Wirral Way (18/365) – Day Eighteen Project365
Wirral Way (18/365) I’m annoying myself. I started this project in order to improve both my photography skills and my mental health but as it stands, right now, both are falling apart.I knew I’d reach this point but I didn’t think it would be so soon. Each day I’m going out to try and improve on the previous photo, or at least previous attempts I’ve done. However, I appear to have reached a wall where it’s just not getting better. The more I try to produce better images, the more I’m getting stressed out. Exactly the opposite of what this…
Riveracre Valley (7/365) – Day Seventeen Project365
Riveracre Valley (7/365) I apologise for today’s picture. I went to Riveracre Valley just before sunset expecting to get some decent shots with the sun coming through the trees. Nope, I was definitely wrong. It was a complete failure. To add to the disappointment of the picture, I’m so tired today that; a) typing correctly isn’t happening (thank you spell check!) and b) I used the wrong aperture so the actual picture is horrible. I’ve done my best with it in post processing, which in all honesty isn’t very good in itself. I’m going to have to retake this one…
Bearded Dragon (16/365) – Day Sixteen Project365
Bearded Dragon (16/365) Alduin actually sat still long enough for me to get a decent picture inside his vivarium. Not a huge amount to say today. I’ve been trying to get my head around Instagram and whatever Instagram stories are. From what I’ve seen they’re similar to Snapchat, which I also don’t understand. I’m still thinking of designs and ways to improve the site. – R
Parkgate (15/365) – Day Fifteen Project365
Parkgate(15/365) Ventured out to Parkgate to get another picture I’ve wanted to get for a while. I don’t think I’ve actually ever gone onto the marshland. I’m quite happy with how it turned out, as well as the HDR I also did. I’m still working on the website, so there may be some downtime over the next few days. I can’t quite work out how I want it to look. Do I want it focused on the images, or on the writing? Or do I carry on like now with a mix? More work is definitely needed. Problem is, it’s…
Trooper (14/365) – Day Fourteen Project365
Trooper (14/365) Nothing special photowise today as quite frankly I’m sick of looking at this screen. I’ve spent today being a ‘trooper’…bad joke. Anyway, I’ve sent today being a trooper in the sense of I found a problem with the site so I’ve spent the day finding and fixing it. Nightmare. I really do wish I knew just that little bit more about coding/website design in general. Been racking my brains today why my images where really badly compressed when displayed. To be honest, I’m still not entirely sure but it’s now solved. Well solved as much as it is…
Stepping Out (13/365) – Day Thirteen Project365
Stepping Out (13/365) – Day Thirteen of Project365 Only a short one today as I’m not feeling great. All day I’ve been dizzy and unsteady on my feet, which is just wonderful. Despite that though, I’ve managed to distract myself so I am feeling in a slightly better mood. Who knows how long that will last though. – R View on Flickr
Focus Issue (12/365) – Day Twelve Project365
Focus Issue – Day Twelve of Project365 I couldn’t think of a more fitting picture to sum up today really. I can’t seem to focus on anything. Have you ever starting doing something because you enjoy it only to then change your mind 5 minutes later? Well that’s been my day. Well, actually that’s been my past few days. It’s become apparent that I am definitely in one of my low moods. There’s plenty of things to do but can I find the motivation to do any of them? Nope. If I had to pick just one thing I hate…
Underwater (11/365) – Day Eleven Project365
Day Eleven of Project365 Honestly, this picture sums up my day perfectly. My head feels like it’s underwater. I suffer from migraines which most of the time, I can’t tell when it’s going to kick in. Today though it’s been building and building until now it’s really hurting. I’m always able to tell it’s going to be a migraine, not just a bad headache, because I become really slow. I must have typed all of these sentences a trillion times due to how many mistakes I keep making. It’s kind of like a cloud covers everything I’m doing and turns…
Reading The Day Away (10/365)
Day Ten Project365 I’m still not completely back to normal today. Lacking motivation. I’ve decided to spend the day reading some books and working my way through the small pile I’ve accumulated. Throughout the past year I’ve found reading often helps distract me from overthinking. It allows my brain to switch off and enter the world I’m reading about for a few hours. I can find myself mentally inside a magical castle, or inside a dystopian world of some sort (probably one that’s hungry and there’s a game…). I love having the mental images the writer describes knowing that nobody…
