    2008.03.01 First Daily Photo


    Self Portrait, originally uploaded by Mike Fullerton.

    Self portrait taken during the wedding I shot on March 1, 2008. This is with my 10.5mm Fisheye lens, Nikon d300, and Speedlight SB-800 bounced off the white ceiling. This is lens is officially known as the nose embigginator (like I need any help in that department).

    my daily photo project

    I’ve been planning to do a daily photo project for a while now. I need to practice, practice, practice, and nothing helps like accountability. In high performance driving, we call this seat time. The best modification to your car you can make is to improve the driver. And boy do I need seat time. I’m going to shoot every day and post one shot per day to a flickr page I set up just for this, here. I chose March 1, 2008 to start this project because I wanted to start on the first day of a month, and it was the day I shot my first wedding. Gulp. Maybe I’ll post about my experience shooting the wedding once I’ve recovered. I’ll say this though, I was more sore after shooting the wedding than after I was after Skiing at Squaw Valley for two days. I can now see why wedding photographers make so much money. I’m truly in awe of the folks who do this well (golf claps).

    My initial plans are to shoot with my Nikon d300, my Nikkor 24-70 lens, and my SB-800 and SB-600 Speedlights. One of my first challenges I’ve set for myself is to expose all my shots manually.

    Here’s one of many great posts about doing a daily photo project.

    Wish me luck.

    I think this picture is absolutely stunning. There are a bunch more in this photostream as well. Wow.
