I always seem to be taking photos, especially of the kids, but never seem to *quite* get them to turn out the way I want. Thus, more practice is required ... especially because I have a tendency to take photos in fits and spurts. So this year, I'm doing a few things to improve my photography skills.
First off, I'm going to start taking one of my cameras everywhere, rather than letting them languish on my desk. That means making sure I've got batteries charged for both, and I can see a trip to Costco for a supply of AAs (which is what my elderly Minolta uses).
Secondly, I'm participating in two separate photo challenges. The first is Picaboo's The Places We'll Go: A 52 week Project. This promises to be an interesting project, and I'm hoping to learn a lot more about photography along the way. I always find Picaboo's tutorials valuable, especially for this distracted photographer.
The second photo challenge is from Capture your 365. Monthly challenges are listed, which include a list of prompts, and you can even receive daily inspiration via email. I'm looking forward to this one a lot. I use a similar process for writing, and have discovered a lot about myself in the process. Who knows what photos this year will bring!
This year promises to be full of photos (and writing, of course!), and it'll certainly be nice to have a series of photos to add to my journal. I'm not sure exactly how I'm going to do this yet, but I'll figure it out as I go along.
