Project 365

I am taking on a new challenge for 2012. I have read and heard about photo projects where you take a picture every single day for a year. I am undertaking to do that for 2012. I will try to post photos several times throughout the week but may only publish once a week depending on my schedule.

I received a new Panasonic point and shoot camera, for Christmas, that I can take everywhere with me so I plan to always have it with me when I find the picture for the day.

I read an article about a similar project like this on the Photojojo web site. If you are interested in doing such a project, you might find some useful information there. Click here to view the article.

So without further ado, let's get started.

Day 113




Day 112




Day 111

This was the drive home from work tonight. I probably shouldn't be taking photos while I'm driving but I thought it would make an interesting photo to get the windshield wiper in the photo with the rain.





Day 109

This is a picture of our car from the hotel room window. I thought it was an interesting perspective of the car since you don't normally see it from the top.





Day 108






Day 107

I don't really remember why I took this photo other than it was more blossoms during the spring.


Day 106

The Boise river is running really high this year. They have been releasing water to make room for what is coming from the higher mountains. The river has actually been running above flood stage, which you can see in this photo. Normally the trees in the upper right of the photo are not out in the water.




Day 105






Day 104


My daughter took this photo for me. This was after they had finished coloring the eggs. Nice job!!





Day 103






Day 102


Here are some more blossoms. In this case, I really liked the contrast of the white blossoms agains the blue background of the sky.




Day 101

The moon was really prominent this afternoon when we were out for a walk. I don't think this shot really does the moon justice. There are several things I am fascinated with in photos and the moon is one of them. If you search the internet for moon photos there are thousands of shots that are really magnificent. I have captured a few shots over the years that I think are pretty good. I suppose I will continue to take pictures of moon and hopefully someday I will get one of those awesome ones.


Day 100

More flowers blossoming. I didn't really pay attention to the background when I shot this photo. Now that I'm looking at it, I wish I had moved either left or right before I snapped the shutter so that the tree in the background was positioned differently.  I guess that's why we take lots of photos.

Day 99


Day 98

Fall is in the air. I'll probably have more photos of flowers for the next while as they all start to bloom and blossom.


Day 97






Day 96




Day 95

This is another photo that would probably work better as a video since the wallpaper is what's called a live wallpaper, meaning that it has motion going on in the background. I like the realism of the photo and the fish moving make it even better.


Day 94

Our family was out for a walk this afternoon and grabbed a photo of our feet while we were walking. This would probably be better as part of a video but I like it anyway. Last summer, during our vacation to Washington DC, my son took a video of his feet while we navigating the subway and it was really a pretty interesting video to watch.




Day 93

This photo was taken at one of the baseball parks in our area. This is the top of a chain link fence around the ball diamond. I guess they didn't want anyone to get hurt by the chain link. We never had this kind of protection and I made it to adulthood just fine.  :)


Day 92





Day 91


This is a closeup of my daughters eye. I should have used a tripod because you can see that I moved the camera while the shutter was open.




Day 90



Day 89

The sunrise on my way in to the office this morning. I thought the colors were stunning.




Day 88



Day 87 - Mar 20, 2012






Day 86 - Mar 19, 2012


I pulled in the driveway tonight coming home from work and this fat little Robin was sitting on our grass. I stopped, rolled down my window and snapped a couple pictures. He didn't seem to be scared of me at all. I guess I wasn't really that close but the car was running and I had rolled down the window.

I'm hoping this means that Spring is right around the corner. We haven't had a bad winter but the last month or so has been rainy and chilly. I think I am definitely ready for the warmer weather.
