Sewing
As of yesterday I did manage 365 posts for this blog. I started it on January 5, 2009. The photo was taken in February of 2008, about 10 days after I had just purchased a DSLR camera and was learning to use it in manual mode. I set up the pincushion and the buttons on my dining room table for practice. I experimented using the camera in aperture priority mode and in shutter priority mode, and then in manual mode. I was just starting to get it. I don’t think I have taken a photo in anything but manual mode since. There doesn’t seem to be a point in having a camera like mine if it is only to be used just like I used my point and shoot.
I love photography and when I look at this photo I am reminded of how hard it was for me to figure out that dang camera and that the time and effort I put into it was worth it. I am always learning and there is always more to learn. It is work but not really because I enjoy it so much and even just holding the camera seems to relax me like nothing else can. Sometimes I even dream in still shots. In color of course. I am looking forward to my next 364 posts.

How colorful! I am only at first steps to manual mode and feel so like you did in 2008. Look forward to you next 364 posts too!
