Today marks the beginning of my second Project 365- only this time it’s a Project 365 plus 1, since it’s a leap year. My photo of the day is a paper white bulb just planted today, using the theme of in with the new.
So, here are my top photography goals for 2012:
- continue to develop my camera and editing skills
- master my speedlight
- improve landscape photography- especially in taking advantage of best light
- do more with the photographs I take- print, frame, make books etc.
- take more photographs of people
I think the fifth goal is my most important. I got my camera in order to take better photos of my grandchildren. I had an AHA moment recently when I realized that I see my sweet boys only a few times a year and that I don’t practice with people in between. I practice on THEM, my grandsons. I need to photograph people consistently to develop my skills. Having an external flash now will encourage me to get out there and shoot my friends, so to speak!

Nice opening shot and you got bokeh, too! Effective depth of field. I forgot it’s a leap year. I guess I need to edit my blog.;-)
My photography goals are similar to yours. I need to get the editing down. I will continue my 365 journey again. Good luck to you and Happy New Year!
What a great surprise to see you are continuing with your photo a day project! I appreciate reading your past summary and 2012 goals. You continue to inspire me!
