I’ve been getting into photography a lot more and have acquired some good gear which I just need to use better. I’m interest in panoramas and star trails. I’ve done one portrait shoot for fun and quite enjoyed that and have since practiced on my daughter, an 8 month old makes for an interesting subject.
I’ve entered my first contest photography contest with a submission to the 19th Annual Parenting Magazine Photo Contest. I’m pretty excited and I hope I do well.
