Container & Contents

5/22/10 - Day 155
Today's Daily Shoot assignment #188: "Baskets, bags, and boxes: containers often go unnoticed.  Make a photo focused on the container rather than the contents." was perfect because I was able to shoot the container with the contents.

My Olympus point & shoot is good, but I was getting frustrated with the lack of control on exposure, shutter speed, depth of field, etc.  Read about this new camera just out with a fast f1.8 lens, good zoom and ability to shoot in multiple modes.  It was the same price as the lens I've been thinking about so am giving it a try.  Since I don't carry the dslr everyday, this looks to be a great alternative.

Part of the Kit

4/3/10 - Day 106
Today's Daily Shoot assignment is "Paper is versatile and malleable. From napkins to origami, it's all around.  Make a photo of something made of paper."  This shot is a stack of camera & lens boxes.  Not one of my best, but I ran out of patience.

I wanted to experiment with depth of field using the 50mm f1.8 and a flashlight technique used by a fellow 365er at "Annoyingly Boring?".   I've got a way to go to master the lighting and DoF technique like PG has.

Film vs. Digital

2/12/10 - Day 56

The Daily Shoot assignment today was to make a photo that goes with the title of a book you've read.  Since the only book I've read lately is Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac, I thought an "anti-shot" with my old film camera would be interesting.
