166/365 - warped by time and winds

The first half of my 365pictures-project is over - and so far I'm mostly enjoying it. Although I have to admit that the dark season doesn't make it easier. Since most of the days it's already dark when I have time to photograph and I don't fancy going everywhere with a tripod, most of the pictures are shot without one, which does not make the whole thing easier. But on the other hand: it's really amazing what you see and get when you are not in your comfort zone, which for me is landscape and streets. Before I startet this projects, I never really got the hang of taking pictures indoors or making close-ups, but this is changing bit by bit. So, to wrap this up: although, there isn't a good picture every day (of course) and it's sometimes a bit frustrating when there really isn't a satisfactory result, the days when you really see that you learned something new, have an unexpected good outcome or watching yourself develop are so much more rewarding. Having said this: Cheers to the second half, which I hope will be as much fun as the first and which I hope you keep enjoying with me!

  1. these are fantastic. I'm still shying away from a photo a day type challenges. I've given myself monthly themes for this year, and the whole year will be dedicated to black & white (not exclusively, obviously). I wonder what I learn along that path...

  6. a photo a day is quite a challenge, but i am impressed with your ambition. as you mention though, the great thing about it is how it pushes you out of your comfort zone. if shooting indoors/in low-lighting was difficult for you before, i'd definitely say you've changed - these photos are really stunning.
