Happy Friday! Today's Photo Friday is the start of a something new.
I told you on Monday how I felt like I was in a rut, not happy with how my images were turning out. The problem was I didn't know why I didn't like them, I just knew that I didn't. One day I saw a photographer that I follow post something about a 365 day challenge. What caught my eye was the tagline "get out of your photography rut", so I clicked on the link to find out more
A 365 day challenge is pretty simple, you take a photo everyday. Take just one photo a day, sure I can do that, so I started January 1st.
I decided that my Photo Fridays needed a little re-vamping, so now they will be dedicated to my 365 challenge. Every friday you will get to see that weeks photos. You will get to see photos from our day to day lives, sometimes exciting things sometimes mundane. You may be asking why would I post boring photos that you might not care anything about? I'm hoping that knowing that I will actually have to show my photos to other people is going to push me to get more creative, try harder, and think out of the box. I don't ever want to get to the point that I stop pushing myself to get better. Now Photo Friday's are going to hold me accountable.
With out further ado this week's photos:
One thing that I have really enjoyed about this challenge already is trying to capture candid moments. One of the tips I read about doing this challenge is having your camera out and ready, so there is no looking for it or trying to adjust all the settings. When something happens my camera is somewhere that I can reach out and grab it in a hurry. When I took the photo above both girls where looking at the birds outside, right before I snapped this one Jo stepped right in front of me. My initial reaction was ugh, but the more I look at this one the more I like it.
