Project 365
I've been thinking about trying it again for a while now, but it's been so cold I knew I wouldn't make it past a week. I started one in April 2010 - I did really well and made it to day 292 and then my camera broke =/ of course... SO CLOSE! But anyways, I've been wanting to try again but either I was working wayy too much or it was winter and winter is a terrible time for me to start anything. So; now April is here and it's [supposed] to get warm eventually... so bam, I'm starting it today.

And so here is Day 1: sugar cookies
we made for Izzy to take to school for her share day.
Her's were actually frosted yellow with each kids initial piped onto it in blue =P
WISH ME LUCK!
Also; rather than posting every day - I'll just post once a week with that weeks photos! I'm so excited!
And; of course if you decide to try it yourself now or later; check out Project 365 Survival Guide - which I wrote while doing it the first time!

From Baking to Photographing
Whether you just baked some absolutely beautiful cupcakes or
grilled some perfect kebabs; you're probably feeling the urge to
photograph it before you delve into the deliciousness; but for some
photographing these yummy pieces can be trickier than actually making
them!
Why is food photography so hard? I don't actually have a direct
answer for that; but I think a lot of it has to do with the limitations
on placing it and the small areas you have to do it in. We can place a
figurine in the dirt, on a tree branch, on the window sill, between some
book pages... you see my point; we can't quite do any of that [nor
would we want to!] with cupcakes, sushi, steak or cookies.
Tools
Background & Area
While your main piece is the food, you still have to consider the background. So what can you use?! Well; my first suggestion would be your cooking area! There's a variety of ways you could do this, from photographing one with more in the background or using the tools or ingredients you used to make it with! Or you can simply use a plain background from a plate, counter or otherwise. [For plain backgrounds I use fabric, a 12inch x 12inch piece should usually be sufficient; it's like a mini-backdrop!] and finally another easy way to create a background is bokeh or out of focus objects.
Keep in mind while props [other objects, food, garnishes, etc.] can add to your photo, they should not be the photo. However you decide to set up, make sure your food is still the main focus of your photograph.
Once you've got your food; I suggest picking ONE piece/plate to photograph. If you want to have more in the background; that's fine, but pick one to be your main focal piece that shows your best out of it all to be your center of attention; your "shining star".
Lighting:
First of all lighting, I highly, highly recommend not using flash. I [as many others] would suggest using as much natural lighting as you can; try to set up by a window with a good amount of light coming in to keep the natural atmosphere to the photo. If you can't go ahead and get some lamps in the room if you need more light but flash turns most colored food [especially in cakes, cupcakes, cookies and anything with food coloring] into something that looks more like a lsd trip over an appetizing photograph. People at woodstock didn't see colors so bright as food coloring under a camera flash. My best suggestion is try using natural light and work with your camera settings first.
One thing I've used for lighting without having a lighting kit is I bought some "daylight" bulbs, you can get them at decent prices and almost any store. [seriously; I bought mine at the market down the road that doesn't even carry fresh produce past October.]
Angle & Framing:
LSD trips and food coloring aside; after you've found adequate lighting the next two things to worry about are the positioning and angles to use.
There are 3 main angles you see in food photography
1. downwards [capturing the top]
2. straight forward [photographing the sides]
3. tilted towards [catching a bit of the sides & the top]
Now you have to decide which one is right for your food. Decide which part of your food you want to show the most, which part stands out and is going to give the best appearance to your subject. Is most of your work visible from the side [for example, cakes with multiple layers, fruit & vegetable work, etc.] or is it mostly at the top [like decorated cookies, soups, etc.] or is it on both top and sides [cakes, entrees, salads, etc.]
Once you've decided what you'd like to capture most out of your food, pick an angle that will show the best and most of what you're photographing. For example: If you're photographing soup, it's in a bowl so you can't go from the side, you can either do from the top or tilted towards. The next questions are do you have props to add to a from the top shot, without adding something to it along side the bowl it will feel flat and uninteresting. You could add some crackers on the side and one along side of the bowl in the soup to add some depth to the image without taking away from the soup. If you decide to tilt towards it; you can add some garnishes [herbs, sour cream, cheese, etc.] to give it life as well.
Keep in mind if you're working with flat food [i.e. a dish, soup, cookies etc.] build the dish itself up with garnishes [herbs, sauce, ingredients [for example, put some cinnamon sticks in your pumpkin soup, sour cream in your chili, a wedge of lemon on your fish, etc.] to give it less of a flat feeling to it. You can also stack them [like cookies], make a stack to take a photograph of rather than have a bunch of them flat on the surface, it will give a more natural and appealing feel to it.
Now it's time to actually take your photo; I suggest a more shallow Depth of Field, it will help hold the focus on your main piece while keeping the background subtle but still there. You want your food to stand out from any props, background or anything else you use.
When it comes to framing, forget the rule of thirds and almost everything else you've learned about framing. Fill your frame with your food. Take your best angle and frame around it giving a little room around the food, but allow it to take up a great deal of the frame, allow enough room for any props/background you used, but try to make your food take up the most allowing the details to be seen better.
It's okay for it to be centered, it's fine for the edges to be cut out, and it's perfectly find to be a little tilted.
Diptych:
I'm sure you've seen these before; they usually have 2-3 different photographs in one image. These are great for food photography because it lets you display different angles. stages or give better view of the smaller details.
Everything Else I Forgot: Have fun with it; this is one of the few times you can break most of the rules of photography! Take multiple shots and try different things, soon enough you'll find your niche and style for photographing food.
Tools
- your food
- a camera
- background/props/etc. if any
- lighting [if needed]
- your lovely self!

