Welcome to my FalconRose Photo 365 Challenge

I have decided to take a "photo a day" for a full year. In this challenge, I want to test my photographic and artistic skills as much as I can over the full year. And at the end of this, I want to continue this blog for as long as it is feasibly possible. Hopefully you'll enjoy coming along with me on this photographic journey. Enjoy.

My First Nikon

Photobucket

This shot is with the L11. This digital camera we bought in 2005 reawakened my desire to shoot photography. This turned into a desire to get a DSLR which culminated my D50 which i bought in 2006, and then finally in 2010 the D300s.

The image is dark because this Coolpix E2200 finally gave up the ghost in December of 2007.

Rainy Day - Macro.

There are some days that I just don't want to get out of the house. This is one of them.

Here's my watch instead. A barely acceptable macro shot with a Nikon L11 and no ringflash. Oh well...

Hey, Someone Foamed The Fountain!!!

04-01-2011_foamyfountain_rs

Someone's rather destructive method of playing a ill-timed April Fool's Day prank. This makes more work cleaning up for the Parks Staff.

Note: I have been sick with a lung infection for well-over 3 months and got smacked with a sinus infection on top of that March 2nd and have been laid up for damned near close to a month. So in that vein I am going to start over my 365 blog and choose April 1st, 2011 as my re-started date.

Been sick for the past few weeks. Hence no update.

03-14-2011_webdesigntexts_rs

Wasted a bunch of money on web-design texts. Can't figure out VBScript for the life of me. And JavaScript and CSS drive me completely loopy. Don't know why the hell I got into that back in 2006, but I guess it must have been a brain fart.

Been sick for the past week and a half and haven't had much energy to do much of anything with regards to the 365. So hopefully now that I'm feeling much better now, I'll get back into the swing of things. Start looking for regular updates starting tomorrow.

Feeling sick as a dog...

So I didn't update yesterday though I did take a pic.

Yesterday's Pic

My temp (at one point) was 100.2 (low grade fever). So I took a pic of the thermometer just to get a pic for that day.

Today's Pic:

Feed my Nikon Addiction, Seymour!!! Or is it SEE-MORE... :P

02-28-2011_nikonstuff_rs

My wife's and my Nikon gear. And more to come...down the road. Yeah...not the most artistic shot. Oh, well...feeling under the weather today. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Walked down to 88th Avenue today and shot the barn I'd been meaning to. The snow was the catalyst for doing it today.

Equipment: Nikon D300s/70-200mm f/2.8 G ED
Shutterspeed: 1/100 sec
Aperture: f/8
Focal Length: 80mm
Metering: Center Weighted Average

PP: Post processed the living bleep out of it to the point where PSE8 said "WTH...let's lose the camera data."
