2025 Reflections Throwdown

Thanks very much Rob 🙂 , I will shoot from sunday to sunday each week and post my fav on the sunday of that week.

I found this one by accident haha , i was looking at something else and picked it up to move it and quickly noticed it was better than what i was looking at using.

Thank you 🙂

Ha , i keep missing replies so sorry , total fluke finding this but it seemed to good to pass up 🙂

Sorry i just noticed your reply Dahlia , yes please if you have the time could you remove anything that is double posted please , Thank you very much ..just when you Can 🙂 …

@dahliaambrose

Thank you very much for posting Tersha , Funny thing is i always resize and save for web when posting on the forum (which is the correct way ) Always from my computer , i don’t use any other form of upload , tbh i don’t ever click on the full resolution images that get shared on the forum that are hosted on Flickr i dislike being redirected if i’m honest.

The photos always seem to come back after the post has been buried a few days lol

Thank you wendy for commenting i appreciate your time and kind words , just to say i had a bunch of photos i never used and just as a test i made a random collage from them and even just with 9 .. 3 rows of 3 they take on a whole other vibe which i never expected and i like it 🙂

Thank you so much Dahlia , and most welcome regarding the thread 🙂 .. I am having a lot of fun with it ,  so many things to use for reflections 🙂

Oh yeah fair game 🙂

The couple you have posted , if you carry on in this you will have a powerful set Diane.

Awesome so far 🙂

Just fit them in when you can , even if you don’t share please keep taking them each week and you will have a powerful set at the end and then you can work out what you want to do with them 🙂 ..Good on ya 🙂

@tersha

Yes thank you Diane , Dahlia was kind enough to sort it not long after i posted …

I posted an image above but it has not showed since i posted it , I don’t mind tbh i shot a good few photos for week six so i had a selection to pick from .. Since that photo above has not come back i am just going to add this new photo in it’s place .. i know where i am up too so all good ( it’s under control 🙂 ..

6/52 2025 reflection self portrait

This is an older shot , just posting the odd one i find as a reflection shot and not part of this project , it was hard to pass by this window when i seen it all growing on the inside , i need to look out for more of this type 🙂

Thank you , when i took it i turned round and someone was watching me i went as red as those coke cans lol

Thank you 🙂

This post reminded me i forgot to go pick my new seat up this week 🙂 i better go this week

The council had been trimming the roadside bushes and i seen this on the ground and took a quick grab as was passing , i think it belongs to the out of frame house so they can reverse out onto the road safely ( it is on a bend in the road )

Just some info , I noticed there is a good number of others who are also doing this project both on IG and FB , When it is all finished Matt ( the guy that suggested it ) will be going over lots of stuff about how you can get your work into a book or zines your choice really 🙂 .. Matt has done this a number of times so looking forward to that part very much , he will also have updates on anything via YT but these are slower to arrive.

Just some info 🙂 we are not alone haha

Thank you very much , i shot that one today i knew i had no time left so took a small mirror with me on my dog walk and used a rock to hold it 🙂

All good thank you as well 🙂 i have never logged in to LS with my phone , i have browsed the blog but never actually signed in on phone.

Thanking you 🙂

Haha , i can only guess because they seem to take extra long unloading the van when they seen a camera , this is an auction house these two work there it caught me by surprise and almost got no shot but i instinctively tried then just kept on walking down the road 🙂

Lol they thought i was going to rob it haha

🙂 Thank you kindly Dahlia really appreciated 100% 🙂

The only thing warm and fuzzy round here is my socks haha , i have all those colors with these lights , i was shooting with the main lights off and when i tried red and green the light was very low and i had to bump the iso very high the shutter was already slow a bit too slow to be honest i always flinch or something and results is blurry eyes , the blue it’s actually aqua give enough brightness to show my face more and the yellows not very strong.

Thank you very much Dahlia 🙂

I tend to favor low light and when i add my own artificial light i think i bring it a to bit close because they are not very bright , the mirror has scuff marks on it( they are plastic mirror tiles and i think they are spreading the light into a flare or sorts , this had a few competing details and the bright part is where i want the viewer to land.

Haha , i’m in the same boat mate but sunday is always that way the freak out before the new week  starts 🙂

Thank you very much Dahlia 🙂

That is very kind of you Sir thank you so much , you encourage me to do more haha i’m a serious as well 🙂

Just had a lovely bath haha , i washed all the grime away 🙂 Thank you very much i was actually feeling good 🙂

Thank you Rob , i always brushed the idea away before,  not projects just the thoughts of me putting the time into it , i tried a month long , one a day , at the very beginning of my journey and i lasted about 9 days 🙂 … I got to a point were i would come home with a couple of pictures but not really anything other than single frames and no story , i wanted to try complete at least one series of images on the same thing and this selfie project came along and i jumped in both feet , really glad i did because the year was going to pass one way or the other and i was determined to have something / anything completed by the end of 2025 , the what ifs went away 🙂 its almost done now and it was not such a big deal to do when i sit and think about it a year sounds hard before you start but it’s not so bad , god love those that do it for 10 years or more on the same story that’s committed hard hard work.

Thank you David , I think i have always had a restlessness about me , i have never thought about it much but i wonder that if when i was growing up we moved home /country a lot after the age of 9 years old , a few years living in england ( north west) then back to belfast , then back to england and each time it was starting New school , new area to get used too , new friends to find , and with this constant change i never really felt rooted to anyone particular place , the older i got it never went away , i have since lived , england ,wales , scotland , So maybe this plays a small part in me always moving to the next frame ( or in other words  restlessness ) The novelty of something soon passes , Photography , ART , Dogs are the few things in my life that thankfully don’t have that novelty factor for me.

I was ambitious with my title hahaha

Thank you Rob , i re done week 43 today after posting this i felt bad because it was a remix of a shot i already submitted as one of the weeks previous , not in keeping with the spirit if i let that go and i can’t as every photo so far has been on that week it was suppose to be that is why i redone it today sunday 🙂 .. will post it shortly

Thank you so much Dahlia 🙂

Week 43 Replacement Frame

I know the name but never played it , mostly sim racing in my game days haha , all my mates they played all the shoot em ups , last shoot em up i played was one of the call of duty titles and the first level was on a ship in a thunderstorm so the swaying of the boat and the almost strobe like lighting from the lightning made me so sick , that was the last game i ever played haha.

Thank you for looking in i agree not your normal selfie lol , to be honest i was not really in the mood for photos yesterday ( tired ) but shot it anyway and this resulted in my mind with a lazy effort an easy and quick image to make.

I must admit i noticed since week 42 i am beginning to fade a little , i will finish it no matter though only a few more to finish 7 weeks left now.

Very Kind my friend thank you very much Dahlia 🙂

I couldn’t agree more Dahlia , or in my case a sausage supper … I can’t do fish lol

Thank you so much 🙂

Thank you so much , i had a great 2 hours even though it was a rainy session today is much the same a dark damp day , now at home warming my toes haha
