This is the tenth week of our 365 Photo Challenge. Hard to believe it’s been 70 days already! Sorry for the seemingly repeats of the nearly, but not quite full moon. Can you tell I didn’t take any photos during those days and needed something — Anything! — before I went to bed? At least…
Week Nine of our 365 Photo Challenge! Spring has definitely sprung here. Which flowers are blooming are changing and I had some wild surprises this week from daffodils I thought were completely dead last year to a lizard taking a dip in the pool. The iceplant is just starting to bloom, soon the hillside will…
Week Eight of our 365 Photo Challenge! As promised, some pictures from somewhere other than my backyard. I wasn’t able to post much earlier this week because we went to Austin, TX. We used to live there before we moved here to SoCal 8 years ago. We got to catch up with a few old…
Week Seven of our 365 Photo Challenge! Kind of an odd mix subject wise this week. Lots more flowers. The camelias are almost done, but lots of others are just beginning to bloom. I’ve noticed I’ve been in portrait mode instead of landscape mode a lot lately. Not sure why. Everything I took today was…
Six weeks in… doesn’t seem like it’s been that many already! I’m much happier with some of these than others, but mood has a lot to do with what I find the time and interest for taking pictures on a particular day. Friday and Saturday were kind of hectic days and I was lazy and…
Five weeks into the new year and this project. This week I found I kept putting off taking photos until it was too late and I didn’t have time/energy to make it come out like I wanted. Note to self, that doesn’t work as well. I also thought of a few different types of photographs…
And we’re wrapping up the fourth week of our 365 Photo Challenge. Where has January gone? Definitely feeling the creative pressure, so there are a few more experimental shots. I was feeling the time crunch so didn’t get as far in trying a kazillion different shots of the same thing except on Monday when it…
In some ways it’s hard to believe it’s already the third week of our 365 Photo Challenge. There have been a few days when I’ve wondered WHY I signed up for this, but I haven’t really had problems with finding a picture to take, even if I resort to my iPhone’s camera. I’ve noticed I’m…
This is the second week of our 365 Photo Challenge. Still clicking right along. One thing I’ve noticed, is that I still feel like I have my old camera in my hand. I’m stingy with “film” and I keep trying to advance the film with my thumb after I push the shutter button. I realized…
As you may know I got a new digital SLR camera for my birthday last year. I never “properly” learned to use all the features on the one I got for high school graduation and always relied on luck and instinct. I’ve made it a goal this year (along with two other members of my…
