on to happier things...
Dec. 11th, 2008 11:14 amI've been really stagnent in my photography lately.....I abaonded the flickr 365 self portraits back in September or something and just havent played with the camera that much other than the obligitory Christmas card photos.
So I think I'm going to challenge myself with pretty much just using my 50mm lens in SF (I'll bring the p&s too, and probably the kit lens but leaving the 18-200mm at home). This will help with lugging it around every day (that 18-200 is heavy, esp when I'll have a pack of kid snacks and water) but it will force me to look at the details. I was completely inspired by seeing this set of one guys trip to Paris shot entirely with a 50 mm and his D40 (so yeah, he manually focused)
so any hints or tips? any requests that you'd like?
