Official 24 hours of Photography Review thread (4/1/09)

[jorgemonkey]

No, this is not an April Fools joke, but here is the official thread.

For those who missed the other sticky, here is the low down:

"If you're not familiar with the 24 series, it is basically a photo assignment on the mass level. People shoot within a single 24 hour period whatever they happen to see and experience - work, family, sunsets, events, travel, etc. The collected works become a "slice of life." We could do our own experiment, with the resultant work being a slice of the lives of photographyreview.com members.

All that is required of you if you wish to participate is to photograph your slice of life between 12:00am and 11:59pm of your time zone on the day chosen."

I will post a couple replies to this thread, Hit "Quote" to reply to that individual post so you can post photos taken during that time period. For those of you who view the threads in the threaded form, you'll be able to see the photos in order.

Lets see those pictures!

My first job of the day - around 9am - check on and feed stray kittens reported dumped on unused land close to our house.

Just before 12 noon,a passerby helps me figure out which ones are male and female, and two ladies returning from the fields sit awhile with me.We discuss our families - always a good topic .

Poor things, Susan. You're a good person to care for them.

Scott, I don't understand the post it here times up there.....We can't post within a post unless I'm missing something.

Oops, hit "Quote" and respond to it that way. I believe that will keep them threaded.

If you go to the "Display Modes" tab, along the top of the first post, you can change it to "Switch to Threaded mode" and you can see what he means.

OK now that Susaan has gotten the party started, lets roll

[susaan]

O K Jetrim !!!

I personally hate to take pictures while shaving.....

[Cathathome]

I've been away for the past few days and had forgotten, but there's still many hours left in the day!

Jetrim, I love the coffee mug - very apropos, since in French, April Fool is called "Poisson d'avril " (April Fish).

I have to get more coffee before I get my camera, but I'm happy to have an excuse to take lots of pics today

And this is what I ended up with when I wanted to post.

Good morning, everyone. I'm getting ready to go out and shoot some film to test a newly repaired camera I acquired recently. This will be the first roll through it, so let's hope it turns out...I think it will.

This is the first time I've had the whole day to devote to the 24hr project, so I hope to use it wisely. Of course, I have to start with a healthy breakfast, but I'm postponing coffee for later. Then I gotta pick out some film. Mmmm.....filllmmm. Then Callie comes over to help me pack my camera bag. Now I'm heading off to wander around downtown. Be back soon.

And a couple from me ...

First, a pic of me having after lunch coffee ..

Then, I walked down the road and took this piece of wall art. It was created by a Youth Offenders Team (presumably as part of their rehab).

Cheers

Here are my 6 to Noon pics. I'll admit it I don't get up and at it as early as some of you but I do end up going to work everyday. At any rate here are a few from this morning. First of all a little breakfast of Joy's home make sour dough bread and asparagus quiche topped off with the ever present cup of coffee. After a short walk to work, the morning paper and a second cup of coffee in the efficient carry cup. I know eventually I'll get down to work.

[shootme]

Susaan, thanks. Love what your eating, minus the pills.

Paul, I feel like you look, sorry, where's the OJ?

Mike nothing like a relaxing coffee.

OT, Looks like a nice lunch, too bad I can't make out the date on the newspaper, I do see Wednesday 1st so I guess that's enough.

Ok. Made it back from shooting the test roll. Now I gotta develop it. First I unloaded the test camera. Then I better get my chemicals into the water bath...whoa, there almost the right temp already. Better hurry and get my darkroom stuff ready. Check. Next, I load the film on the reel.

I have my Canon Digital Rebel mated to a Nikon 105 f/2.5 manual lens in hand. At first, I could not deal with the light weight so I attached the battery grip and two batteries just to weight it down. Using manual focus this morning hasn't been bad at all. Remembering to set my shutter speed for every situation has been a challenge.

Evidence that it's spring....

I actually meant to pour a glass of OJ, but I forgot. Then, I drove downtown to take pictures and when I got there I realized I didn't have any change for the meter, so I had to go find a change machine. Next time I'll have my coffee first.

A couple of quick ones.

An 'extra' from my WTDS project and Lucky hiding in a baby carriage with dolls and toys. Cat was awakened from a nap and not very amused.
