I found out all bout the 365 project when I wrote about Julia Wang's photography. It was really interesting, the whole concept around it is that you must take a picture every single day for the whole year and post and write about them aswell. This whole project will help you to become better in your craft and you'll be shock on how much you'll improve by the end of the year. So I thought to myself that since my brand new first DSLR camera was coming in, that I should use this project to get used to it.
For the past months of getting back into photography, I've been using only a compact point-and-shoot camera. Yup, all my work tagged with Myreikko Imagery were all taken with a point-and-shoot ^-^.
Truth is the last time I've ever worked a DSLR was back in high school during the whole semester I took up photography. So you could just imagine my reaction when I finally got my camera and already had 1 photo shoot scheduled 3/4 days after.
001/365 112910 "First day with the new camera (Nikon D7000)."
I read the manual a couple of times after we finally had the order down. I've read full reviews on this very camera before I even made a serious decision. I am honestly not disappointed. There's nothing bout this camera that I don't like except the fact that I get frustrated trying to learn it lol. Though they did advice that this baby wasn't meant for a beginner, aye I rather take my chances haha.
002/365 113010 "Mom and Bokeh."
Above was my first attempt to get a bokeh feel and a clear un-shaky portrait. That's my mama by the way lol. Overall I can safely say I did a good job hehehe just wish it wasn't so orange -.-
003/365 120110 "Spiz'ikes."
Ahhh, this day was da bomb. I met up with a fellow photographer and friend of mine to learn some basics from him. After a good talk and some sharing of quality knowledge, I went home that very night with one objective: Play with the Speedlight I bought with the camera and do an old time studio shoot. I do these shoots alot before, just something I did when I was bored hahaha. I got some sick images that night , even though I was fighting with the camera and the flash ahaha.
004/365 120210 "Java."
This was taken after my first photo shoot with the new camera. We decided to chill at one of the local bars and grab a drink. The drink above though isn't from the bar hahaha, it's one of my favorite flavors from a really popular cafe here called Java Joes. This night was something to remember fo'sho. New experiences, new equipment, new people. It was awesome and I can't wait for yah'll to read about that very shoot.
005/365 120310 "Tripp-Lite."
I thought I was done for the year with all the buying of expensive equipment, but to dad a new camera meant more photo shoots meaning more important files in my computer and knowing that the power here tends to be so messed up, it isn't worth risking the life of my 2k Imac. So I had to swallow my pride and bought a UPS Battery Back-Up System -.-
006/365 120410 "Raindrops and Lollipops."
This was an awesome day! LOL I know, I know. You see them rain drops, bet you're like wat's so awesome with a rainy day on a photo shoot. Well cause the whole day it didn't rain, there was hardly a gray cloud in the sky and I had amazing results with my 2nd and 3rd photo shoots with my new cam. Like the pick above, they came out Happy Dandy!!
007/365 120510 "Tis the Season."
Another day, another photo shoot. I was pretty happy with the results from this day too ^-^. New concepts, new feel and I got some pretty awesome shots! It was the day I started noticing that I was getting just a lil better than compared with the first day I had the cam hehe. Once again, I can't wait for you guys to read bout this shoot ^-^
Well I hope all yahll enjoyed my first week of the 365!
Stay tuned for the Second week and see what I come up with next =]
Love and Peace,
Nix
