Photo Snob

Hi, I'm Leona, and I'm a photo snob. There. I said it. Ooo, that feels good to get off my chest.

I guess you might be wondering what a photo snob is huh? Well, let me explain.

At one time, I loved taking pictures. I would carry my camera everywhere and anywhere. I shot stuff just for the pure fun of shooting. But as I learn more about photography and what makes a "good" image, I shoot less. One reason is because it takes me fewer practice shots to get the good one. Part of it is because I just don't like taking snap shots anymore. I want every shot to be the best shot ever!

That doesn't sound so bad right? The problem is that I now go days (sometimes even weeks) without picking up my camera. I have allowed my passion for photography to die down from the burning bon-fire inferno it once was to a slow smoldering flame. I want that inferno back!

So I have challenged myself to a 365. A 365 is when you take a shot a day for one year. Okay, I'm sure I will take more than one shot, but I will publish one shot. The whole goal is to just starting shooting again. To keep this from being just another job I am imposing some rules on myself.

1. Once I develop the idea of the shot I want, I can take as many shots as needed to get the shot I want but I can't change my mind just because It doesn't work out in camera how my mind saw it.
2. I can spend no more than 5 min on post processing. This is about capturing the image, not fine tuning it in lightroom and PS.

That's it. Although I may add more rules later if I see the need. Because I want each post to be seperate, I'm going to follow this one up with my very first 365 image.
