What is Shoot365?
Due to numerous injuries from being struck by a car while riding my motorcycle to work on 1/22, I have had to suspend my Shoot365 project. Time will tell when I can resume it, but it is my strong desire to do so.

Improvement. Skills unchallenged don't improve. Learning to "see" the final image before the shutter is opened. More than DOF, ISO, exposure comp I want to refine my abilities to work with negative space, lines, balance, perspective and light--to compose more than stumble into it. I want my images to tell stories.

I hold no illusions that this will be some great work. Rather, I hope it will document the improvement a one photog over the course of a year, forced to shoot daily to produce one image a day.

Comments, feedback & hints are definitely welcomed and appreciated.

Shoot early, shoot often.

Gary Leavelle > 12.11.09 Irish Goodness on a Cold Winter Night

Nothing like a Guinness on tap. And if you look carefully, you'll see the luck 'o the Irish.

This looks like such a happy family of trees.

another office shot; another long day
Gary Leavelle > 12.07.09  Granddad Remembered
This is one of five fishing lures my Granddad gave me when I was a young boy. I'm sure they were "duds" to him, but I managed to hang on to them through the years. 

I'll revisit this idea at a future date.  This photo was heavily cropped and color adjusted. I need to find better lighting and background to shoot them on; definitely better than under my desk fluorescent lamp. Marginal focus on the spinner doesn't help it either.
Gary Leavelle > 12.06.09 Be Still...

only took 200 shots to get this one. :)
Gary Leavelle > 12.05.09  What?
couldn't resist adding one extra for today
Gary Leavelle > 12.05.09  Ice Blue
sometimes mistakes work in your favor. The backyard fountain had frozen over last night after our first hard freeze. I ran outside in the sub-freezing temps and started shooting, forgetting to change the light filter from tungsten to auto. The tungsten filter added a nice effect to the photo, I thought.

Another busy day at the office.

Gary Leavelle > 12.02.09   Christmas Lights, Texas Style
My neighbor was nice enough to put up some nice lights on his split-rail fence.

I believe you have my stap-el-er.
Well, today was an "end of a long day" shot. Not much inspiration. fuzz on the subject, too. Oh, well.

Trying to use lines, shapes & shadow to compose an interesting shot in b&w.

Work
The best laid plans of man...this is the hardest jigsaw puzzle I've ever done. 
My goal in this pic was to capture the moment, tell a story, but also use the shapes and patterns.
