The First Miss

I have been doing slightly better with the A Photo A Day / 365 in 2010 project than I expected I would, at least in terms of remembering to take photos every day.

I have not worked as much on not being so self-conscious about taking photos of people and other things in public, which is one of my goals for the year. I have been playing with other things — composition and settings — with well, some lame and some okay results.

I have missed one day so far (and a lot of slack days, ‘oh crap it’s 22:30, better take a picture of something’), 20 February.

claw

The day I missed taking a photo — I did take a few pictures of Claw on the deck with my phone, so I counted that. (51/365)

I hope to get out to Marymoor soon to take some sports shots and to look for a tree I photographed with my first digital camera back in April 2002.

I really need to clean my lens and filter and sensor.
