Look at me, being all prompt. I didn't take too many photos today, and I'm not especially enthused about these, but... here they are. 

The first is my favorite of the day: the home screen on my new cell phone. I actually only took that photo to see if the image would photograph well, and it turned out all right, much to my surprise.

This one is the posts on my deck. I had zoomed in to take a different picture and forgot to zoom back out for this one, which I think kind of takes away from it. Still cool though.

The last photo of the day was almost my favorite. To take it I had to lay down on my back and aim the camera up toward the sky - it's a ladder (also on my deck). Not the greatest photo, but I like interesting angles.

Maybe I'll actually be committed and update this every day! That'd be nice. Cross your fingers.

Super-Long Practice Shots Post

Here are the practice shots I've taken so far. I'm sorry they're only one to a line, but I can't figure out how to make it any different. If any of you know, please leave a comment telling me!

UPDATE 5 MARCH 2011: I ran out of storage so I had to delete my practice shots... if anyone knows of a way around this, please let me know!

Introduction

Hello, all. I’m Emily, a Nerdfighter. I was searching the web a few weeks ago, trying to find ideas for photography projects, when I came across 365project.org. I made an early new year’s resolution, right then and there, that I would complete the project in 2011.

For those who don’t know: the 365 Project entails taking at least one picture EVERY SINGLE DAY and uploading it to the website. Having to constantly be on the lookout for a good shot means you become a better photographer as the year progresses. I look forward to seeing how my own skills will have improved by this time next year!

On and off this month, I’ve been practicing and have taken a plethora of “training” photos. Those are the first things you’ll find here, and as the new year begins you’ll see the photos each day that didn’t quite make the cut for FAVORITE status but that I still think are worth sharing. If you want to, please leave me a comment telling me what you think and how I can improve – I’m always eager to learn more about photography!