Surviving Project 365
The beginning of the year brings hopes, aspirations, resolutions and
PROJECT 365. Here's some helpful tips to help you get through your
project 365 a bit easier
What is project 365?
Project365 is originally the goal of taking a photo a day for a year [totalling in 365 photos]
BUT; you can do it with anything
write something every day
do a sketch/drawing a day
make a craft a day
With that possible question cleared up, many of us set forth on New Years day with the ambition of completing this project, but ideas do grow slim, creativity fades, time just simply doesn't allow it, ambition and excitement over the project grows weary... simply put; interest gets lost along the way here and there.
Thus, this year, armed with your fresh new, Project 365 Survival Guide, you are ready to start your project and FINISH!
Why do it?
There are many reasons to do it; the main two being
* to improve your art
*to keep a diary of your life
ALWAYS, always, always take your tools on you!
This is a pretty basic concept, but an extremely useful one. Keep your tools on you; your camera, pen & paper, pencil & sketchbook, tablet, whatever. This will be the most helpful advice I can give you.
Ever see something and think "I wish I had my camera?"
Or have inspiration to write hit you at the bank?
Maybe you see something while you're waiting somewhere that you want to draw?
Since you are now going to be doing it every day it's going to be a lot easier to have your tools with you wherever inspiration may strike.
Plus; this will fit into your daily schedule a whole lot better than setting time aside each day to accomplish your work.
If you forget your camera; use your phone camera. It may not be the best quality but it will be a photo regardless which will work if you don't find another opportunity that day.
Same goes for writing or drawing; you have a notepad on your phone and you can take a photo of whatever you want to draw.
Your phone will probably be extremely helpful in your project!
Have a goal & support
What's the point in doing a project this extreme without a goal? So you have a large collection of photo sitting around on your harddrive? Some do this to improve their skills and create a chart or meme [day 1, day 25, day 50, day 75...etc.]
Personally I did mine with the goal of turning it into a book. That way I can look at it sitting on my coffee table one day and say "hey, that was an interesting year".
I've heard of some people who say things like "for every month I get to..." and treat yourself to something. If you work better short term with a reward at the end go for it. At day 100 I bought myself something I had wanted and did the same following that.
Also; tell your friends and family what you're doing. It's hard to stay excited about something if you're the only one that knows about it and how hard you're working. Let them be your cheerleaders. Even if they aren't interested in your art most of the time they will still support your goal, and they probably wouldn't object to a quick overview every once in a while!
Don't wait until last minute!
Imagine this... it's 11:54pm and you remember you haven't done your project today. It's dark, it's almost over and you're potentially tired. Take something earlier in the day, if you find something better later then awesome, if you don't at least you have something to fall back on.
At least you won't end up with the case of in 6 minutes all you can find are your dirty socks, broken hair ties and a bag of stale chips.
Plans & Back-up Plans
I'm not talking Monday - this, Tuesday - that, Wednesday - this; that would make this incredibly tedious.
If you're a photographer get to know the area around you, plan some mini-trips, get a plan of things/places you can do/go to get different things. Do you really want to take a photo of your grandmas garden everyday? It gets old.
So; you're sitting there and your daily project is finished but: OMG You have a brilliant idea! Write it down! Seriously; write down all your ideas in a notebook, a memo on your phone, whatever. Just keep a list because there will be days you're not inspired and when those days come oh look, you have ideas!
[another suggestion is try the 100 theme challenge, you can complete two challenges at once!]
You can also join groups on dA that offer prompts, online groups, blogs, tweeters(?) that offer daily/weekly/monthly prompts
Experiment
Project365 is the perfect chance for you to experiment and try new things. You're in this for a year, so why not have fun with it? It is your perfect chance to try/learn new techniques, perfect old ones and work on something different you wouldn't normally do.
This is 365 pieces, NOT 365 masterpieces
This is a tough one for a lot of people, you're not going to get a perfect artwork everyday! Don't scrap everything because you didn't get a great piece for the day. One thing you'll notice through the project is the improvement you've made. What took you all day in the beginning may only take you a short time now.
Also you get to learn new things like mentioned above, if it's not perfect, oh well. You're learning! And by learning, you are really improving.
Promote your project
Let people follow your project. Create a folder in your gallery, make an album on Facebook, create a blog, a flickr account, etc. Let the world see what you're doing. Not only does this open the chance to share your project and perhaps get some feedback, it also keeps an organization of your project.
Be Organized
This isn't the most important, but it is very helpful. Create a specific folder titled 'project 365' and put your work for the project in there. It makes it easier to keep track of where you are and see your improvement than having them scattered about your computer. If you have a special folder for art, you can always move the photos into there later.
Other Stuff
* Don't have time for project 365? try a 52 week challenge. A 52 week challenge is a less intense version of project 365. Instead of a project a week for a year
* Pick a date that works for YOU - sure Jan. 1 is quite memorable, but, so is your birthday. Christmas when you got your new gear, ect. I started mine April 1. Spring reminds me of a 'fresh start'.
* ENJOY THE RIDE! - this isn't supposed to be a chore, it's a fun project involving something you love. This is your project, your rules, your art!

