So I am embarrassed that I didn't upload an image for my 365 yesterday. It was raining outside and I had put HDR as my theme for week one and didn't know what I wanted to photograph inside the house for HDR. So I thought about it all day and came up with what I thought were good ideas. But when I viewed them on the computer I really was not happy at all.

 

I am not the type of person that can upload something I am not happy with. I guess the mentality of a person that is serious about a 365 project is willing to upload something everyday, even if they are not too happy about their image. I just can't bring myself to do something like that. Up until recently my uploads were not very frequent due to being way to picky. I am not saying I am great or anything, but I at least need to be willing to stand behind my image and I don't think I will be able to do that for a 365 project. Maybe when I get more experience and knowledge I can try again. I will do my best to upload images on a regular basis.

 

This image is an hdr image comprised of three 30 second exposures. I applied a lot of dodging and burning.

 

Thanks for looking.
