January Wrap-up

Well January is up so it's time to review my goals for the month. This month I wanted to get to know my flash a bit {a lot} better. And I did. I still think I have a long ways to go, but I think these two pictures show progress.

Yeah!
Next month I plan on working more on my flash, but I will also be joining a group called 28 Things I Love...in February (Not 28 things I love ABOUT February) I'm pretty sure there aren't that many things I like about February. :) Anyway, I'm excited to have a theme to keep me going. I really appreciate all the comments received. You give me great motivation to continue.

Welcome to my 365...err probably my 296 pictures in 2010 Blog

Sierra--test



It's 2010 and 365 Blogs are all the rage in the photography world. I've decided to join their ranks. Though, I am giving myself some leeway. If this ends up to only be 296 Blog...I'm ok with that.

My goals and purpose of this blog are different than my personal blog. I will continue to update my thoughts, rants, family doings along with pictures on my other one. This blog will be dedicated to improving all aspects of my photography skills.

My goal is to take at least 1 picture every day of the year. I may or may not get them posted on the same day but the goal is for daily picture taking and daily improvement.

This month I hope to learn how to better use my flash. The first picture I have posted is one of the first after receiving my 430EXII Speedlite just a couple days ago. It will be a good gauge of my progress.

I welcome comments and constructive advice. As stated before I only want to get better and that's difficult without feedback.

So with that, Let the Games Begin!
