Humpty, a photo by Gary S._ on Flickr.

Day 4 of my 365. Was a beutiful day, actualy shot more today but this is the one for today.

P&S high ISO in pitch black

 Was from my shots on walk in the dark alley`s tonight. Thought of using this as my 365 pic but it`s something I`ve done to death, running hi ISO`s. so went with the built in flash. I`m impressed on the next shot, that it focused very well!

Not an impressive photo, I agree, however part of a 365 project is stepping out of your comfort zone.

  I struggled with using a better photo; that although was better (using the techniques I already have a handle on), I used features of the camera I don`t like much... flash. Not just flash, but in a place were I was still trying to control exposure and focus and I could not see what I`m doing.... was using a P&S !

Day 2 of my 365 Project. Yay I made it 2 days! lol.

 Originally saw much better shot but by the time I got a camera it was way too late, so I hunted this pic down.

Also tried to get a shot of some nesting pigeons that hang out at work.... but my the time I zoomed in...I got WAY more details than you want in a photo....crappy.....

First Flickr Photo

100_1977, a photo by Gary S._ on Flickr.

 This is the first photo on my FLICKR profile, I`m not sure if it was the first one I EVER posted to Flickr however, and I was also on PhotoBucket before I discovered Flickr. The taken on date is Sept 11 2007.


  This is from my first "real" digital P&S camera. (I had a cheap $75 digital camera that had NO display on it and you could only point it and shoot and hope you got something, )
I`m not saying it`s the best but was just discovering that I could control a LOT of what the camera was doing, and getting better photo`s than the camera...I was hooked by the time this photograph was taken! lol.


  The camera used was a Kodak Easyshare C643. I miss this camera for a carry around (I always carry at least one camera with me.) I put that camera thru hell. Did things to it that there is no WAY I would even THINK of doing to my DLSR!   In the end, after  babying the lens motor (I jammed the lens mechanism with sand! then took it apart and kinda "fixed" it....)  for over a year! I crushed the display screen by accident, and without that on ANY digital camera, your camera becomes just a cheap P&S and pray! Yer screwed...

This is my FIRST picture of 2012, and I`ve decided I`m going to do a project 365. This means I will have to take a different photo of something different each day.

I can take more than one photo each day but only one is allowed from a day, meaning I have to go out each day and think.
