A New Endeavor
Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007One thing I have been intrigued by for a long time is photography. I don’t think I am a very good one, but I would like to be a better one. For my birthday last year, I used my gift money for a Pentax point and shoot (Optio E10). I enjoyed it for quite a while, but then found myself wanting to push it beyond what it was capable of doing. The camera is a good one, but it is totally automatic, which does not allow for some of the manual adjustments that one needs to make to be more creative with one’s photographs.
So with my Christmas gift money I am upgrading (Linda will get my old one) to one with more manual control over things like focus, shutter speed and aperture. It is on its way, but hasn’t arrived yet.
However, that is only an introduction to what I wanted to write about.
The new endeavor is to try to take a photograph a day to capture something of the days events. This is one suggestion that many people have found helpful in stretching their skills in photography. So while I am awaiting the new camera, I am starting the project. The sidebar widget will give you a window into my latest posts. I hope you will enjoy them as much as I hope to enjoy the challenge of taking them.
