2025 - looking back at a year (part II)
I started this retrospective look at my photography of 2025 in my last blogpost where I covered the first half of the year, so it made perfect sense to cover the second half in this post (as if I didn’t plan it that way in the first place…). :-) The second half of the year was actually less photography filled than the first half, mostly due to illness in the family that kept interfering. Fortunately that is not as much of an issue now, so hopefully 2026 will end up being MUCH better, both healthwise as well as when it comes to photography!
2025 - looking back at a year
So far photography for me in the year 2026 has been very slow. The low winter sun seems to be gone before I am able to get out there to capture stuff in it, so I am biding my time until the daylight hours last a little bit longer. In the meantime I think I can benefit from going back and think about some of the images I took during 2025. Often I tend to just transfer my photos from the camera to the hard drive, select and edit my keepers and then it is onto whatever is next to photograph, so a bit of a reflection on what is in my saved folders can’t hurt!
The 365 Project Mark VI - Month Four
One third of the year is done and it feels we are still in the same holding pattern we’ve been in since March of 2020, waiting for the light in the tunnel. Thankfully the weather is getting better, the days are getting longer, there’s more green and other colors out there and allergies are kicking in (that last bit isn’t positive, but at least it’s an indication that spring is here…this year I’ll take that as an almost good thing!). Also, vaccines are being administered to more and more people…which is the most important thing!
Sakura photos with issues...a lot of issues!
One of the frustrating things with analog photography (and actually one of the redeeming qualities too when it works) is that you can't check the back of the screen to see if your exposure is spot on. I find that a good thing often because that makes me focus on the picture taking and being careful with the exposure to begin with, because I can't check it after each image.
