Day Two Hundred Nine
209/365. Unconcentrated — and unhappy
Weird night. It was tough to go out and take another photo after yesterday's thievery. Thanks to everyone for their positive (and mean) comments :) I will not let this deter from the project.
However as a side note, I was quite distracted by any gust of wind. It was hard to pay attention to the photo, and not be on guard every second. A couple times I even carried back and forth my flash with me between changing camera settings. Such a pain in the ass.
Regarding the final photo... this isn't anything entirely new (from me, at least). It's more like how an athlete trains for a marathon, every so often goes on their favorite runs when they grow tired. No thinking required, just make your rounds. And as I've been told by other 365er's, they say 200-300 is the hardest.
Lastly, if you notice little speckles on the photo, that's mist from the air on the lens. It wiped off easily.
And oh yea, did you see we redesigned the Twitter homepage!

The speckles are way cool in the shot. I thought you had used a sprayer to get it. Love the blue backlight.

The speckles are cool! Makes you look like you're about to be beamed up into a spaceship, especially with one of your legs lifted up like that (at least that's what it makes me think of).

Good to see you went outside today with your gear.
Regarding the new Twitter HP: I don't get it... you have to sign out to use it? So it's just for people who don't use Twitter? It looks great though!

Well, I would help you and guard your stuff while you set up your gear but I live on the other side of the world. But that is a nice shot you got there.

nice one considering the circumstances mate .. looking back over your shoulder so to speak kinda takes the fun away i guess .. in time mate you will be fine ;) .. this is why last year i insured my gear buy paying extra with my home insurance .. dont know how it works over there but it should be the same ..

Hey man, about your flash, make sure you keep an eye on the craigslist for craigslist in your area. You're likely to see your flash on there, the person who stole it probably won't keep it.
