Stopping the 365 (366)

This time for real, not like when I did it as an April Fools joke ^^;

Don’t worry, I’m going to keep taking pictures and post them here as a photo blog, but it wont be a requirement to to it every day anymore (I already missed a day a week ago today anyway…)

Mainly my decision comes because I originally wanted to get myself out taking more pictures and experiment with my cameras and get to know them better and try different things.  I did this for about 2/3 of a year which to me is a pretty big accomplishment, but I feel like now I’m just forcing myself to find stuff to take pictures of and it’s lost it’s fun.  Plus, I feel like I got out of this what I wanted to get out of it… I feel like my photography is improved and I’m not as afraid about my abilities when I pick up a camera.  For that reason, this was a success.

I will post any pictures I took of things that I feel were interesting up until today soon ^^

 

Day 241 – Tanpopo

Day 241 - Tanpopo

My Goldfish! Somehow it’s still living after nearly 3 years…. somehow!

This photo was fun to take. Polarizer filter with a close up filter on top of it, shot through glass. Lighting was bounce flash bounced off of reflector from the left. That’s why the left side is illuminated while the right side is darker ^^
