Day 1: Binary Day

Happy new year! And welcome to my 365 project. I have had this image planned for a while as my first photo. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to take this picture at precisely one minute past midnight, I was in the pub getting drunk with my friends! This image, taken a little later, will have to do! It was shot with my 50mm Minolta Macro lens at f2.8 and 1/100. Cropped and straightened in Adobe Lightroom.

Page of manual read: Page 56 – Shooting an image the way you want it (exposure mode)

Images looked at: Browsed flickr and checked out the photos displayed at The Washington in Sheffield.

Other Inspiration: Listened to a lot of music tonight with my friends. Midlake stood out as my favourite. Check them out.
