So it's been about 3-4 months now since my last blog update, I guess I'm not as efficient at time management as I would like to be, but I do miss writing about my daily adventures so thought I should get back into it. I actually have 4 written blogs that I haven't posted yet so today is the day!
The whole point of starting this blog was as a record for my Photo a day project and when I took holiday's over Summer I just didn't want to go near a computer every day hence the lack of updates. I am going to endeavour to go back though and write a mini blurb about the past few month's worth of photo's because despite not writing about it, I am actually still going strong and haven't missed a day yet.
As I've said before it is tough trying to find something interesting to photograph every single day but I am really enjoying the challenge and have to say that it does occupy quite a bit of brain space each day. To help me out this month I have decided to join in a "photo a day" challenge set by another much better blogger "fat mum slim". From what I can gather she started the photo a day challenge in Jan and assigns a word per day per month to photograph - so it will be interesting to actually keep to a schedule for the month and not just shoot whatever takes my fancy - I'm hoping it will hit a few creative buttons in my brain and make me think a bit more outside the square when taking photo's.
On the camera front, I have finally learnt how to use some more of the settings on Dad's DSLR camera, it's only taken me how long and I've read the manual many times over the past 8 months also. So I can now set the white balance and RGB colours, can take black and white photos and do some fancy effects. I still totally suck at apertures (unless I'm using the macro lens) and long/ short exposures so that is my next challenge I guess to get on top of these. I've been using my macro len's a lot more lately and loving the results and I'm also using my phone camera a lot more - it's just kinda fun to use all the fancy app's. I mostly use a program called Camera 360 and it gives me some fun colour and retro effect options for my photos.
So that is the status of my 365 project as of March. Hopefully I can catch up quickly on the past few months worth of photo's - my biggest issue will be running out of internet access over the next month as I have a very limited amount of access.
Ciao Donna
