Project 365: Grocery Shopping

12/18/09
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.

Grocery Shopping

1/10/10 - Day 23

Figured I would go grocery shopping today with my better half and use it as an opportunity to play with the macro lens. I was able to get a few shots off before the store manager approached and told me "no cameras allowed - company policy". I chose this image because of the way the mesh bag holding the oranges goes in and out of focus due to the shallow depth of field.
