so we're two days in and hopefully your subject hasn't started to get "old" for you yet 🙃...
i thought it might be fun to introduce your subject and explain why you chose it...
if you're wondering what the challenge is, the deets are here are below...
for me - i chose my bedroom windows... and there's some irony here... i didn't participate in this challenge last year... after it ended, i thought "dang - i should have played along using my bedroom windows as the subject"... i always like the shapes and glowy light they allow me to capture...
anyhoo i set myself a reminder for early March to play this year... and then in March i thought - well, that will never work because it'll still be dark by the time i get home most days limiting my options for taking a shot... and now here i am... mostly working from home... sigh...
I went with the Fern in the hallway. :) I think this spot has nice lighting, but I've been ignoring the photo potential. Excited to make a month of it!
I chose shadows. I love watching the light come in through the different windows in my home and I also wanted a reason to get out of the house and on to some of the lesser traveled trails and photographic spots near me. Yes, it's a variation of sorts on the theme but you know what they say...your project, your rules!
Thank you Northy! Like Ann, I varied my theme a bit, inspired by one of the first 365 projects. My kitchen counter sees a lot of activity. So every afternoon between 5:00 and 6:00, I will photograph whatever I have going on. It’s a great spot for natural light and afternoon shadows. It’s a stage, if you will and I will be photographing not just the subject but also the light as it changes.
Hi my subject is cutlery. I hope to be creative with high/low key, macro and different processing things I learn as I teach myself Affinity. I will occasionally do an "in the style of" those I can copy from here on 365!!
For what it's worth, my subject will be Danbo, but I'm already two days behind. But that's my intent! He's part of this group posted in March, and he's anxious to get started.
After featuring my Bradford Pear tree last year, I decided to use my umbrella as my subject this year. As in April showers bring May flowers. And wouldn't you know, a thunderstorm is predicted for tonight and way below average temperatures.
Wasn't going to do this challenge, but we got a new kitten just before lockdown. I'm finding I'm taking lots of photos of him anyway, so thought I might as well do a calendar month. So, introducing Percy
I went with my "home library" because while it is the most interesting feature of my house and has even been in an architectural magazine, I have never photographed it myself because it's always in use and completely cluttered with piles everywhere. They're purposeful and organized piles, quite friendly ones, but still, not photographically nice. So this is the month -- and maybe I will finally take time to organize and clean it as I go.
A Japanese man working with my husband gave me these dolls about 30 years ago. They have probably passed their use by date, but are still rather lovely. I am using them as my subject as I thought I just might enjoy finding 30 different things to do with them.
After much deliberation I decided that Skye would be the subject for my 30 days. She is always with me so hopefully I can get some candid pictures of her and not just the normal posed ones.
interesting seeing what people have chosen, as yet i cant decide, but i took more than 30 photos of a flower garden today so you might see a few of those, feels a bit like cheating though somehow.
thanks for setting this up northy! i've never done this challenge before and have gone with a loose theme of books as i thought anything narrower might be too restrictive for me in these days of restrictions ... so here's a whole load of them to start off ...
Didn't realise I was joining until the 2nd but then I saw this tree on some photo's I took that day and thought it might be the perfect subject. It forces us to go out every day. It's five minutes walk from our house
Decided to take my garden as my subject, since I don’t know eaxcly how much of it will be changed after the renovations of the house ...( kitchen extending into it)
My subject is a glass food storage container. I chose it because it's portable, fillable, cleanable, dirtyable, and replaceable if I break it. Photographing through it will create distortion. Most of the horizontal surfaces in the apartment are dark, so it will pop against them. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it will be a challenge to make 30 (or 15?) distinctly different images.
I decided to go with a loose material-theme of "cellulose" / "paper". So for me, the subject could range from toilet paper (yes, we still have some), over folded brochures to an easter molded pulp egg carton. However, I will try to implement this with different techniques, lenses and cameras, so that it asks for creativity and remains a challenge for me.
First time in this project. I have chosen this mini planter,to help me go through this stayathome period. I expect it to draw me out to the garden and take better care of little herbs I plan to put in there. Hopefully I will see progress both in photography and planting. Two hobbies combined!
so .. I’ve decided to give my vacuum cleaner some extra attention because it always tries to hide itself in dark, dusty forgotten corners. How sad.
So... first I had to hunt it down, so that’s why I’m starting this challenge a bit later:
So... I hope to come up with some clean shots. That must be possible because as a kick off I’ve tried to clean the vacuum cleaner. A totally new and not to be missed experience.
So... no time any more to vacuum clean the house because we’re in big business together, he and me. I’ll call him Jones. So sophisticated. So... I’ll make a start by blowing off the dust of my Nikon D90. I’ll go for it! ;)
My subject is a toy koala named JordanT how is going to hopefully give me some creative time doing some different photographic techniques.

Since it's spring in some parts of the world, I decided to do buds. New to 365Project so I hope I can keep it going.
