52 x 2 - 2023 photo project

 Hi everyone, I hope you and yours are doing well. I am a little late posting this week. At the beginning of January I was 'encouraged' by a fellow photography group member to do another 52x2 photo project - 52 weeks - 2 photos a week - one colour and one mono. It is certainly a good way of keeping up your photography practise and actively looking for things to photograph. 

And trying mono photography too. Mono is black and white - or shades of one colour - for instance you could have a photo which is all shades of blue. I wrote more about mono photography in a previous blog post - click on the link highlighted in the previous sentence. 

I did a 52x2 in 2015 and also a couple of 365's - a photo every day! - in 2014 and 2020-21 during the Covid pandemic. 

I am certainly not going to make any promises about keeping the project up for a whole year - but I have made a start - here are the first 4 weeks - January 1-28th.

It's been very hot - so we haven't been far from home in January. 

Week 1 - colour - for the '50' topic for photography group - 

Week 1 - mono - agapanthus - from below -  



Week 2 - mono - trees along the road from town to home 


Week 3 - colour - sunset over the Leschenault Estuary - 



Week 4 - colour - lavender in my garden - the bees are loving it - 


Week 3 - mono - old spoons - for a 'still life' topic for photography group - 

Week 4 - colour - Australia Dray fireworks over Koombana Bay in Bunbury 

Week 4 - mono - enamel plates and cup on the sink! 

Bonus shot - week 4 - dragon boat regatta hosted by the Forza Dragon Boat Club in Bunbury


That's it from me for this week. Have you ever done a photo a day project?

  5. That sounds like a great project idea. I've never done one. I do like black and white and the hues of brown.

  6. Your photos are always fabulous, my friend. I absolutely adored the old spoon photos. . .seems to be a pattern these days, the older I get the more I like photos of 'old things'! :-)
