One (ok, maybe two) shot(s) every day. My first year of dailies has been amazing, albeit with some twists and turns. I started on a random day in March. I finished off at Dec. 31 just to make life easier. In this year shot my first wedding, my first set of senior portaits, dozens of bike races, several new buildings. I upgraded to full-frame with the D700, got laid off only to find another job within a week. And last but not least, baby Ashley came along in late november. The majority of the shots from November therefore are daily baby photos.
I did my best to shoot something interesting, and to share the how’s and why’s. Photoshop and Lightroom are awesome and my main tools for post processing.
Thanks for looking; thanks for all the comments.
2009 12-22 I managed to get some real smiles today. These seem to be coming more and more frequently. She's beginning to copy facial expressions, and this is the one she most often sees looking back at her.
I softened everything, and played with the levels of the clothes. I debated SC, but it didn't look right. I needed the subject of the photo to be that darling smile, and SC took away from that.
