February’s prompts

and my images. A few days missing but oh well, onwards…

I’m slowly moving all my photography posts from here to my photography blog so from March, all my photo a day posts will appear there. I hope to see you there 🙂

I’ve gone back to uni! Admittedly I’m only doing one unit but it’s a start.

The unit I’m doing is Photography & Social Media. I’ve started a new blog so I can journal my progress of that (& any photo challenges I decide to take part in). If you’re interested in checking out my work pop on over to Nightwolf Designs

I’ve finally decided to get some of my photos online for everyone to see. You can check out my photos over on Flickron Flickr. It will mainly be sunsets, lunar, flowers, animals and buildings.

Here’s some of what you’ll find…

    

Hubby & I bought ourselves our first DSLR as an early Christmas present and in the last couple of months I’ve become a bit obsessed with sunsets and moon photography. I’m yet to see and photograph an aurora but it’s on the wish list 😉

Anywho, hubby rang me on his way home tonight & said go out and look at the moon. I did and this is what I saw. No editing, just straight off the camera

 

then I turned around to see this. Again no editing.

 

I hate having my photo taken. I’m nearly always the one behind the camera. And then a post by Tina really struck a chord with me and then a few days later she started the #tgdmselfieaday idea. Posting a selfie everyday in August.

I’ll let Tina explain it herself….

“I started a little hashtag
called #tgdmselfieaday
I thought I would be on my own
But my interweb friends came to play.
It all began with Mrs Woog
who wanted to know why women were bitches
And then this post on TGDM
because my fingers got the twitches.

In no time at all
and with no delays
we now have over 200 selfies
taken over the August days.

Seeing the faces of interweb friends
is one I think is fun
And if I’ve helped someone pop their selfie cherry
my job here is done.”

I managed to do a selfie every day in August except for 2, which I thought was pretty good actually. Think I’m inspired to do them more often. Thanks Tina, you’ve created a selfie monster LOL

One of the things on my 100 things list was to do Fat Mum Slim’s photo-a-day challenge everyday in 2013. So far so good. Past attempts at Project 365 and similar have been sporadic or I’ve done a couple of months then given up. This year I’ve managed to keep up, even if I’ve had to play catch up on a couple of weeks here & there. I seem to be more motivated this year and having the prompts seems to help. AND having the monthly prompt as my lock screen on my iPhone helps for sure cause it’s there every time I unlock my phone.

So here’s my 7 months of photos….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can see my larger images on ShutterCal.

In case you’re wondering, I use Project 365 Pro to create the calendar of shots. I also upload all my photos to ShutterCal and I have the option to get my images printed at the end of the year in 12 mini books (or postcards of any of my images at the ShutterCal store). They also have a handy iPhone app but I’ve found a minor problem with it (& the website) is you’re uploading photos the day after – well if your in Australia anyways.

Looking forward to the last half of the year. Bring on August!!