Photography: A Love Story
 | |
| Good Morning Isabella I |
I was about eleven years old when I got my first camera. It was instant love, my first love. I took it everywhere with me. Every flower in sight was shot, my friends became models. My dog became an endangered animal in the Sahara that was to be the epitome of my photographic lifetime. Being a photographer quickly became my dream.
The Truth is Often Disappointing
One day my father took me for ice cream with a side of let's talk about actuality. Simply put; he told me photography was a wonderful hobby and he was glad I found an interest in something. Then came the harsh reality; it takes a lot to become a professional photographer. Most people only ever do it as a hobby; only a select few ever make it a career.
Putting it Down
I can’t tell you if it was the disappointment of learning my dream job wasn’t likely to happen or just a phase where I moved onto something new and amazing. I’m going to assume it was somewhere between the two, I sat down the camera and moved on. We saw each other from time to time but the infatuation, passion and desire were all drained. It was over between us.
Moving On
Putting down the camera didn’t kill my desire for art and creativity. I fell into a sort of adoration with a green Jackson; my guitar and writing music. When I was 13 I worked all summer to save for my dream guitar and more music lessons. I stayed up at night; my fingers bled and calloused.
My porch became a stage, my friends were rockstars and the trees in my yard were our ever loving fans. After a few months came what is now referred to as the talk of reality and disappointing honesty happened again.
Finding deviantART
I got my first deviantART account when I was 14 in 2005. I found it while looking for inspiring visual artwork to write off of for my 9th grade creative writing class. I looked through it and it seemed like a good place for my writing (which had become my forte at that point). I was in awe at the visual artworks. It all seemed so unfathomable to me. Drawing had always been something I wasn’t talented in. Photomanipulation seemed absolutely unreal to me. Pretty quickly though; I found myself drawn to the photography. It amazed me; one of the first photographers I can remember finding equally amazing and inspiring was kkart.
New Beginnings & Old Friends
About 9 years later: June 22, 2009: it was 5:24 am; I was driving to the
hospital to have my daughter. The sun was just beginning to touch the sky,
 |
| Good Morning Isabella IV |
Within a few weeks after having her and taking those photos I
found myself falling in love again. Slowly I began taking my camera with
me when I’d go for walks with my daughter. I craved it all over again.
My First d-SLR
Finally in 2011 I got my first d-SLR. I had saved anything I could for 5 months and put it towards it.
The funny (and painful) thing was; it took me about 3 months to get comfortable even holding it. I was so afraid of breaking it, but as soon as I gathered the courage it quickly became my favorite possession.
Dreams Come True… [kinda]

Dreams Come True… [kinda]
Within the past few years I’ve learned that all those things I
found unbelievable are fully believable. I am still far from the most
amazing photographer; but I am far better than I was when I was eleven.
Or twenty-one. kkarts photos still leave me in a slightly more than envious awe, as do many other photographers.
Yet still… I’ve started my own little business doing portraits,
weddings, etc. and selling my prints. It’s far from a career but I’m
still doing it. I’ve both succeeded and failed in the world of
photography. I’ve been rejected and praised. I’m growing, learning and I'm in love again.
EDIT: I got a Daily Deviation on this on deviantART!!! You can see it on this deviation

selective color tutorial - GIMP
I don't write a lot of tutorials, mostly because my descriptions are often confusing; but I notice a lot on Facebook people wanting to do selective color on photos of their children and such; so here is an actual tutorial for you. I posted it quite a while ago on my dA page, but it works for the latest updates of GIMP as well.
If you don't have GIMP it is free to download and while it's not photoshop it is a decent equivalent of it.
Some photos I've done using this method:

Cameras & Children
It can quite easily be said spending some quality one-on-one time with each of your children is an important part of both parenting and growing up. I like to take each of my kids out individually from time to time to let us bond and have some time together without distractions or interruptions from the other little ones.
My 7 year old son is entering his first photo contest; over the past year or so he has shown a keen interest in photography [momma's little guy!? I'd say so!] so we decided a little camera adventure down by the lake would be an awesome idea, and we had a lot of fun!
Here are some of the things we found while out
Update: he won the photo contest! His entry was similar to mine of the ducklings on the log. He actually crawled down the rocks off the dock to get closer to them, it was well captured! Proud mama here!
