I have seen some of the Photo365 projects out there, in which photographers go out and take a photo a day for a year. I would like to do my own version, and with the New Year coming up, it seems like a good time to start. In the spirit of the focus of this blog, my version of Photo365 will center on light and lighting. There is so much interesting light out there, that I will have no trouble with subject matter… just with remembering to pack my camera. Maybe a new and better camera phone is in order.
I’ll look at natural light, theatrical light, lighting fixtures, sky, sun, shadow, darkness— whatever seems to jump out at me that day.
While I’m not going to begin officially until January 1, 2012, I have taken a couple ‘practice shots’ over the last couple days, so as a matter of introduction, here they are:
December 10, 2011: Charleston SC--Here's a shot taken outside of my apartment building. I love the cloudy sky obscuring the moonlight set up against the electric streetlamp.
December 8, 2011. College of Charleston, Charleston SC. From a photo session with my drafting lamp. I spent some time experimenting with various exposure settings and angles. The light source is a fluorescent tube.
