And that was the end of that...

I'm out. I entered this challenge to learn some stuff and have fun and I did both of those things (and I took some photos I'm really proud of), but it's becoming a chore now and I don't want that. I still have a few unused ideas I had written down for this challenge, which I'm probably gonna do sooner or later, but I kinda like the idea that I can do them on my own time.

To all remaining participants: Good luck and have fun completing those 30 days! I will still be looking at all of your portraits daily and will probably throw in a few comments regularly.

Day 9: The Smile

I noticed I didn't smile on any of my photos so far, so here it is (just don't get used to it :P )

Sorry... I wasn't feeling really creative today :)

Day 8: Caffeine Junkie

There is no better way to wake up than with a fresh cup of coffee in the morning.

I received my macro extension tubes in the mail yesterday. I actually planned to do a macro shot of me drinking a cup of coffee, but that didn't turn out the way I hoped. I guess I need a little bit more practice with that, so I went with a different approach.

Day 7: Kitchen King

Is there anything more relaxing than cooking on a Friday evening after a long, stressful week?

I like using Photoshop, unfortunately I'm not very skilled in it. Today was the first time I tried to do some cross processing, which I'm definitely gonna experiment with more often. Some areas in the picture became a little dark, so in case you're wondering what I'm cutting: it's a zucchini.

Day 6: My Turn

I think I did this one in a record time. Setting it up, executing and post processing within half an hour. Hopefully I have some more time to have a good look at and comment on all of your great photos tomorrow, 'cause today is pretty swamped.

Day 5: Modern Man

Thanks for all the nice comments yesterday. I thought of some ideas this morning to improve the shot, which I never would have thought of last night, but oh well... new day, new glory ;)

I'm not really a gadget guy, but I had the idea for this photo for a while. Most of the stuff in this photo is borrowed. I guess this is more of a satire of people who feel the need to be reachable all the time and have the need to own all the latest stuff.

I kinda look clumsy holding all that stuff, and it actually was. I almost dropped:
- The PDA
- One of the mobile phones

I did drop:
- The other mobile phone
- The bluetooth headset
- The laptop
- The PDA pencil (four times)

Day 4: Late-night reader

I usually don't submit photos until I'm happy with them (that's probably also why I haven't got more entries here at Worth :D ). So, I'm sorry, this didn't turn out the way I hoped and I'm not entirely satisfied with this, but it's been a long day and I really need some sleep. I guess with 30 days of shooting they can't all be masterpieces. Oh well, another chance tomorrow :) (but I would like to cross single light source of my list).
