Picture a day – Week of 01-15-12

January 21, 2012 by Alan R Leave a Comment

Here are the pictures from the previous week (Saturday, 01-14-2012 through Friday, 01-20-2012) for my Picture a day. This week I concentrated on long exposures.  I really like the effect it creates and I realize that I NEED a tripod to do much more of this kind of stuff (like star trails and such).

My main goal with this is to become a better photographer through practice and feedback. Let me know how I am doing. If you like these images, please share them (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pintrest…)

If you missed the previous week’s Picture a day, check them out (you can also find them on Flickr and Google+) [Read more…]

Picture a day – Week of 01-08-12

January 14, 2012 by Alan R Leave a Comment

Here are the pictures from the previous week (Saturday, 01-07-2012 through Friday, 01-13-2012) for my Picture a day.  This week has been more difficult to make sure I am taking at least one picture every day and spending time on photography.  A few days this past week it was almost midnight before I took my first picture

I will be scheduling next week to ensure I can get into the habit of practicing for a specific length of time.  At night I do read photography books to learn more, but the best way to get better is by doing.  My main goal with this is to become a better photographer through practice and feedback.  Let me know how I am doing.  If you like these images, please share them (Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Pintrest…)

Picture a day – Week of Dec 18, 2011

December 24, 2011 by Alan R 4 Comments

Several years ago, I heard photographers were taking a picture a day, every day, for a year.  They would post these pictures on a blog or picture sharing site in an effort to get feedback, share their craft with the world, and take better pictures.  I have decided to do such a thing and will be posting my pictures for the week on Saturdays.  The pictures will also be on Flikr.  Please take the time to help me improve by giving me your feedback and comments.

So, without further ado, here they are:
