Very nice. Diggin the geetar shot. :thumbup:

[PhotoJet]

I'm with Chiller! Cool shot!

[CW Jones]

Thanks! This is a different style for me, I really don't have a style yet hence the project haha

[sleepingdragon]

Nice work Collin. Looking forward to seeing more.

[polymoog]

Cool, nice variety of pics :) I like the keyboard and the cake :)

[CW Jones]

Day 13! I am very surprised at how many people are actually interested, or at least say they are on here. Makes me want to keep going! So thank you all! (my Flickr has more hits than ever before!)

Nice work on the candle. I feel like I reach out and touch the wax.

[polymoog]

The liquid wax looks like drops of water in that pic :)

The liquid wax looks like drops of water in that pic :)


It is drops of water :)

[Antarctican]

This is a fun and interesting thread to monitor. So far my faves are the keyboard (day 8), and the guitar closeup (day 10). Not that there's anything wrong with the others.

[CW Jones]

Here is day 14, I really am VERY surprised at the response of people on here! Thank you all SO much! It really means a lot to me!

Day 15..... my dark side.....

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4017/4277917166_7b2774acaa_b.jpg

[polymoog]

That was the best one so far :)

[CW Jones]

Day 16! More fake blood!!! My girlfriend is great and was really fun and easy to work with for this shoot we did. This is just one of many from today with her. She is not a model and doesn't want to be one haha but she will model for me if I ask her nicely, and take her to dinner :)

Came out pretty well and she seems happy with them. This was my first try as the glamor style edit on the skin. GIMP is hard to work with sometimes, but this wasn't too bad.

Well, I'm totally smitten by that candle! Wow! What a shot! :)
(You keep posting & we'll keep looking! ;) )

[CW Jones]

Thank you Jeanette! I will make sure I keep em' coming!

[CW Jones]

Day 18. I also fixed up day 1 a bit... it looked crappy compared to the others, so it got some minor tweaks and a nice boarder :)
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2739/4285871927_aefe27ec37_b.jpg

[polymoog]

definitely like the idea for day 18, the reflection is cool, but I might have tried to get the focus on the front part of the tong as well, just an idea, don't know if it would look any better or not :)

[CW Jones]

Thanks and ya I wish I did it little different too haha. I keep forgetting about the DOF preview button haha

[CW Jones]

Here is day 19! Enjoy!

Day 27

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4030/4310109807_5a0ee77620_b.jpg

[oldfireguy]

Day 26 reminds me of my college days.

[CW Jones]

Day 28! School is starting to effect me a bit tho... rules might be altered so school comes first. I am thinking images MUST be taken on that day, but can be posted over the weekend? each day will still have its own images... just not uploaded that day because of my school... Makes sense right? School should come first? haha

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4047/4312455831_ebece56b2a_b.jpg

[NateS]

Since nobody else has said it in here, congrats on selling the candle photo...I can see why.

Day 8 is still among my favorites....very cool keyboard shot.

[CW Jones]

Well funny you bring up the candle shot... what happened was PBS' lawyers didn't like the wording in the contract.... so they had it changed. They gave me about 8 hours to sign this one and send it back... So my attorney wouldn't have a chance to look at it, I told them sorry but they would have to wait for my attorney to take a look at it they didn't understand why I couldn't just sign it... good thing he looked it over for me tho, it basically said that they owned my image now and they paid NOTHING for it! My attorney called PBS' and was trying to get my compensation for my image they would be using and selling to make a profit. They wouldn't pay, they lost the image.

It stinks because I wanted this to happen, and the first contract was perfect, second one... changed a LOT.

[Antarctican]

Keep 'em coming! (And OMG, how exciting is that to get your image snapped up like that! How did it come about...did you approach them, or they saw the image and tracked you down?)

EDIT - oh dear, I see that while I was typing my response, you had already posted an 'alternate ending' to what I thought was going to be a 'happily ever after' type of story

[CW Jones]

They actually saw it and contacted me, which was great because I really didn't have to do anything..., but a BIG red flag went up when the contract had to be changed.... I didn't mind the first one and my attorney said defiantly sign the first, but NOT the second unless I was getting money. PBS is non-profit but they still make money to pay for things like images, and video clips. No real reason I shouldn't have been compensated for them being able to sell my image. (according to my attorney)

I had to pass on the deal unfortunately :( its sad but I haven't even had my 30D for a year yet.... I will have plenty of other opportunities I am sure, until then.... on goes the project!!

Day 29 and my dirty Dakota!

[polymoog]

I haven't been to your thread for a while, but it is nice to see the variety of pics you have, as well as the way you choose to shoot the subjects :)

What is the object in day 85?

And what happened to the tyre in day 106?!

Keep up the good work :) http://www.polymoog.se/smilies/icon_thumright.gif

[CW Jones]

Thanks! I find myself limited to indoors do to weather. :(

Day 85 is a Zippo lighter. Its a little OOF because I had to flick it on.

No clue what happened to it, but I know how much it cost to fix! haha

[Antarctican]

What a great variety of pics! Very entertaining. Thanks for bringing us up to date.


(Umm, what is shot 79? A hole in a reflective sign?)

[CW Jones]

Thanks Antarctian!

Ah Day 79 is my broken golf club! haha Not my best round to say the least!
