Here is the November 30 post in
November's Pic of the Day album. I have finished the challenge and posted an image each day except for one in the album you'll find
here. It was harder than I thought, not because I don't shoot every day...I do. Taking a picture and choosing a picture that I thought was good enough for the album was a challenge...and sometimes I was in a rush to do so...so I posted and then ended up taking better pictures, more interesting pictures later in the day. And so it went.
Composing this picture, I decided to have the more interesting things in the lower corner of the shot, leaving negative space up top as a contrast. The yellow lily in the background made for a brilliant backdrop. I was using my 60 mm macro lens with an aperture of f/2.8 so the lily was only colour, instead of detail that would distract.
My shutter speed was 2.5 seconds so you'll guess correctly that I used my tripod for this shot. My ISO was 100.
Well, I cannot view the album -- Facebook says it's unavailable (and I am signed in). But, it sounds like a fun project! I post mostly on Flickr, and I admit to being in the same struggle. Do I post photos that I took just for fun? Should I include shots that were the best I could do under the circumstances (especially when it's wildlife)? Or, should I follow the advice given me by a local professional photographer -- post only my best? Since I don't make a living through photography, I've opted for the variety.
ReplyDeleteCan't see your album, but I've enjoyed what you've posted here!
Oh, too bad about not being able to see the album. I changed the links. Hopefully they'll work now.
