AND smile, so although it's not a perfect photograph, I like it best for those reasons
February 3rd, 2013
Mel
Easily this is my favourite for ever for ever, cause it looks exactly how I imagined
February 3rd, 2013
because it's the only food photo I've taken that looks vaguely professional!
February 3rd, 2013
This one. because it was the only serious one all week.
February 3rd, 2013
February 3rd, 2013
not the best, but it was my favorite of the week.

February 3rd, 2013
Boo


Because this was taken when everyone was happy and healthy and before the children got sick and hospital visits were needed. Been a bit of a stressful week, nice to look at and smile.
February 3rd, 2013


Its this one for me as I got to try lightpainting for the first time, I then went round a friends house and with another friend we tried more light painting in her garage with sparklers and torches, I've never laughed so much in my life!
February 3rd, 2013

This was taken on the penultimate day of completing the year. Best viewed large, it really sums up my love of the pure, strong colour and pattern in nature.
February 3rd, 2013
It wasn't my best week but I love the sentiment behind this shot! It was fun to make too!

February 3rd, 2013
I like this one as it was a gorgeous morning to stop for a photo on my way to work:

February 3rd, 2013
I like this one because it's type of shot I'd like to capture more often. It's out of context and makes you look at it twice.
February 3rd, 2013
Because he's fast asleep dreaming of sausages I think!!!!

February 3rd, 2013
this shot because it made me smile, and i love the clours
February 3rd, 2013


This is my favorite, i cant explain why
February 3rd, 2013


this cos it was my first time taking shots in a simulated studio environment
February 3rd, 2013
I like this shot because it came it pretty clear and he's a regular visitor to my feeder and backyard. I just think that he's a beautiful bird.
February 3rd, 2013
Jim
Just liked the soft colors and the way this one came out
February 3rd, 2013
I like this one and it also made the PP so other people must have liked it too

February 3rd, 2013
We happened to stumble upon a BIG birthday party in NYC quite by accident... I didn't even notice the "100" in the windows till I looked at the shot later (at the moment I took it, I was just trying to capture the scene while some nice police officers were ushering me off the stairs)

February 3rd, 2013

This one, because It's only the second time I've photographed a person with the intention of editing it for photography purposes and I'd only taken about 5 shots in total, yet it seems to relay the story in his eyes.
February 3rd, 2013
I like the processing with this shot. I loved the feeling of it.

February 3rd, 2013
February 4th, 2013

Mine is this shot I got of a titmouse eating a seed.
February 4th, 2013
"Gimme Your Hands Cause You're Wonderful" This was quite fun to set up (is a selfie), and represents something important emotionally for me ....
February 4th, 2013
Because getting them both to smile/laugh at the same time is the biggest challenge I face!

February 4th, 2013
Might be a bit overdone but I like this one because it marked the completion of my first year on 365
February 4th, 2013
I loved these doggies having fun at the beach:
February 4th, 2013
Someone I know has a coffee/book shop. They have a small stage and music many nights. Since it is approaching Valentine's Day he did "An Imperfect Tribute To The Goddess" Clint brought his 13 year-old daughter for a song.

February 4th, 2013
I've had this one saved as a filler and used for today's photo-- pretty happy with how it came out.

February 4th, 2013
Probably this one, since I learned a lot about grey scale mapping and used custom maps to significantly improve the shot.
February 4th, 2013
I had a really good week, but I think this color version really turned out well and I'm very pleased with it.

February 4th, 2013
Australia day :)
February 4th, 2013
This was a filler from earlier in the month, but it still is one of my very favorites. I got off the bus early and walked toward town and the morning light was wonderful on the local train station. I love the lines of the light on the windows and the trains.
February 4th, 2013
This is my fave, just like the perspective & fog!
February 4th, 2013
This was my favorite for the week, because I had my camera setup on a tripod taking shots of the fog on the water when this kayaker, without warning, emerged out of the fog at the perfect time.
February 4th, 2013
Probably this one. My very first time splash shot.
February 4th, 2013
February 4th, 2013
Quite like the water drip on this picture....



February 4th, 2013
This one, because when I saw the little girl I got this series in my head. The only regret is that it's none of my children...

February 4th, 2013
My telephoto lens is manual focus, so it is fun to get an action shot that is just right. And, I loved the subject of medieval warriors at practice.
February 4th, 2013


This is my favourite because I turned a ordinary shot into something more.
February 4th, 2013

Has to be this one. A fantastic reminder of the few days we spent in Marrakech!
February 4th, 2013
I love this one because I didn't even see the person in the wayyy back crossing the tracks until I got home :)

February 4th, 2013
This was a tough week to choose from as there were several shots I really like, but this one just tugs at my heart the most. There are so many emotions it evinces...patience, trust, love, gratitude to name a few!
February 4th, 2013
End of project shot!

February 4th, 2013
February 4th, 2013
Because the moon was only visible for a minute, literally. Had I not had my camera ready, I'd have missed the whole thing.

February 4th, 2013
Because it was a quick opportunistic shot, and because someone suggested a seasonal series....so this will be my new favourite tree :)

February 4th, 2013


I took this while visiting a wildlife refuge. Most animals were behind fencing so I couldn't get good photos, but this one turned out well and he/she had such a cute face.
February 4th, 2013


This is my favorite pic of the last week because it is very difficult for me to shot the cat.
February 4th, 2013
I caught this one with ambient light, which beat any of the artificial lighting techniques that I tried that night. This one also got some good play over on Crystal Head Vodka's Facebook timeline.
February 4th, 2013
Love this one of my daughter and husband coloring together even though it's not the best technically, but I just think it's precious.

February 5th, 2013


It seems Retro and Futuristic Steampunk Scifi?
February 5th, 2013


because she's actually awake!
February 5th, 2013
I'm surprised to be saying this photo of the chairs turned out to be a surprise favorite in that I thought I was posting it only as a "best I could do on a day entirely spent in the basement of a building, attending a professional conference" but the comments from the 365 community have helped me see a better appreciation for it!

February 5th, 2013
This is my favorite shot which I took of the Singapore Flyer. Reminds me of the rock concerts I love going to...

February 5th, 2013


This is my favorite photo because it was a good memory.
February 5th, 2013
I think this one. My first venture away from the house with the camera since I sprained my ankle.

February 5th, 2013
This was a shot I really had in mind even before I went to Malaysia; I was really glad to find a fishing community and be able to wade out to a boat and get this shot on a really sunny day:

February 5th, 2013
This shot is so completely different from what I usually do, but I was having fun 'breaking the rules'.
February 5th, 2013
Amy
This was mine this week. I know it's me, and there's probably something a bit uncool about picking a picture of yourself, but I enjoyed taking it :P


February 5th, 2013
This is my favorite because I'd never seen ice floes up close. They're really cool!
February 5th, 2013


This one was a challenge for myself. I am picking an item quickly, and then devising a shot with that item. I find it challenges you to think creatively, quickly lol!
