Daily Photos, 2009 : I loved doing daily photos so much during 2008 that I just HAD to continue.  It's great fun and does so much for the improvement of my photography.

I'm not going to kill myself to get this perfect this year.  There will be days that I just don't get anything and I'll be forced to upload an older photo or something along those lines.  But I'm still going to be constantly improving myself and working at my art, and I have some very fun things planned for this year for me and my camera.  :-)

I'll be doing something a little extra this year as well.  Every day, I see so many amazing photos that very few people are noticing -- photos that are BEAUTIFUL and should be a little in the spotlight as well.  So, every day, in addition to uploading an image of my own, I will also be posting a link to a photo I have found particularly inspiring in some way.  You'll see a lot from the same artists, a few will be already somewhat popular, some might even be in the Dailies already, but most will be photos that I feel are very undervalued at the moment and should be seen by all!  :-)

NOTE:  Unless otherwise noted -- and there will be times now and then -- my photos are not post-processed beyond the occasional MINOR change in color saturation or some such simple, unobtrusive thing.  With me, what you see is pretty much what you get.  Even slight changes I reserve for merely amplifying and augmenting what is already there, I do not use photoshop to "fix" a photo -- I believe in polishing my photography first and foremost, so that is what I focus on.  On occasion, I might play with a shot a little more than usual, mostly to learn a little bit more about how to do it -- a new challenge to tackle, if you will.  :-)

So, unless I specify something I have done with a photo to make it different from what it started to be, you can assume that that is the way I took it.

HDR : I have recently fallen completely in love with HDR -- normally I'm not one for post-processing AT ALL; this is my ONE little thing that I think is fabulous.  I still take basic photos, I'm not going to let this take over my photos because I still like "normal" photography and I still intend to keep that as my primary focus and continue to better myself as a photographer.  But this is just so much fun and I can't help but enjoy it as an added bonus.  Enjoy!
