GButterfly's photostream  

today I was gifted with a few hours off in the middle of my Wednesday - which is usually a 12 hour day. I was able to go out and enjoy a run through the park on an amazingly beautiful day and snap a few photos. It was fantastic and I returned to the office refreshed. It makes me think I should consider working split shifts more often

Re-thinking 365. Tonight I am seriously contemplating giving up on the 365+1 project this year. There have been several times when I just haven't felt like dealing with it - or even if I did try to come up with a shot - there was little I liked about it. During the week I seldom get off work before dark and I'm tired its just not conducive to the kind of photography I like to do which is making use of natural light. The dogs are a nice subject but they aren't like kids - there is a limit to the ways I can pose them. I don't really think I'm getting what I wanted out of this project - the little 365 cafe has made me realize just in the short time since I've joined that most of my 365 shots are not worth the time it takes me to edit them.
While i have a lot to learn from the constructive criticism - like being in a class - I am finding a lot of my shots (except the weekend shots) are not my best work. Also I've realized how much I have to learn it is a bit overwhelming as I though I'd come further than I have.

I'm considering re-thinking the project and editing one photo a day to work on my editing skills even if it was taken a while back. I think the 365 project may be better suited to studio photographers? or people with more flexible work hours. I'm still undecided we'll see how the rest of February goes.

not today's shot just uploading while I'm looking for today's picture - not a bit of editing as you can see by the evidence of lens dust. boo for lens dust

my pups are my go to shot when nothing else works out. I made some failed experiments with self portraits and with multiple exposures - none of that worked out but my darling husky obliged

I'm not really looking for criticism on this one -just cramming in a shot before midnight.
