Recent participation in some photography forums has piqued an interest in doing a Project 365. Photography has been a hobby on and off for over 40 years and in the last 18 months my interest has intensified. So I've decided to jump in, give it a shot (no pun intended) and see if I can shoot every day for a year.

My expectations for this project are that it will provide motivation to expand my skills both behind the camera and in post-processing and provide a vehicle for experimentation. My photog pal Doug has been a great mentor, so I want to publicly say thanks; this is your fault (kidding of course).

It is going to be a learning experience, so any and all comments, critiques and encouraging words are welcome.

Thanks for viewing.

Light at the End of the Tunnel


12/26/09
It snowed all day and was pretty gray out; not good conditions for shooting photos.  Took a couple of shots from the car but wasn't satisfied.  Later on, when the snow stopped, I took the D90 out for some night shooting.  Had a few interesting shots, but this one of the pedestrian bridge over McHenry Road, taken about 8:40pm, is today's choice.  The clouds had thinned and the moon was out.  The light was an interesting balance between cool moonlight and warm streetlights.  This was a 6 second exposure (on a tripod).

    Thanks Rick. It was about 21F out when I took this shot...but I was bundled up with hat, coat, gloves. Could not even imagine being in the water. Happy New Year to you and Sandy.
