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.

Dim Ideas...

I'm finding that I'm not having as many ideas as I thought I would since my illness. Maybe I'll manage to figure out some more, but I'll see what happens.

Rice...Washing

A staple of our family (Japanese-Caucasian). We seem to eat rice quite a considerable bit.

$111,944.00

The money I would have spent pumping 5,000 frames through my D50 if I had had to pump the same number of frames through a 35mm film camera.

And I still would have been at Stage 1 in my photography skill level. Sort of makes me wonder what would have happened if the digital photography revolution hadn't occured.

Rainy Day Thru the Window

This is a shot of the rain on the window of our front screen door. Seems to rain quite a bit up here. Might be advisable for me to get a rainproof bag for my D300s.

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.
