I'll kick off with some "near misses" that almost made it as shot of the day during February:
[Millennium Window - the lovely new stained glass in Fryerning Church was a close call for Day #40]
[Saturated - a curious abstract I stumbled upon during my walk around Ulting on Day #41]
[Goblet of Fire was another image from the studio when I was messing about for Day #45]
[Kennady's Abstract - I loved the soft colours with this long exposure for Day #46]
[The Tilled Earth - a nice sepia treatment which almost made it for Day #55]
[The Duck Pond - a bit of a chocolate box picture from my look around Battlesbridge on Day #57]As I said in the beginning, I think my "boring" days have been slightly more creative than January. This was tested during Days 35-37 when I was sick - but I still managed a shot or two with my compact camera, so haven't broken the 366 rule.
The 366 group on Flickr I belong to has weekly themes to help you out when inspiration is lacking. The theme for Week 6 was "Love Is..." I was a bit stuck for what to do, but then an idea germinated just before I was due to spend the day in the Studio with a friend on 14th. My entry was called "Love Is ... Never Black & White" which was my picture for Day #45, and I was delighted that the 366 folks voted it best picture for week 6.
I think it was particularly pleasing as I'm not often a photographer who pre-conceives an idea and then sets it up for a picture, I'm much more likely to go with what I see in front of me. So to have taken a successful image which required thought and pre-planning was quite a departure for me. And it meant I got to choose the theme for Week 8, which I decided would be Nature's Patterns.
I hope you continue to observe my journey through the year during March.
