Day 20

Sunday Snapshot.

Hanging out with the kids today. I used on camera flash as fill light here and a large window camera left to light the scene. I like the composition of this shot but it is more or less a snapshot.

Day 21

Day 21/31 by Boaketography, on Flickr

I've been trying for a couple years (since I first picked up a DSLR) to get a decent shot of a Heron but either didn't have a long enough lens or couldn't get close enough. I got lucky today while I was out for a photo walk and got within fifty feet of this one.

Still, this is cropped from the original to improve the composition.

Heron looks good. Bet it feels good to finally get one.

An edit of a shot I took yesterday. I took about 140 so I wanted to share another from the marshes.

Haha yes.

Well, I did this as a learning experience so I though "what's the harm in working on my processing skills today?"

Doesn't mean you couldn't take a picture on Day 22 and process it same-day.

So, are you saying you don't like the image then?

TonysTouch · Jan 23, 2013

Not at all, I think it is a successful image. I just feel there is honor in sticking to the rules we set for ourselves.

Fair enough.

Day 23

I wish I was taking these things and escaping to somewhere more colourful and warm.

Trying something symmetrical & artsy, thoughts?

It looks a little tilted but I like the concept

Looks that way to me too. I tried to fix it in post and using the grid the lines were even so I must've been positioned slightly to one side and this resulted in some distortion.
