New Beginnings

Image
Well it's that time of the year again, as one year comes to end and another is about to begin I bet I'm not alone in looking at getting back in to a favorite hobby again, in my case looking for new ideas for a photography project. 'Tis the season for reflection  Determined to get back in to photography I have signed up to 3 different Flickr photography group challenges, each of which I hope will re-motivate me to pick up that DSLR and those interchangeable lenses that have been collecting dust (hopefully not literally collecting dust) and get out back out there. Flickr Photography Group 1 - 2015 Weekly Alphabet Challenge This group gives a theme for each week, the themes start with A and going through to Z (2 times over for 52 weeks of the year 2015). The photos to be posted must follow the theme but can have any interpretation of that theme. This the group I am most scared of, ha. Flickr Photography Group 2 - 52 weeks project The second group I've joined

Tiny Worlds

Image
The next logical progression from panaromics, of which I seem obsessed, was to create the 'globe effect' of a tiny world from such paranomas in post processing. Thanks to such great mobile phone apps as Globe Photo (from kexxu) it's so simple to create these little tiny worlds Flags, Boston Common - Memorial Day, May 2015 Mystic River Reservation - June 2014 Charles River - June 2014 Montreal Beach, August 2014 Montreal, August 2014 Old Port Montreal, August 2014 Place d'Armes Montreal, August 2014 Boston at night, August 2014 Lynn Beach, August 2014 Nahant Beach, August 2014 Boston Skyline, September 2014 Medford Community Day, September 2014 Charles River, October 2014 Kings Beach, October 2014 Castle Island, November 2014 Sunset, Medford, November 2014

Photography Project - Handlebars 2014

Continuing from last year's theme I will be taking a 'bike-selfie' (for lack of a better term) of all my cycling trips, assuming I remember! So far it's early in the year (April) and still fairly cold in the Boston area so adventuring far from home right now isn't going to be in the cards. 3/29/2014 - Fresh Pond, Cambridge 4/4/2014 - Minuteman Bikeway, Arlington 4/5/2014 - Mystic Lakes, Winchester 5/16/2014 - Mystic River Parkway, Arlington 5/31/2014 - Charles River, Cambridge 6/1/2014 - Mystic Lakes 6/2/2014 -  Mystic Lakes 6/9/2014 -  Mystic River 6/21/2014 -  Swains Pond, Melrose 6/23/2014 -  Upper Mystic Lake, Winchester 6/30/2014 -  Horn Pond, Woburn 7/5/2014 - Middlesex Fells Reservation 7/6/2014 - Revere Beach 7/12/2014 - Spot Pond, Stoneham 8/6/2014 - Rt 16, Revere Beach Parkway 8/10/2014 - Behind Assembly Row, Somerville 8/30/2014 - Nahant Beach, Lynn
