Been meaning to take this shot for ages. Surprised I mustered the energy, I'm absolutely bloody knackered...

8/365 - Sealing the bath
Tonight I decided I would re-seal the bath. Big mistake! It took bloody ages!
It's not the sealing, it's getting all the old stuff off. What a nightmare.

7/365 - M62 - but nearly no shot at all...
Decided to take this shot on the way home from college. Drove onto the bridge, took out my camera, set it up on the tripod, then realised I'd not put a memory car in - AAARRRGGHH!!!
Fortunately I had a memory card in my phone with just enough space for one photo if I changed the quality from RAW to jpeg!! What an idiot!

6/365 - Multitude of Moods
Day 6 - I took this in the car park whilst I was waiting to go into college. I would have really liked to hve taken it whilst on the move but I wasn't going to clamp the camera to my bonnet and travel!

5/365 - Just Mute
Today feels... bad
maybe one day I'll be able to talk about it... when it feels better.

4/365 - Not a dry night...
... busy day today and unfortunately I wasn't able to keep it dry! Still polishing off some of the beer I brought back from France, and unimaginitive as it is, here's one of them!
Cheers :)

3/365 - Cycling
Day 3 of the project. Going paintballing in a couple of weeks and have realised I need to get my fitness back up! Haven't been out on the bike for a few weeks so today was pretty tricky! Did about 15 miles to the end of the Spen Valley Greenway and back and managed to take this.
I wanted to get a photograph of the bike with the ground going past in blur but didn't quite manage as much blur as I would have liked! I took this on shutter priority at 1/50. In my mind there are four things I could have done to improve the shot:
1. Shot at a slower shutter speed (but as I had to hold the camera near the ground whilst riding the bike, this would inevitably have led to more camera shake)
2. Attached camera to a frame to hold it steady while I used a slower shutter speed (too much faffing)
3. I could have rode the bike faster with the same shutter speed (but wasn't really brave enough to go faster whilst dangling my camera near the ground!)
4. Blurred it in Photoshop (that would have been cheating!).

2/365 - Simon's Terrible Shirt!
Friday is dress-down day where I work and over the last few weeks a little competition has emerged as to who can wear the most horrendous outfit.
The fella in the picture is Simon and he's not only raised the bar, he's burned the pitch and taken the bat and ball! This little number was made by his wife from 'an old towel'. It has that scratchy feel you only get when a really old towel attacks you as you get out of the bath. Not a feeling I'd want to carry around on my back all day, especially if I looked like a box of Cabury's miniature heroes!
10/10 for bravery but much as I like a competition I think I'll sit this one out!

1/365 Can I keep this up?
OK so it's day one of my project and I have a mammoth hill to climb. I so hope I can keep this up, it will be so cool.
The significance of this photograph is that I am so p****d off at apple! I recently updated my i-Tunes (big mistake!) and it has lost the location of all my music files! AARRRGGHH! Tonight I had to re-add all my tunes but I've lost all my play counts :(
Curse you Steve Jobs!!!
