We&#8217;ve reached the end, 367 days later, of my second 365 project.  Maybe when you do more than one you get extra days snuck in? I never did figure out where I dropped a couple of days, but regardless, we&#8217;re here at #365 again.  Here&#8217;s the last week in photographs.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back over the week, it looks like I was subconsciously trying to cram in a whole bunch of my favourite techniques: Lensbaby, textures, B&#038;W, long exposure &#8212; and plain old cuteness, too. I had fun playing with textures with these ornaments:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/6556629891\/\" title=\"363:365 Christmas music by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7174\/6556629891_a4d29a539f.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" alt=\"363:365 Christmas music\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And I torqued these colourful ribbons a bit with my Lensbaby lens:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/6528145765\/\" title=\"358:365 Lensbaby ribbons by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7173\/6528145765_14979c8e8e.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" alt=\"358:365 Lensbaby ribbons\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This was a picture I took over a year ago, from a boat cruise on the Ottawa River, and I stumbled across it in my archives.  I was thinking about how timeless the view of the Chateau Laurier on the bluff is, and how this particular view gives to clue to the era when it was taken, so I played with textures in Photoshop to make it look like a reaaaaaally old picture, instead of just a moderately old one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/6543230853\/\" title=\"360:365 Chateau on the Hill by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7022\/6543230853_24150d6846.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"338\" alt=\"360:365 Chateau on the Hill\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This picture doesn&#8217;t do the craziness of the light show on this house justice. Even with a wide-angle zoom, I couldn&#8217;t get it all in &#8212; and apparently they run the lights all night long.  Yeesh, so much for energy conservation!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/6534467051\/\" title=\"359:365 Crazy Christmas lights by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7002\/6534467051_30e4dcaf4d.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"332\" alt=\"359:365 Crazy Christmas lights\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I took a picture similar to this a few weeks ago, but I wasn&#8217;t thrilled with it.
