Finally completing my Newtown Project

So as you may remember in 2020 I set myself a project of Photographing the old boathouse at Newtown once per month for the whole year. Obviously 2020 threw a couple of spanners in the works and I was not able to get to Newtown during March or April that year.

I’m very pleased to have now finished my project in April 2021 having captured an image in March 2021 as well.

Overall I am very happy with how the project went, and really pleased with the images captured. I think the last two captured are two of my favourites perhaps showing the development in my photography over the year.

Two other images stand out as highlights for me as well, the July image capturing Comet Neowise over the old boathouse will always be a memorable moment and I was so happy to be able to feature that in this project.

Not selected for the project but another capture of Neowise over Newtown

Another highlight was capturing the Ursa Major constellation over the boathouse in September. I’m really please with how much Astro photography I was able to do in 2020 and how my technique improved through the year.

The September image has been added to my portfolio and has proved popular

There are a couple of images that I’m not especially happy with but I think that will always be the way with a project such as this.

Although at times I have found the project restrictive I’m really pleased I have completed it and overall am really happy with the body of work. Its been really pleasing to see the progression in my work during the year as well.

I’m now well underway with my 2021 project “12 Significant Images” and you can follow the progress here in the blog.
