Photo a Day 4 a Year – 5th Month Done

[darter02]

Hello again, I’ve posted before about this. I’ve undertaken as project, as some may recall, shooting photos daily then posting the best one I shot that day. I began in September and have just completed January. When I began this project, inspired by many users on Pbase that have led the way, I figured it would just be a fun exercise. Little did I know how passionate I would become about photography!

Even when stressful things occur to me, all I need do is think about what I want to try next or go to shoot and the stress just leaves. Of course, I had hoped this would help me learn more about my Canon 10D and it really has. I’m beginning to know what settings I need to get a good shot in various situations.

As far as creativity goes, I feel it’s been the outlet that I’ve needed for sometime. I currently work in an exhibits department for a museum of natural history. For the past ten years I’ve done a lot of different, creative projects that had stimulated me creatively but I needed something more personal, something that was totally under my own control. Photography has been the tonic to my soul! LOL (Of course now all I want is new lenses and other odds and ends!)

Please feel free to browse my gallery for January here: http://www.pbase.com/darter02/january_2004

If so inclined, please also comment on any image, especially if you wish to point out how I could make an image better. Also, please feel to vote for individual images or the gallery if you want as well.

The January gallery was great. I think I voted for 4 or 5 of them. Very good. Bill

Thanks mate!

I'm also looking for advice on how to improve any of them, so if anyone has a comment on how to make a shot better I would be most appreciative.
