Day 12

This is Frodo! He's my little Hobbit cat since he has hair on his toes! :) Really, I had him named before I met him. My husband is a big LOTR fan. Since I came up with one of those names, I'm pretty sure that helped cinch the deal! 
I also added my photos to kara's 365 flickr group. Add yours too!

Day 12
Settings: 
ISO 400, f/2.8, ss 1/25, 50 mm, no flash


Okay, I'm not gonna lie, this was hard to do! I couldn't get the lighting right. The ISO on 100-400 still came out too dark for my taste. My room was a little dark, but natural light was still present. So I added a light texture to this and lightened it a bit. Love it now, but so frustrating to do on it's own. Any thoughts?

My Flickr Group - Kara's 365

Feel free to upload your 365 photos to my group! Then we wouldn't have to bounce around from blog to blog hoping to not forget someone that nicely complimented us. Or better yet, you can't find them because their link is hidden! :)

My group is called kara's 365 on Flickr. So, upload away, and we can comment on all! This doesn't have to take away from the personal blogs, just an easier way to see a gallery of photos! 

Please be sure and post your settings, and I'll see you there, too! If you don't want to, I understand. I will keep looking for you and comment on your photos. I love all of them! Wow, you ladies are so talented!
Great job! Keep it up....

Day 1

Okay, I'm finally going to do it. I will take a photo every day for 365 days. Why? This has become a popular challenge across the blog world, and I've seen people grow so much in that year. What to do? 

  • Read in my manual every day, and use that knowledge to photograph something for that particular subject. 
  • Post 1 photo each day for 365 days. 
  • Look at professional images each day whether it be books or online. 
  • Be more creative! 
I must admit, I'm a little nervous. Not sure I can complete this challenge, but have every intention of doing so! 
If anyone else is on this journey, feel free to join in and give constructive criticism. I am a bit shy to throw the first photo up. I don't know if I should photoshop or throw the images up there untouched..what to do what to do...
I guess I will figure it out as I go.

I will be posting each image here to organize it for my own sake, I will urge you to also start your own 365 blog to archive your photos. I've also started a Flickr group called kara's 365! That way you can add your own photos and join us all on the challenge! Invite your friends, it will be a great journey!

Happy 2011! It's been an up and down year for us, I pray that it is a wonderful year this year for all my friends and family! 


365 Day 1 
Lighting. This is the hardest for me to get right when the sun isn't shining through. 
My settings were:
ISO - 800, f/5, Shutter speed 1/60, 90 mm, No flash, tungsten light setting



My thoughts: It's still a little grainy, but that's understandable with an ISO of 800. I was more worried about the lighting, and it not being too orange having the blond haired girl with such light skin and an orange flower. So, that in itself is usually a challenge for me.
