Bliss

Bliss – that sums up my feelings at the end of this 365 project.

When I started my 365 project, my intention was to get back into taking pictures as I have gotten busy with other things in life. So I am immensely satisifed on finishing up this project.

There are a few things I was able to accomplish via this project

  • got to learn more about my 6yr old Nikon D70 – both the areas on where it shines and its limiations.
  • improved my overall composition
  • established a workflow
  • started shooting in full manual mode
  • got in touch with photography friends via my photo blog and Facebook
  • get to see other photogs work and this again helped improve my photography skills

Things I wish I had learned via this project

  • Post processing – I figured I’m not a huge fan of post processing. I would rather spend much of the time fixing my composition and exposure rather than spending time in front of the computer in post procesing work
  • flash photography – this is a big area I want to explore

I want to thank all my photo blog viewers for taking time to spend some time viewing and taking time to comment on my blog posts. Your comments are real supportive. I think comments plays a vital role in blog community. Though it could be few words, it makes a big difference at the end of the day.

It gave me the feel that I have a target audience and that’s what made me keep shooting.  So your comments are much appreciated.

Wishing you all a Blissful Happy New Year!

    Yes, that cat looks very satisfied and you must feel the same way! I hope you keep posting some throughout 2011 although I for one do feel relieved not to have to post every day. I enjoy your photos.

    It has been a great run through this year. I found your blog a little late, but I have taken a lot of inspiration from you. Although I found your blog a bit late in the year I have enjoyed it immensely. A big part of my enjoyment comes from the fact that we have such different approaches to everything.

    I think this is a perfect shot for your last post of the project. It typifies your approach. All the best for your future endeavours. And best to you and your family for the new year.

    I love this face of “bliss!” What a great way to end one year and begin another!

    I am so glad that we have been able to encourage each other in this journey. I also found your blog (through Sandra) a bit late in the year, but you have been a blessing to me!
