Taking a Look Back | August 2020
From time to time, I like to take a look back at my photography. It helps me see growth and also areas that need improvement. Recently, I did a screening of my work looking for the best of the best technically. That prompted sharing this blog post. Enjoy!
Taking a Look Back to August 2020
Daily shooting in August 2020 offered time to explore so many different genres in photography. When I first picked up a camera several years ago, I shot daily in order to learn as much as I could. After a few years, I gave up the formal 365 project. Over time, I realized I was picking up my camera for my own enjoyment less and less. When business shoots seemed to take over, there was less time for my personal shooting. It felt good last January to pick up the practice of shooting everyday just-for-me once again.
Shooting at Home
Then Covid-19 struck and sheltering at home became a reality which meant that my travel plans for the year came to a halt. Cancelled. As a nature/landscape photographer, I was very disappointed. At first I thought I'd just let the project go because how would I ever be able to find things here at home every single day? But, new opportunities presented themselves in the form of learning new things. Fun and engaging things. So the project continues. And, gratefully, I have found safe ways to venture out a bit and shoot safely farther away from home.
Multiple Genres
Daily shooting in August included birds, flowers, still life, food, macro, astro, and a little work with abstract photography. Here is what August 2020 looked like for me each day while I photographed in my backyard as well as farther away from home.
