Steve Gallow - A Year in Photos

With this blog I have begun a journey to improve my photography skills. My goal is to take photos everyday, and post my favorite photo from that day on this blog. So far, I have learned a lot, and try to share my experiences. Many of you have made comments on the blog, via email, or when you see me in person. I really appreciate all of them. I learn a lot from each of you. I hope that you will join me in my journey, and help me along the way. I have so much to learn.

Week 18, Day 133, September 3, 2009, "No Bills"

It's been a little while since I've done a silly photo.
As I was walking around the yard, this shot came to me.

I've been thinking about theme's, so here's your challenge blog reader. Take a photo from inside your mailbox, and post it on your blog. (Or some other online photo publishing place.) Add your link to the comments below. This should be a lot of fun. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Lessons Learned:

Lighten up on the serious photos once in a while, and have some fun with photography.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/4 sec, Aperture f/20.0, ISO 800 (oops), Focal Length 17 mm, 35 mm equivalent focal length 27mm, Lens Canon EF 17-40mm, mailbox as a tripod.

Gallow said...: Elizabeth. I thought about that after I posted the blog. I think many people have small mailboxes, and may not be able to participate. I hope you come up with a cool alternative.; September 4, 2009 at 9:24 AM
