Taken with the Nikon D90 and the Tamron 28-75mm F/2.8. Edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.
My 365 project is evolving again. My project began October 16 with a plan to just use my iPhone for all photos. While it lasted, it was a great learning tool, but I grew out of it and found that I needed to focus on the capabilities of my DSLR.
My life, needs and focus has changed again. I’ve been struggling with keeping my 365 going because it seems to be conflicting with my other objectives, specifically that of making a living. I’m trying to make photography a key part of my future income by building an iStock portfolio. So each day I try to work on the photography for my portfolio, while trying to keep in mind that I have a 365 photo due.
From here on out I plan on trying to combine these two objectives into one. Why haven’t I don’t this earlier?…the main reason is that the photos in my portfolio are for sale and I hesitate to put large version of these photos on my website.
This photo was taken at the iStock event I attended in early May. I finished the processing of it today. I feel like a major part of the photography process is the processing portion, so I may include photos from either of these two categories in my future 365.
I think it is a great plan to combine those things together.
And if you post a picture from last week, that you edited today, you actually created this picture today, so it fits the concept
The 365 project is more then taking a picture, it's learning new things.
(I should better say this to myself so I can get back on the rails)
This is a great photo. I'm finding the same thing. It just takes too much time that is left to think about the 365. Oh, and as far as posting larger images, I never post large images. I always post 72 ppi. You just don't need more if all you're doing is displaying. Anyway, good plan. And think about posting a smaller 72 ppi version for the blog.
