From July 1, 2011 to July 1, 2012 I will be challenging myself to take a compelling photo every day, with the hope of improving my photography skills and expanding my vision. I'll be posting the images here to keep myself accountable and provide a record of my progress. Enjoy.

New Photo Toy!
For my birthday I got a gift certificate to buy some camera gear. One of the things I bought was a collapsible reflector to reflect light onto whatever I am photographing. Well, today it arrived in the mail, so I went out to try to use it. The flowers above were back-lit nicely by the sun, but the stems and such were in the shade, so I positioned my reflector to add some fill light. This worked great, except for the bottom right corner of the photo, which is the reflector. I, of course, didn't notice this until later, but I am otherwise very happy with the photo, plus I like that I caught a bee flying by.

This is a great shot, but you should have taken one without the reflector so that we could see the difference.
