To see through his eyes

Might be an interesting way to spend a day… anyone have a Go Pro they’d be willing to let me use for a day? 🙂

50@50 – 1: Archie

So, I’ve finally taken the time out to start a new project. You may remember that I did a 365 project back in 2009 where I took a photo a day for the year. I learned a lot, but haven’t really exerted myself (in photography) any further in the meantime. So this time, I’m going to take 50 shots at 50mm (using my EF 50mm 1.8 – a cheap and very cheerful prime lens). There is no theme, this is more of an exercise to get me out and about with the camera – to get me thinking again.

Anyway, this is the first shot in the series – our pup, Archie. I took this earlier this month shortly after I decided to commit to doing the 50@50 project. A decomissioned railway line runs by Adare which makes for a nice walk. Archie loved it and I’m proud to report that this is the first time he ever obeyed the ‘stay’ command. Clever pup!

As usual, all feedback is very welcome! Comments or Critique? Leave it below!

Another awful title! This little lad had only just started walking… very goofy.

These two look as if they have turned away from each other after having an argument. As if they are both pondering the situation with a little regret. BUT, don’t worry, no Ducks or Swans argued in the making of this photo. 😉

Again, I’m not sure about the processing of this one… as in I didn’t do any processing. Increased the exposure a little, that’s it. In case you haven’t figured it out at this stage, I’m looking for advice and suggestions. Be sure to comment below.

The sky is a bit blown out here – not sure about the processing at all. Hints? Suggestions?
