As long as I don't have to do it all in one go, I might try several 15 or 20 minute periods. It might actually benefit the project with different lighting at different times of the day.

I actually like the idea, but the thought of spending 2 hours in the bathroom is taking things a bit far.

Yeah, two hours does sound extreme.

However, to put my original suggestion in context, the idea is to force you to see ordinary things in different ways. It's an exercise in getting you out of a creative rut, and is something I should try more often.

In fact, I think I'll book the bathroom for Sunday morning.

If I forced myself to spend 2 hours in our bathroom, I'd probably start to go insane.

That happened a long time ago, Nick.

I think I'll stay in mine until I have the 100.

I've done 13 minutes and got about five shots. That's only just over 40 in two hours. I have started with some macro shots and might be a bit quicker once I switch to still life and stuff.

Right, I've decided that I'm not going to do this tomorrow.
I think the time I'd spend in the bathroom could be better used on the computer finishing off the cropping/rotating/spot removal on my Dorset set of images.
Once I've got them up online I shall return to this endeavour.

Good plan.

I'm uploading Lyme Regis as I type. Then I'll spend a bit of time captioning and tagging on Flickr.

I really need to learn to do that before I upload!

I'll take a look either later tonight or tomorrow, probably leaving copious amounts of comments too.
Oh, I have a cunning plan, but I'll notify you about that shortly.

EDIT - I'm working through my images chronologically, so just to let you know where I am, I've just completed the farm machinery.

I'm uploading batches of places in a roughly west to east format.

Which is getting off topic. :D
