365/143 Taking Photos

 

It’s graduation time.  You see a lot of this.

365/141–Hazy Roses

 

Another view of my pink roses on the fence.  Soft, hazy, matte edit.

These roses grow virtually neglected on my fence in the back of the yard.  I edited this with a soft hazy matte.

I suppose I must jump in and say something about the nature of this blog, just for the clarification of the 3 or so people who read it.  I have done a 365 for several years now.  This year, I changed it up by doing #projectlife365 using phone photos.  The idea was to learn how to use my iPhone that I had just gotten in December, and to learn how to use the many photo apps that were out there, and to immerse myself more in Instagram.  Well, I did that.  I feel like I have pretty much accomplished that goal, or at least enough that I don’t necessarily want it to be the focus of my 365. 

I take a lot of photos.  I currently have 1576 photos in the folder marked p365 in Lightroom.  These are all photos that I may or may not use for a 365 day.  Last year, I worked my way through all my black and white options.  For the rest of this year, I am going to tackle the 1576 photos (and the many more that I will undoubtedly add) and play with editing styles, composition, and all those other photographic terms.

I love the hazy look of film.  This will be my place to play with that.  And textures.  And creative crops.  And anything else I think of.

Since I didn’t have a dog for #unconditional_love I settled for a kitty cat that wouldn’t even look at me.
