If you’ve decided to participate in Project 365 this year, you might start to find it difficult to keep track of which number day it is in the year once you get out of January – I know I did when I did my Project 365 last year.
Last year I made a special Project 365 [...]

The project is complete! I took one photo every day in 2009 and the above mosaic is the result. Definitely a worthwhile experience and it’s very satisfying to complete such a long running project.

What is Freelensing?
Photos taken with the lens detached from the camera but held in place and moved around to focus. This also lets extra light in sometimes causing light leaks and giving a vintage look and feel.

Allow for super macro shots

Obviously, the sky wasn’t quite as dramatic as in the photos, but it was a dark sky. The sky usually looks better when it’s darker in [...]
My favourite photos from New York City
Well I’m back from New York City – had a really great time. Having only spent a couple of days there previously I was left wanting more. After spending 5 days this time, I still want more.
I was almost afraid I wouldn’t like it as much and that it [...]

In the meantime, here are a few shots from a short walk up Malden Road. There were more, but my connection isn’t working properly and won’t upload the rest.
