SoFoBoMo Day 1/31

So, yesterday I decided to do SoFoBoMo. This is a challenge to yourself (like NaNoWriMo) to produce a photobook in a month. My month will therefore be 18th May - 18th June. :)

The most important thing (apart from the pictures) is a title. And the My Coventry project the BBC ran, and I got exhibited in, inspired me to choose, well, My Coventry as a project. The nooks, crannies and bits and pieces that people don't always notice in Coventry.

Equipment. I use a Canon 1000D (Digital SLR) and 4 lenses - 30mm 1.4, 105mm 2.8, 70-300mm 4-5.6 and a 18-55mm kit lens. This lot should be sufficient, although I really wish I had an off-camera flash... :/

Next problem - actually taking photos. I toddled into town after work and took about 200 photos. Having gone though them, I might, if I'm lucky, get 10-11 of the 35 I need. :/ To the right is a rather nice picture of Trinity Church that I got lying down on the floor and praying I didn't get run over...

While I was taking pictures (actually, lying on the grass trying to get some bluebell pictures - none of which came out sharp) a man started watching me. Just standing and watching. And when I moved on, he just moved to a different seat. Which seemed creepy. Turned out he was a photographer and interested in watching someone at work... :) Was a nice guy. :)

Now I just need to figure out how to take 20+ more decent photos, figure out re-takes and if I can get access to any better angles... Oh, and then put it all together! Wish me luck...
