365/365 - 1 Year in Pictures Completed Today!
Originally uploaded by Brian Scott Berkovitz Photography

I did it, I've managed to complete the 365 Photo project and it feels so great that I was able to do it. It's been a long tough year with many ups and downs. I've been frustrated at times and had great ideas others, but all in all it was well worth the project. I'm starting a different one tomorrow believe it or not!

I shot this in the backyard today with a little help from my remote shutter, and a can of orange spraypaint!

...Celebrate , good times , come on!!!...

Simple shot of the wrapping paper tubes in the living room, it's good to keep this stuff around for years to come.

I thought with only a few days left, I'd shoot a picture of some of the lenses I have been using this year, minus the 50mm prime which took the picture. Here they are, they aren't the best of lenses but they work well in my situations.

Used the 50mm with backlighting from lamp in living room. Handheld.

...caught in the camera eye...

Shot with the Tamron 200mm which is proving quite difficult the barrel is messed up. Still captured what I wanted though .

Spent way too much time trying to mount 2 doors in the house, both interior but working with the strange size openings and old hinges was a bit of a challenge. I noticed the tape measure lying around later and set up this shot.

I love the way I focused on a section of the measure and blurred everything else. You know what it is but can only see a portion of it

Shot with prime lenses through the bottle to the monitor in the background, I like the colors and the way it's blurred

Used the flash so I could get him in case he moved, no other lighting set up.

Taken behind the Dave's Market in Smithfield, RI. It has gotten very cold out recently the start of winter of course. I had been cooped up at home for most of the week due to being sick so after taking pictures of nothing much inside, I needed something different.

I think this picture captures the starkness of the landscape very nicely

I was asked to take some photos of Michelle's friend Jenn's kids for Christmas. It didn't quite work out the way I wanted with all the lighting and the fact that these 2 cuties can't sit still for more than a moment. I tried my best and capture a few good ones, I hope she likes them. This one is one of the neat pictures, she isn't using for a card, BUT it came out rather cool.

Taken a picture of the teddybear dog I ended up with the other day I noticed my little bugger sneaking up behind to pull him off the couch. If you look under the ear you can see my little guys face just out of focus. I couldn't resist not using this one for the baby series #5, he's in there..

Neat shot, focused on the foreground so dog is out of focus as well as baby but neat result.

...He can see all obstacles in his way....

Wow, great decorations on this house. I could see it from the main street everytime I headed home from work, so I finally turned down the street to get a closer look. What a great job they did, it looks better in person..

Had to adjust the shutter speeds and white balance a bit to capture enough of the lights and background, nice shot overall I thought

We set up our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, took my old prelit minilight tree and removed those and replaced them with 630 colored LED lights! The funny thing is these lights are using 75% less energy so equivalent to only around 150 regular lights :) We all need that savings in this economy....

I liked the way the lighting came out in this one... captures the colors of the tree quite nicely, this was taken pre-ornament.

Adjusted the white balance and shutter speed to cpature the warm colors of the woods and the browns of the turkeys otherwise they were bluish tinted from the gray skys....

I snapped a few quick pictures this day and thought they came out better than they did.

I didn't quite achieve what I was trying here...

After yesterday's debacle the two of us didn't really want to venture into the water, Michelle had got sand and salt water in her eyes and they were still bothering her today and for days after. The safari tour driver even let her sit in the front of the car with him so she could keep the wind out of her eyes. Here is the winding down part of our tour where we had a few hours at the beach, I walked in a bit and the undertown was insane, so very pretty to look at though, the scenery is so unbelievable here....

On the beautiful island of St. Lucia , it was supposed to be a fun at the beach day, however the beach they brought us to was terrible, a short section of steep shoreline behind some resort. The waves got so big that one walloped half of the people in the water , knocked me under and hit my head against the sand, got up and out of the water. The red flags were flying but nobody told us about them. The water was pretty , just really dangerous that day. You can see our new friends Jeff and Carla in the water here...

Pictuers is some Sour Sap (prickly pear we call it I think), some Sugar Bread, and some Coconut breat. We also had some green oranges and some Golden apples, and some sugar cane, what a great way to sample the local flavors.

