Day 365 - I started with a portrait so I will finish with one!

I have taken my picture early today as we are off out and I don't trust myself to leave it until later. Happy New Year!

Do I or don't I? Photo a day has been a real challenge for me but lately has become a bit of a chore. In the winter I don't really get out of the house much except for walking the dogs. This means that my daily picture ends up being taken late in the evening of some boring household object. I am in a real quandry about continuing next year.

The mod worked!! A 1/8th jack added to the SB600 - I can now synch without the hot shoe. Unfortunately it is not as easy as I thought and I still have another one to do.

We were lucky enough to get Skyport Radio triggers for Christmas. Unfortunately, to use on the SB600 you either need to use a hot shoe adapter or mod the flash to add a pc socket. We decided to do the mod.. Flash number 1.. two bits of metal fell out also a wire managed to break so we decided to take apart flash number 2 to locate where the pieces go! Bad light and a serious worry about drilling 6mm holes in the cases stopped play for this evening. Hopefully I will provide a positive update tomorrow :-s

It snowed here today, Calais port was closed due to bad weather - nice to know the French are rubbish with snow too!! Dover has been completey gridlocked with lorries with no place to go. I should have got out and taken a picture or two but we've been decorating again :-(

We tried to get a picture of the dogs looking into the washing machine. A combination of:- not wide enough lens, lack of co-operation and lack of patience meant we didn't get the shot. the things 365 drives you to!

Where's Bob?

Poor old Bob spent the day at the vets - ended up having 19 teeth removed. Marley didn't really settle all day

Collages

Tonight at 8:00pm they started roadworks outside of our house. The work is on for the next four nights and is likely to be noisy. It amazes me that they dig up the motorways in the middle of the holiday season but then chose to do roadworks in a residential area overnight. I am sure there are loads of good reasons for this approach but I feel grumpy!

Today's picture is star shaped bokeh of the workmen's lights.

DSC_0572 This is Barbora, originally from Slovakia - now studying fine art at Canterbury University. I had not met her before but just wondered up and asked if I could take her picture. I am glad I did. You can see more pictures on my website.

Tonight they officially turned on the town Christmas lights. We didn't actually attend the ceremony but snatched a few pics whilst driving through the town. Apparently this year's theme is - credit crunch...

Regulars here will know I've been suffering with a bad knee, I dislocated it boxing a few weeks ago and it was on the mend - or so I thought! I stood up from my desk today and the knee just gave way - so it looks like I will be back to the hospital tomorrow. Today's picture is the best I could manage.

I am feeling pretty pleased as I have managed another daylight shot and outside too. This was a tough one as we had to shelter in the pub whilst waiting for high tide. Given the gale force winds the waves were actually pretty disappointing.

I saw this lovely old Bentley parked outside the Townhall and couldn't resist taking a quick snap.

At the start of this week I decided my theme would be strangers. I was going to venture outside and talk strangers into having their pictures taken. I failed at the first hurdle which involved going outside during daylight hours. I really fancy trying again but I think I will have to leave it until the summer. There is a Flickr group called '100 Strangers' if anyone fancies a real challenge. I started once but didn't get very far.

Today's offering is another abstract that nobody will guess - if you do you probably need therapy! I really am running out of ideas...

365 - a picture a day gives you the perfect opportunity to give the outside world an an insight into your life. Well, mine is very boring at the moment - I spend most of my time in front of this thing and rarely see the outside world... Bring on the revolution!

As I put on my left shoe yesterday I felt an obstruction - I pushed a little harder like you do. I was struck with nausea and dizziness - well not quite but I did feel something sting my toe. I pulled my foot out of the shoe and it was followed by a big angry bee. I hopped around and grabbed my camera - the bee should have been yesterday's picture but it was very stroppy. Anyway that's why yesterday's picture was rubbish, so on to today. My toe is swollen like a sausage - my wife said a chipolata! I did take a picture but I really don't like feet so I photographed my shoes. For those of you who are worried my foot is swollen but I think I will survive...

The orange theme is finished! I need something more interesting and challenging, so this week's theme is strangers. I thought I'd start with the strangest person in the house.
