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 > 2008.09.28 - Day ? :

It rained almost nonstop from Friday morning through to Sunday night.  I've been watching a patch of trees along my path to work change colors, but with the all the rain it delayed my plans.  Luckily Sunday afternoon offered a one hour respite from the rain so I rushed down the road to take a few shots.

This isn't my favorite shot of the day, but it does show an isolated glimpse of the beauty that New England offers in the fall.  Other shots will follow as I get opportunities to get out and put the 350D to work.  I'm hoping the polarizers I have on order arrive soon - they should further enhance the colors.

Sometimes the sky looks amazing at night.  Storm clouds were leaving the area on the night of the full moon producing this scene.

Not an HDR.

Saturday on the Cape had us split in to two groups.  Irene and I couldn't bike with our friends so we went out for a drive around the neighboring towns and beaches.  We stopped at Cape Cod Light, Wellfleet, and a few beaches.

The beach where this was taken was completely quiet save for two people having lunch looking out at the water at the top of the cliff and a gentleman who was photographing the scenery.  I said hello and spoke with him for just a minute as he was packing up to leave.  He was shooting with a 4x5 large format camera that looked as though it must have been well over 50 years old.

There are quite a few pictures I like from this day, but everything came together in this shot to make it one of my favorites from the trip.

Day two of the trip was spent in Provincetown which is located at the very end of the Cape.  Dinner was at Mews and although on the pricier side the meal was excellent.  I highly recommend the Shaking Beef.

I didn't find much of interest to photograph in Provincetown - except for this one store which had an amazing Halloween display.  The owner didn't like me trying to take a picture of it however... I guess he thought I would replicate it.

This photo was taken in the garden behind an Asian inspired store.  Everything it was very well done.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to remember the name, but I will ask my friends.

*I didn't have my tripod with me so unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I don't make an appearance.

Poker during the first evening of a long weekend on the Cape.

A peach past its prime.  Not yet moldy, but showing its age.

Shot in the lightbox on a very dark brown table.

* Added a missing photo back on 2008.09.01.

This is the tub in our guest bathroom.

Tonight was an experiment in post processing.  I'm very happy with the end result - a somewhat surreal look while pulling out the detail that is nearly invisible in the original exposure (water droplets, richer shadows, and aging).  The final image has two curves applied to the image.  The first curve only applied to the tub itself while the second is only for the metal.

Best viewed at XL size as a lot of the detail is lost in the smaller versions.

Nothing special... just playing with the parameter settings on the camera.

Irene's parents came to visit for Labor Day weekend.  We went for a walk at Great Brook Farm.  These waterlilies were growing in one of the ponds.
