A 2011 Challenge

Last year, a bunch of my friends the blogs I follow challenged themselves by taking a picture everyday in 2010. I'm not sure where the "resolution" came from, but I enjoyed looking at their life through their camera lens. And have decided to try it myself this year. I think it'll be a good way to get more familiar with my DSLR camera (which I currently use as if it's a "Point-and-Shoot") and will hopefully help me get back to blogging without the pressure of having to write more than a sentence or two. I can't promise that the pictures will be POSTED every day, but they will be TAKEN each day.

UPDATE: (October 2011) My laptop died back in March. It took a looooooong time to get it back. I'm working on uploading pictures I took while I was computer-less. But I'll be honest...there definitely wasn't 1 picture a day. Maybe next year...

1/26/11 - Aperture 101

I've decided that I've gotten used to using my camera and now I need to start learning how to take the picture I want.  I took Photography in college, but somehow, I can't remember anything.  So I decided to start with the basics: Aperture! I read up on the Pioneer Woman's blog all about aperture and started playing around.  The problem is, by the time I was done reading and fiddling, the sun was going down and yes, it was snowing again.  So I set up a really boring shot...sorry...

This is the shot that things really started to "click" (pardon the pun).
