three sixty five. doing it my way.
Week 13 was rather an interesting week for me. I started experimenting more in Lightroom… both with adjusting settings on my own, and with some new presets (which are unfortunately completely addicting) and I started really liking the pictures I was producing. At the same, the pictures that I was loving weren’t doing so well on flickr and it was rather disheartening. But then I remembered that I’m doing this project for me, to better my photography skills and change the way I look at things. And that’s the mindset I want to carry into month four… posting pictures of things that *I* like, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
Easier said than done though. I tend to worry too much about other peoples’ opinions. But I digress…
day eighty five – happy fence friday, new fence edition. This is a new fence that my work installed this week, and my first thought when I saw it was “oooh Fence Friday”. Project 365 has brainwashed me. Anyway, played around with the tones in lightroom, added a little cross processing preset..
day eighty six - green and gold. A flower I found growing in a field when I went to the park. I really liked the colors, especially in the background.
day eighty seven - baylor proud. My ticket from the Baylor-Duke game, and the ribbons I wore in my hair. Even though Baylor lost, I’m still proud of them… and still glad I got to go to the game. (The rounded corners are a result of the Lightroom preset I used… I like the tones that the preset gave the picture but I’m not sure how I feel about the rounded corners. I think I kind of like it. Maybe.)
day eighty eight - when bokeh takes over the world. Got stuck for about 15 minutes on my way to work, thanks to an accident we were not moving at all. I’ve always liked the way the trees looked along this road, especially with the sun peeking through so, since I had nothing else to do, I took a few shots. The focus was set to manual from the day before and I didn’t realize it – so this shot was an accident. But I like it.
day eighty nine – caution. This caution tape was all in front of my work building for no apparent reason and I couldn’t resist snapping a few shots as I left for the day. I had fun processing it and I really like the colors that came out.
day ninety – ladybug, ladybug, fly away home. I was originally taking some pictures of some flowers when a ladybug caught my eye. Not this ladybug, the first one I saw was too fast for me. But this little one was just hiding out in the tree, staying extra still – just for me. :p
day ninety one – breathe in, breathe out… These blossoms are covering a bush right outside our house and, since nothing else inspired me today, I decided to take a picture of them. Not very exciting but I did have fun playing with it in Lightroom, to get the background colors to appear the way they did.
And that wraps up three whole months. I have completed 25% of the project. I feel like I’ve accomplished so much… and that I still have such a long, long way to go!
