366
Starting Dec. 16, 2011, I issued a challenge to myself to take and post a photo a day. Beyond that, there are no rules. It can be something I shot for my work at the paper or a client, or it may be a personal photo. But for 366 days - 2012 is a leap year, y'all - I will pick up a camera and take a shot and share it.

Dec. 22, 2011 - I also solemnly swear that all the shots this month won't involve Christmas lights, though it is the season. The reason for this shot was trying a technique for hand holding the camera at low shutter speeds that I read on Joe McNally's blog. He, like me, was used to holding tight and shooting in burst mode with the expectation of getting some sharp shots among blurs. The suggestion his wife gave him was using mirror lockup mode so that the flip of the mirror did not contribute to camera shake. It seems to have worked out well on this shot, and that is part of the intention of this project: learn new things. (7/366)
