YAYYYY!!! I’M DONE!!!
After lunch today, I went into my Norwegian Dawn stateroom and thought, “What is today’s photo prompt?” Then I SMILED as I realized I no longer have photo prompts to guide my days. What a relief!
Oh, yes! I have learned so much and am so very very happy I attempted and completed this challenge.
I am equally happy that it’s now over.
What have I learned?
So much!
- I’ve learned that I’m better at taking photos of smaller focused items rather than big sweeping views.
- I’ve learned that using depth of field can sometimes add to a photo and other times acts more like a crutch or distraction.
- I’ve learned how much texture and interest can be added to a photo when using Black & White rather than Color.
- I’ve learned how difficult capturing moving subjects – children, animals – can be in comparison to stationary objects.
- I’ve learned that photos without captions can often tell a full story.
- I’ve learned that writing about a photo can, at times, build upon a story.
- I’ve learned what lenses lend themselves to better or more creative images.
- I’ve learned how to use my camera in a variety of settings.
- I’ve learned that I LOVE photography.
- I’ve learned that even though my skills have improved, I have so much more to learn!!!
What’s next?
After I return home, I think I’ll pick a monthly theme. Each month, I’ll post based on that theme. It may be one photo. It may be many. Who knows?
Flexibility and balance. That’s what I’m excited for in 2025!
