In Soviet Russia, Dolls Stack You – 56/365
Took this one last night as i didn’t get any shots during the day and didn’t want to miss another day out. So i got these Russian dolls my folks got me from Dubai and spent an hour or so trying to get a decent shot of them. Messed around with a desk lamp for lighting and some paper to try and soften it. Didn’t work so well and you still get a round spot on the heads. Better than it was though.
Went for a DOF shot instead of keeping it all in focus as i’ve not really made the most of the new 1.4 lens i got yet 
This Whale, Failed. – 34/365
Today as my girlfriend was having a tidy up, she found this whale money box I bought her last year. I thought it might make a nice picture for today and I went about trying to think up a fun idea.
This was a long exposure set up with a blue jumper as a backdrop and a kitchen chopping board as the floor. I took about 50 shots trying to get one that i was happy with, in some the tourch i was using to make the ‘waves’ was showing up as a reflection to much in the whale itself, you can still see it in this one, but it’s not as strong as some of the others. Need to find a way to stop it being such a direct light, for free..
Touched up slightly in Aperture afterwards, lightening the whale a bit and adding a vignette.
