So, I am going to start a project much like my "Design a Day" endeavour that I did not keep up with. This year, I am going to start "A Photo a Day, 365 a Year" to keep active as a photographer, to force myself to keep the creative mojo movin', and to brighten each day by doing something positive and entertaining. I am kind of cheating on this first post, being as it is the 3rd already, but I actually did shoot on the first and second; however, those shots were on film (GASP!) and I can't really post those being as they require development, time, etc. So, I am filling the first two days with unpublished works. I did take the photo for today, today, so we're off to a good start.
My downstairs neighbor gave me a Canon AE-1 that I have been slowly using. Film is a precious thing to me. It is material, costly, and un-do-able, so I am really making the most of each and every exposure. I've never shot on an SLR before... having complete manual control over all aspects of taking a photo takes much more time and thought than adjusting the EV, Metering Mode, and the other simple settings of my DSC-P8 that I have mastered in the six-and-a-half, yes, 6 1/2 years, I've been using it. I've taken over 17,000 photos with it and I adore the results of the Carl Zeiss lens it when it works (its a bit on the fritz).
Today's photo was really fun. I shot through the viewfinder of the Canon AE-1 using my DSC-P8 to capture this image. +2.0 EV @ 100 ISO. No post-work, all in-camera.
Watchout, you're going to get 362 more of these... Doin' it on the daily...
Stay snappy!
