day 59: Ben and I headed down to Manhattan Beach after work to take in the last of the gorgeous weather today. While shooting I got an opportunity to try out one of the tricks I've been trying to master: the fill flash. What do you do when you want to capture a great sunset without blowing out the sky, while still exposing the subject? Fill flash. Am I good at it? No. But I'm learning. Aside from the shadow on my arm I think this was a good effort. Especially considering it was using the wimpy pop-up flash on my camera. Practice practice...
To be perfectly honest, I didn't come up with this idea. I read it on a fantastic website called photojojo. Although I guess that doesn't really answer the whole question.
I've always loved photos, loved taking photos, and loved looking at them as well. I always take photos on vacation but I haven't always taken as many "daily life" photos as I would like. My hope is that in the process of taking 365 consecutive photos I'll learn something new about photography, my camera, and myself.
It's a big endeavor so wish me luck, and feel free to leave me a comment if you love (or hate) any particular photo. I'm always up for a little feedback.
Enjoy!
