About Project 365

Thanks for stopping by my blog! This is Year 2 of my Project365 blog. What is a Project 365? It's a photo challenge involving people from all over the world posting one photo per day throughout 2011. Some photographers choose themes, however for now my photos will be totally random. I will be shooting with my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi-18-55mm, 75-300mm zoom and 100mm 2.8 macro lenses. I edit in iPhoto and Photoshop Elements 9. Not all photos are "perfect"; the purpose is to make photography an everyday event.

I am not a professional. Photography has always been a diversion of mine. I am a primary grade teacher and passionate tech. enthusiast. I consider myself an experienced amateur with LOTS to learn!


You will find links to other photographers in the sidebar- do check them out! I have also joined the Flickr EdTech 365/2011 Group, and you can click this link to view the entire pool. I will be posting my photos to their group pool, as well as here on my photo blog. I welcome your constructive criticism!

Guidelines

1. Photos are to be taken in 2011.
2. Post your own work only.
3. Images may be edited or unedited- your choice.
4. Keep your images, text, and comments appropriate for all ages.
5. HAVE FUN!

My daughter loves Converse sneakers, and just got an awesome deal on these dark gray ones. Processed this with PSE9 via the "Cutout" effect. Looks almost like a painting!

Found this lighted outlet at the hospital today. Not sure why it says, "Emergency". If you use it, does it have more power or something???

When I was a kid, we used to call these "choke cherries", but I'm not sure if that's the true name. Any ideas? The birds seem to love 'em!

I looked to the sky one night last week and noticed it was alive with pinks, purples and oranges. I only wish there hadn't been all those trees in the way!
