Project 365 - Days 29-31

My first full month of Project 365 has just been completed!  It's been a blast so far without too many challenges yet, but I'm sure I'll encounter those days soon. Here are Days 29-31 followed by a short slideshow of the month's photos at the end of this post!  Enjoy!  Please leave a comment and tell me what you think about the series so far.

[029/365] :: Flats.  My wife and her shoes...She's most comfortable in a pair of slippahs, but slips into some toe coverings when the weather turns cooler or when her outfit dictates it.  I've seen he wear these particular flats before, but they grabbed my attention a little bit when I saw them on her this evening.  I guess I like the pattern or something.  I was trying to do this photo in black and white, but I couldn't get the right look I was looking for in post, so I desaturated it a little and gave it a light tint.

[030/365] :: The Sniper.  It's the Canon EF 400mm ƒ/5.6L USM.  This is my longest reaching lens used mainly for surf photography from the beach.  It also doubles as a wildlife or birding lens.  I have also had great success using this as a portrait lens with enough distance between me and the subject.  I took this photo using another gem in my lens lineup, the Canon EF 135mm ƒ/2.0L USM.  Each of these lenses has a very limited use because of their long focal lengths, but I don't think I'll ever get rid of either of them because I consistently get outstanding results from each one.

[031/365] :: Keep It Simple.  I had a lot of ideas running through my head about what type of shot I wanted to shoot for today, but they were getting too complicated and it would have taken a while to get the shots set up, so I decided to just keep it simple with a nice flower shot.  I don't normally shoot these type of shots, but it's something I wanted to try especially since I've been playing with my 135L for the past couple days.  I like the simplicity of the single flower and uncluttered background.

Well, that's it for the first month of my Project 365!  On to the next!