They saw me come up with my phone in one hand and camera bag in the other and not long after they all took off. Perhaps they thought I was going to report them all. I don't know. Well inside wasn't much to see but some picnic tables plus I didn't enter as it stated No Trespassing. Ah well...

Not the greatest shot but of some interest to see the dilapitated boards and the undergrowth of the forest taking the space back.

I used some more settings on my camera playing with WB and Exposure to capture the color of the sun. It was hard to get an angle on this that didn't make it look like it was leaning over, even this one looks that way a little even with the camera level...

Went to visit my friend Pam and outside her house were these large hay bale rolls. I never knew quite how large they were until I walked up to these. They are a good 5ft high and 5 to 8ft long. Wow. What a better shot of the day for me!!

I played with the exposure settings ont he camera and got this shot in a quickly darkening sky.

..mini mini mini mini wheats (they’re our new flavour).....

This was an odd sight to see in front of me, I wasn't quite sure what I was following . Is it some weird molecular sculpture, some giant beach balls, no. It's actually some rather large tanks I assume propane tanks for homes or businesses, but from this angle it gave a neat shot...

Point and Click threw the windshield.

...Combo 1,2, ah 3,4,5......

Ok, I had said I wanted to put another self portrait shot in this month so here it is. I was just goofing around with the camera trying different things with my reflections and ended up with this off the side of a outdoor spotlight bulb.

Nothing special , like I said just a goof off 365 shot today, my first.. ha ha...

....won't you come on in....

At Asia Grille last week I set up this shot with my chopsticks and soy sauce bottle, I tried a few closeups of the food and other things but I thought this one fit the best.

A simple shot in low lighting, after learning a lot about lighting AFTER taking this picture I would have tried a few different approaches on this, but I like the shot, simple yet effective...

Snapped a few picture while we were out at BoxSeats having a bite to eat and went with this one, Unfortunately the Yankees are beating us. I notice how the bright TV stands out sooo much in the dark picture laden walls , it's called BoxSeats for a reason though....

Nothing special, a little noise in the picture on Auto ISO but you get the idea...

.....Red Sox, you are the only only only....

The leaves have started falling and fall is finally here, I like the changing colors happening everywhere.... This were a pile of leaves I moved around in the parking lot next to my car , I tried a few different shots and thought this one the best...

It has noticable blur in front and back, I'm learning about bokeh now and I can see some in here... I think the eye is attracted to the center of the picture more than anywhere else..

...and the sky is gray...

Day 272/365 - Oh yes, wait a minute Mister Postman.....

I took a picture of something I walk by everyday, imagine that. I was trying to get less frustrated with my lack of creativity and just take some simple pictures of things I normally pass on over, of course from different angles, perhaps I'll do another shot from a different angle tomorrow, who knows....

nice texture, nice clarity, you can still read everything ....

Ahh nothing like a big tall glass of grape juice to cool my mouth down after the buffalo wings we made this night. We made 3 different levels of hotness and the hottest ones were a bit spicy, whew.... Michelle never has a problem but her lips were tingling too after those... mmm mmm good....

Closeup of the drink, wasn't sure how it would come out but I liked the outcome...

...you've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time....

Gross, there are so many different nasty spiders around here, I can't wait until the first frost to get rid of these things. Some of them are downright huge. This one hung on a web outside our sliding door it looked as if he was stuck on his own web. I don't know what kind of spider this is, but it doesn't look good to me...

Neat shot with the blurred background reflected off the glass.

...went up the water spout.....

I didn't have many shots from this day I realized but there always seems to be one of the baby in there somehow, ha ha.... Here he is just playin in the crib for a moment after his bath. He's lookin' at his daddy with the camera , as usual... As if to say, come on Dad, enough already...

Used flash, but nice bright colors on this.

I was trying some new techniques with my camera, specifically lighting and objecting in a dark room. I have used this figure before but with the different textures I thought it was a good subject, so here he is again. Plus he was close at hand.

I don't like the fact that it is very grainy in the dark areas, in the small picture you don't notice it, but blown up you see a lot of artifacts.... I'll keep at it..

...he fell off and bumped his head...
