Photography: #100DayProject—Almost There

As you may remember, I’m doing photography for the #100DayProject. This means, every single day for 100 days I’m out taking photos, editing them, and sharing them with my friends. In addition, I’ve started doing photography sessions for people I know. I’ve done three senior sessions, a family shoot, and several portraits.

I’m loving this! It feels like I’m understanding my camera more and more. I’m still battling with computer storage and editing, but those are getting easier too. I’m having fun experimenting with different lenses, playing around with color, and dabbling in street photography. I still have an editing class to take, but each session I’m learning something new. The project ends June 2, which means there’s still lots of images to take and skills to learn.

Here’s a ton of my best photos from the last few weeks. Let me know if you have a favorite (and I totally understand if viewing 40 photos is a bit much!) These appear in order of photos taken, not favorites. I thought you might like to see how each grouping was edited differently. Among these was my first photograph of lightening, some crazy macro bug shots from my yard, and some really cute animals.

Oh, and if you were curious if the egret’s had their babies…I think so? I was able to capture what looks like heron babies being fed in the nest (#33), but they are pretty large. A quick google search says they grow super fast, so maybe?

One more thing, at the last minute I added some photos I took yesterday (the ones I mentioned to you, Michael!)

Thanks!

  3. This is such a joyful and committed journey—you can really feel your growth and excitement coming through. Taking on a daily practice like this isn’t easy, but it’s clearly sharpening both your eye and your confidence.

    • I’m so glad you see the growth in these images. It’s been an exhausting, but rewarding journey. Right now it feels almost like too much, as I’m falling behind in editing some big sessions I’ve done recently, but I’m not giving up.

  7. Gonna be a long one: I like the header shot and #’s 1, 8, 14 in the first ‘bunch’. #3 for its capture of an odd position. And #15! Did you blush? All/most of the photos to this point had a flat contrast, which I assume is intentional. I’m more of a high contrast kind of guy. Then it’s 22, 23 (so crisp!), 24, 28. And nice to see the Girls Rock shots. I kinda like my cats to have fur, but #29 has such a supreme CAT expression, doesn’t it?
