Some days, you just can’t get out and take some shots… But that doesn’t mean I won’t post or post a few minutes after midnight. 😀
I would be remiss if, as part of this 365 project, I didn’t include shots I’ve taken before.
One of the mistakes I’ve made is not reviewing pictures I’ve previously captured. Part of it was because I spent the better part of a year taking pictures for a theater group and it overwhelmed me.
I learned a lot but I also didn’t do any of my own projects and subsequently lost the desire to take pics. I never processed anything I took.
I was writing more and also started shooting video. But the stills stopped.
So, at its core, the point of this project is to find out what kind of photographer I am. I can no longer ignore what I’ve done and left unfinished.
It is, as Floyd Wickman would say, time to complete my circles.
Which means:
- Taking new pics
- Reviewing my old pics
- Taking courses
- Taking more pics
- Improving my current skillset
- Developing new skills
- Improving my photographic artistry
- Getting better at post-production
- Staying on track with this project
So, here’s an old one.
This is one of Bannerman Castle in Beacon, NY.
I took this in 2020 with the 70d and a $13,000, 800mm lens I borrowed from Canon. I was about a mile or two away.
It’s hard not to love a lens like that.
I used that same kit on its one:
On the subject of borrowed lenses from Canon, I’ve got a fisheye lens coming on Monday. I have been waiting to use one of these lenses since I was in single digits, my brother got an AE-1, and I saw the opening to Hawaii Five O. It’s going be fun!
