Big day today. I got Flickr all set up for my 2010/365 photo project where I will be posting a photo each day all year long. I added a link in the sidebar which will always bring you to the set of photos.
Creating that Flickr set gives me the flexibility to talk about more of what I'm doing and learning here without feeling like I'm screwing up the 365. I'll still be doing lots of projects in this space, too.
Lucy and I went for a late afternoon snow walk. I always get so frustrated shooting in low light situations. My 400+ ISO settings make for photos that are grainy as hell. I played with my settings trying to get the exposure right and came up with these:
A Streetlight
I didn't play with the white balance settings pre- or post- obviously... but I kind of like the blue tones in contrast to the golden light. This was handheld at 1/10 and clearly would be improved by using my tripod- but I was on a snow walk with my 5 year old.
I like the sparkle in this one, and the active snow falling. The background is ugly and there's no redeeming interest or color to set it off. It was taken under an outdoor spotlight and I worked on the white balance in post.
