Its been a miserable day today with grey skys and rain. It stopped at around 1500 hrs just as I walked out the door to take the dogs for a walk.

I heard that a collegue from work resigned due to new new manager who could be likened to a little boy who throws his toys around, alot. Good luck Chris with your new job, when you find one.

The TIme is Right..

Well thanks for the advice on tripods, I will also be focusing on a set point which will not change throughout the year. This fixed point is likely to be a lamp post, fence or something I can concentrate on which is enclosed in the trees.

I have also identified the best time for me to take the photographs, this will be between 9am and 10 am, I work permanent nights so earlier is not realistic, neither is later on in the day.

The location out of my bed room window and also from the patio, the bed room windows faces north westish, the patio westish some shots could be problematic from here due to direct sunlight, but what the hell..

The Time will be between now and mid winters day, definatly by then so I will be able to capture all of the seasons growing and dieing. I am a bit excited at seeing the results, in the finished animation. 2007 seasons day by day.

I live in a fairly wooded area, My first thoughts are to take my photos from the patio or out in the road, this way I will have an archive of Photographs of the changing seasons and the effects on the flora and forna for 1 year.

Also noting the weather conditions on a daily basis where by tempreature wind speed etc. could be noted.

The possibility of archiving and seeing climate change in my local area is a good thought ! We have been experiencing very unusual weather conditions where I live for a few years.

The year long Photography Project

2006-11-30T17:31:00.000-08:00

Today I have decided to embark on a photography project which will take a year to complete.

The Idea is to take a photograph of the same place every day at the same time then create an animated graphic at the end of the year.

At the moment I am thinking of where the photograph should be taken, it needs to be somewhere sheltered, north (ish) facing out of direct sunlight and somwhere I can access everyday at the same time.

If anyone has any comments perhaps you have done something like this before I would appreciate you input and comments
