Month 1 of Project365

I’m pleased to have completed Month 1 of the 365-day challenge to capture and publish an original photograph every day, for 365 days.

I admit that it has sometimes been a real challenge, but that’s exactly what I wanted when I came up with the idea in the first place. I knew there would be days when the conditions would be difficult, the location perhaps uninspiring, or simply just difficult to find the time to take and edit a decent image.

It has been one of the wettest months on record in southern England, and the skies have often been a leaden grey. Conditions have helped me to observe the ordinary with a new perspective, to experiment with monochrome, to explore macro and play with abstract imagery. I hope you enjoy the first 31 images shown here in a short video.

Venues were mostly various locations near my home in Oxfordshire in England, plus a few visits to woodlands elsewhere and an evening spent in London.

Most of the images were captured with my Leica Q3, and a couple with my Hassleblad X2D.

Visit my new webpage for the project. There you’ll find higher resolution images organised into monthly galleries.
