To all ye who want to paint with light ...

I should have started this blog many moons ago as I started experiencing the joys of rediscovering the art of photography. But as the saying goes - it's better late, than never!
So, here I am, in the hopes of recording what I learn as I progress from ignorance to enlightenment; about what my eyes can see that my camera can capture; and, what my mind imagines and my camera paints with its capabilities.

Please feel free to add any comments and share your wisdom (tips or tricks) that you have picked up along the way.

Day 350 - YESSSS!

15 more posts to go and I'm done my 365 project!  Wow, I can't believe I'm almost there.  I'm just forging ahead despite the eye infection that's been giving me grief for the past 3 days now.

I willed myself to step out on the balcony and take a couple of shots.  Since my eyes are really sensitive to light right now, I've been wearing my sunglasses all the time and that obviously threw the exposure off a little bit.  I shot with the aid of the histogram, but didn't like the exposure later, so I just changed it to B&W.  I can't sit in front of the computer for too long since it's hurting my eyes quite a bit, therefore, did the fastest ever post-processing I've ever done before. I'm throwing nothing away!
