Yep, this is definitely harder than expected. But I wanted the incentive to look at the world/my life a little differently, and it's certainly working.
It's hard to find subjects at this time of year though...work all day, dark by the time I get home, lots of things that need doing in the run up to Xmas...poor light most of the time, and precious little head-space to think to take a photo.
Having taken a couple of indifferent snaps at work (facing the opposite direction from yesterdays photo - ooh, radical, how creative!), I decided to try for a nice pic of our lovely, cosy, open fire in our lovely, cosy lounge. I've just spent the best part of 2 hours writing Xmas cards with this exact view of the fireplace. There's definitely worse places to be!
I forgot, though, that I'm a completely clueless photographer. My ambition is usually swamped by my immense ineptitude, and today's photo provides ample demonstration of this phenomena.
Consider this - the photo above is the best photograph I took all day! And the quality is quite horrible, the only vaguely saving grace being the Christmassy warmth of the subject.
I'll pause for a moment whilst you consider how dire my average photo's must be.....

Anyway, I'm still hanging in there, managing to keep to my plan so far.
So, ya know, yay me...
This photo is amazing if you really look at it in a different way like I have :) the secret to being good at anything is to not put pressure on yourself... if this is something you're concerned about then consider this... you have mastered the playing of a musical instrument through focus and practice, you are mastering the elements through climbing... you'll get better with practice :)
