Patience

Sometimes patience is what you need to get the right image. Take this one for example. It is a 10 minute exposure, during which I was checking my watch every 30 seconds or so and thinking "is it time yet!" I'm glad I waited. Ending the exposure early would have resulted in a dark image with little contrast.

This was shot durung what was the "biggest full moon of the year". I was out shooting that night, and did not take a single picture of the moon. I figure that everyone is going to have that shot (especially when it was low on the horizon, although the colors at sunset were incredible). Instead I decided to use it as the world's largest nighttime light source. I will be coming back to this theme (night shots) over and over.

The calendar moves on...

Here are the past few day's photos. I may be a little late in posting sometimes, but I will try to catch up. I'm trying to abide by the spirit of the assignment, which is to keep creating new images, rather than the letter of the assignment (365 posts).

Photo a day

I have a little assignment I've given myself for 2009. I hope to shoot and post one good image every day during 2009. I also am going to shoot food images (which is an interesting choice for someone who has lost almost 90 lbs. since January) so I figure that will play into my "assignment" as well. I am looking to be as different with the images as I can, to stretch my creative horizons. We'll see what it looks like by this time next year...
