Anyone else doing a photography "project"?

[Beowulf]

I have just started a photography project after being inspired by Gadget's Facebook image project where he was capturing a photograph every day.

I've just started (competed 1/52 weeks ;) ) my 365 day project which I'm blogging (see links in signature to Flickr and My Blog) I was just wondering if anyone else is doing something similar?

We could set up a Ceroc Scotland Photography group on Flickr ;)

Unfortunately as I'm no longer on Facebook I can't follow Gadget's progress.

Kudos to him though.. I blatantly ripped his idea off ;)

This is going to be a tough challenge .. might need to come back to dancing .. if only for good photography material ;)

Did you find you were allergic to Facebook or something ? :)

Its a great idea but I don't think he invented it, I've seen this project on many Photographic forums

Sadly I'm not that disciplined :blush: but I'll enjoy viewing yours :worthy:

No .. didn't for one moment think he invented it. But Kudos to him for starting the photo-a-day challenge himself.. and kudos for inspiring me :)

exceedingly. I developed a nasty rash. So deleted all the friends with names that included the letters "R","A","S" & "H", it didn't work.. I then deleted all the friends I had anything in common with, then all the friends I had little in common with, then all the friends I had nothing in common with, finally the friends I'd never actually met.

in the end I deleted myself.. it was easier ;) and the rash cleared up.. so it worked :wink:

Along with my imaginary friends yes :) :wink:

Of course I may well be imaginary, how could you tell ? :)

I'm not disciplined enough to do PAD, but I do like the idea of a Ceroc Scotland Flickr group for those of us who use Flickr - it would be a nice way to share our photos with each other. :D

this is my latest shot.. it might just be the Geek in me.. but everytime I look at this I get Sir Alec Guinness in my head telling me "That's no moon"

:lol:

"that's no moon" :eek:

ew ! :sick:

As for the pic.. I'm surprised that , on a hot sunny day, you don't see loads of Londoner Homeless eating crispy roast duck directly under the focal point of that thing ;)

actually on a semi serious note.. if the sun was in the right place I suspect that might pose a dazzle hazard to any overhead aircraft ;)

(note to self.. next time I'm being chased by a police helicopter at night run in front of this thing!! :D )

If it is properly constructed then it's actually quite a dangerous structure. Although assuming that the orientation of the dish is fixed, it's probably only dangerous for a few minutes on a couple of days a year, and even then, only if the sun's shining.

Below is one of my favourite science videos of the moment.

I can't wait to see his next project, which will feature more mirrors and a larger dish.

The focal length is far too short to do that, although this project (http://web.mit.edu/2.009/www/experiments/deathray/10_ArchimedesResult.html) may interest you, which uses flat mirrors set on a very large radius (i.e. a small slice of an extremely shallow dish) to target an object only a few 10s of yards away.

Coooool.

I'm a relatively sensible 'mature' kinda girl :innocent: and even I'm wondering what else you could melt/burn with that!!! :what:

Here's a bigger (though less destructive) variation:
