365 photos from 2008.04.13 - 2009.04.12

In an attempt to improve my photographic skills I decided to take one photo a day that I feel is worth sharing publicly. This gallery will chronicle the project. I know this is going to be fairly tough to do, but I hope that I can turn it in to a habit. I promise not to back fill any days I miss.

2008.06.10 - I decided it was silly to not back fill if I had taken the picture on a day, but didn't get a chance to post it on the same day. So I am now back filling. I will comment on a current day picture if I add a back fill that same day.

Oliver Chong > 2008.06.26 - Day 75 : I took a few days off photographing for life and because I wasn't feeling very creative. I got this little Japanese toy at a store in Northampton, MA while I was still in college. The green guy's head moves side to side - powered by solar cells. For this shot I used overhead flash lighting.
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.19 - Day 68 : Irene started a new job on Monday so i got her some flowers. They provided for another nice organic shot. Jeremy always says I should use the story telling apertures more so here's another. I normally won't go above f/11 due to diffraction, but I tried a range of them. I couldn't discern any quality loss in the shot so I went with f/22. Another back fill. A bit of an artistic photo... of art.
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.18 - Day 67 : Irene's parents were kind enough to bring us some planters of herbs. Three BIG planters and two tomato plants. The lighting this evening was nice and diffuse, perfect for this shot. I really liked the contrasting textures and shapes. This is a 5 exposure HDR gone black and white. I have also edited my first back fill picture. I am starting with a photo from Elliot's graduation. Sometime soon I will get all those photos online.... or so I will keep telling myself.
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.16 - Day 65 : Other things have had my attention recently. This is a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) on the back of a hard drive. Unfortunately, the Celtics couldn't close out the series tonight so it's time to head home. Go Green!
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.12 - Day 61 : Just an experiment with shallow depth of field and foreground brokeh.
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.10 - Day 59 : Inspired by Ratatat, a band that was featured on a recent All Songs Considered episode. All Songs Considered is a program that airs on NPR and has recently become one of my favorites. Ratatat is a duo from New York that creates electro-rock. Take a listen to a track from their upcoming CD, Lp3. --- I am going to make changes to my self imposed rules. Several times now I have taken photos, but been too busy (or away from a computer) and as a result, not uploaded a daily photo. I am now going to allow myself to back fill as long as the day being filled in, is the same day the photo was taken. It was in hindsight silly to impose an upload rule on myself. So, look for missing days to be filled soon.
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.08 - Day 57 : Elliot's graduation was today. This is the home of the Buckeyes - Ohio State University. Boy was it hot in the horseshoe. The air was in the mid-90s and there was only occasional shade for the graduates. They sit down at the curve where all the seats are empty. We sat up in that dark area between the decks. This is a hand-held 3 exposure HDR. I am standing pretty close to the edge of the stands.
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.07 - Day 56 : We flew in to Columbus this morning and sat around at Elliot's apartment waiting for our parents to arrive. In the evening we went to Short North (an area of Columbus) for the gallery hop. Unfortuneately we were so tired we didn't make it to many of the galleries and the entire area was packed with people. This picture was taken inside of one of the galleries. I've cropped it pretty heavily and applied the Orton effect to it. Care to guess what it is?
Oliver Chong > 2008.06.05 - Day 54 : I quite like this picture.
2008.06.19 - Day 68 :

Irene started a new job on Monday so i got her some flowers. They provided for another nice organic shot.

Jeremy always says I should use the story telling apertures more so here's another. I normally won't go above f/11 due to diffraction, but I tried a range of them. I couldn't discern any quality loss in the shot so I went with f/22.

Another back fill. A bit of an artistic photo... of art.
