Project 365: Days 350-368?

I’ve discovered another one of the problems about not posting my Project 365 photos on a more regular basis – I seem to be missing some days. I started on November 14, 2011, so in theory November 13 should have been day 366 (given it’s a leap year). Now, true …

Project 365: Days 336-349

Here’s another round of Project 365 photos. And now I’m almost caught up on posting them. This takes me through October 31, which means after today I only have 11 more days before I reach 365! I think it may be time to start thinking about how I’m going to …

Project 365: Days 322-335

Here are another two weeks of Project 365 photos. I really need to get on top of catching up. I only have another two weeks of shooting before I’m done, and I still have quite the backlog! So, without anything further, here are days 322-335… Follow @mikerussellfoto Day 322: Whispy …

Project 365: Days 294-307

I have fallen way behind on my Project 365 posts again. So rather than do one really long entry, I’ve decided to do them in smaller batches. Here are the first couple weeks of September. I’ll try to post another batch in a few days. Follow @mikerussellfoto Day 294: Morning …

Project 365: Days 270-293

Ok, I know it sort of defeats the purpose of the whole photo-a-day philosophy, but that ship sailed a long time ago. Even if I’m not posting them more regularly, at least I’m still shooting daily! This one is long overdue, 23 days late, to be exact. So here’s what …

Project 365: Days 260-269 (that’s today!)

I’m not sure which is more momentous – that I have less than 100 days left of my Project 365, or that I have actually caught up to posting my most recent photo. Follow @mikerussellfoto Day 260: Weathered On our recent trip to Central Washington, we stopped at this old …

Project 365: Days 246-259

Still trying to catch up. Here are another couple of weeks’ worth of my Project 365 photos. Follow @mikerussellfoto Day 246: Soft Dahlia I was playing around with my old 50mm f/1.4 Super-Takumar lens. Opening the aperture up all the way to f/1.4 gives it a very shallow depth of …
