One Click One Pic
For several months I was looking forward to last night: it was D-Day for “the largest photography project ever undertaken”. In a single moment (rather than across a period of time) Project “One Click One Pic” goal was to catch the earth as it was on Saturday 24th October 2009 from vantage points all over the world. That moment was precisely 24th October 2009 @ 8.00am, Townsville Queensland Australia (GMT+10.00) – which was midnight here in Malta.I hate to use this awfully clichéed phrase, but it actually was a dark and stormy night LOL! Although I had always had in mind to go out and look for a really unique shot to contribute, the weather forced me to stay closer to home. Thankfully it wasn’t raining, and my tripod withstood the stormy onslaught well. In fact, I’m rather happy about my catch! (Click on the images to enlarge)

The clock shows one minute before midnight, but it was exactly 0:00 hrs, and even the church bell announced midnight, while I was pressing the shutter release button! Once I was out there anyway, I took another shot of the whole street, which was completely deserted at witch hour – a side effect of the wind, which I was rather happy about!

I’m extremely happy with the EOS 5D Mark II… I have a feeling that a few night photo-shoots are coming up soon!
The beautiful collection of photos from around the globe are slowly trickling in at the project’s gallery.
