a photograph a day

[elfy]

And yet another pretty varied one this week. Couple of landscapes, one of next door's pup, a couple of myself (including one of my feet! Think I'm struggling for ideas?), one of my mate Marty painting a roof, one of the local pub and a Michael Jackson related effort.

Check it out. You know the drill.

like the one of the city chambers. i walk by it everyday on my way to and from work and it still impresses me. as someone said in the comments though how did you manage to get a shot of it with no-one in front? i've never seen it deserted and that includes staggering by at half three in the morning

Haha! Yeah, a lot of patience helped.

This week has seen some still life (mainly plant related for some reason), a shot of my neighbour's motorbike, the obligatory shot of the dog (first of the month mind you, and a little bit different this time), a portrait shot of my friend Sty and some high speed watery shenanigans. Worth a look I reckon, so let me know if they're good, crap, or just....nothing.

Thanks, no problem.

Another week.....another update. A still-life product shot of my phone featured this week along with a high speed water balloon burst shot, some Photoshop trickery to give a static car shot a bit of movement, the neighbour's boxer pup Molly, a split-toning effect applied to another still-life and me as Elvis. Sound interesting? Have a look and see.

Another update I reckon. This time we have, in no particular order, a couple of still life shots, a couple of football (or soccer as you guys would call it) related ones, a few days of me being obsessed with my new close-up filters, one of the new bridge in Glasgow and a shot of my mate Andy's ugly face.

As usual, have a look, praise, criticise, laugh at, whatever takes your fancy. I am here for your entertainment.

Right, another varied week I'd say. This time we've had a couple of still life shots, a shot of me posing for the camera looking moody (I know, it's the only look I've got - I'm like that Zoolander fella!), a musical recommendation, the dog enjoying the sunrise (a favourite of the missus), one of Ibrox stadium for all the Rangers fans.....oh, and a bloody great spider.

Go on, leave some comments. I dare you.

Some still life, an abandoned car, the Glasgow Central clock, the national stadium and me with one big massive hand to look at this week.

As always, feel free to comment as you see fit.

 

[elfy]

Been a wee while since my last update so since then we have had, in no particular order, the dog (of course!), a couple of light trail experiments, my hand, my mate Han and his missus, some spices on the spice rack, some Smirnoff vodka, me with a guitar and a landscape shot of the village.

Have a look, leave a comment.....or don't if you can't be bothered. It's entirely up to you.

Hahaha! Don't worry mate, I'll get along to Parkhead before the year's out.

Nice work man, keep them coming.

 

[elfy]

Nice work man, keep them coming.

Thanks! I will do.

What have you missed recently then? We've had a close up of a slug (nice!), some empty plate/Irn Bru can still life, my local football team with their new kit on, the ford badge from a random car parked in my driveway, one of the missus, one of the dog, some random still life, an old record player I found up in the loft and a big bloody knife.

You know what to do.

A Year In Photos

 

[elfy]

It's been a while since I've updated you all. I won't sit and tell you everything I've been shooting, suffice to say that there's been the usual mixture of still-life, portraits, light trails and dogs!

Have a look and leave whatever comments you see fit.

A Year In Photos

 

[elfy]

Still life, landscapes, an abundance of the dog, discarded alcohol bottles and flaming guitars just about sums up the content since my last update.

Have a look if you so desire...

 

[elfy]

Been a while since I've posted anything. Been mainly featuring moustaches lately. Have a look and leave your comments, good or bad...all are welcome!

Only fifty days to go!

 

[elfy]

Just a little heads up to let you all know, I'm going to be running a prize draw from the 1st of January to win a free 18" x 12" print of one of my photos from the project, just as a little thank you to those who may have taken the time to have a look throughout the year. More details nearer the time. Also, prints, canvases and loads of other stuff are now available on the site. Thanks guys.

Nice. Congratulations.
That oil and disc image is awesome. Reminds of a trick someone I know did. She had a model blow bubbles and shot it with a ring flash. Made for some very interesting effects.

Thanks man. That sounds pretty interesting. Might give it a try if I ever get round to/can afford to buy a ring flash.

Right guys, time to maybe start having a look through the photos from the year again and pick out your favourite. From the 1st of January till 8:00pm UK time on the 7th of January, you will be able to enter a free draw to win an 18" x 12" print of your favourite photo. Just send your name and the date of your favourite photo to [email protected] and make the subject of your email 'Elfy Photography Prize Draw'

Remember to hold off until the year's complete though!

 

[elfy]

Well, that's the year complete! It's certainly been a challenge, but I've loved doing it. Like I said right at the start, some days have been more inspirational than others but, looking back over the year, there haven't been too many that I really can't stand to look at. Thanks to everyone who took the time to have a look over the course of the year. Feel free to pick out your favourite shot and email the date of it and your name to [email protected] to be in with a chance of winning a free print. All entries should be in by 8:00pm UK time on Thursday the 7th of January.

Oh, and I'm up at ten to seven on New Year's Day to go and try to catch the first sunrise of the year. Should be a good way to start off 2010's project!
