A shady spot with long cool grass at the end of a hot summer walk = lab goals.
I am not sure when I first started to set goals in my life but I am guessing it was before I was twenty years old. Though I have missed a lot more goals than I hit, I still find myself doing that task, sometimes just for the day, sometimes for the longer term.
When I first started photography a few years ago, I wanted to specialize in shooting birds in flight. I soon learned this was more of an advanced skill than I possessed at that time.
Over the past few years I have gotten better with larger birds like hawks and eagles but still was overly challenged by quick, fast birds.
One of my goals for the last couple of years as the warmer months approached was to shoot pheasants in flight, one of the more difficult challenges if you do wildlife shooting from a vehicle as everything that happens is very sudden and random.
Earlier this week from a distance of about 40 yards I saw 3 pheasants by the side of the road getting their morning grit. They spotted me and quickly skittered down into the ditch and up onto a large, bare field. I knew they could not make it into any brush without flying so I got out of the vehicle, focused on the first one and held my finger down as it took off.
Pretty stoked at the result, although at my stage of life I need to go easy on the stoke part.

Instead of watching football last friday, I ran outside and searched in the polder for a nice field with crop. In my neighbourhood farmers don't care about leading lines, the fields are a mess but the sky compensated the lack of a good foreground.

One of my photographic goals has been to take pictures of individual snowflakes. This has been a particularly difficult goal to achieve due to a number of reasons. First, the temperature and weather conditions need to be JUST right to create visible snowflakes, worthy of photographing (this is not often). Second, it doesn't snow every day (even if it has snowed often). And third, most of the times it has snowed, it was during a time that I could not get out with my camera. Either it was night time, during school hours, when I had an appointment, or when I was sick (and I was sick for six weeks straight this year, so this was often). I figured I would just have to wait until next year to get the shots I so desired. But winter wasn't done with us yet, even if it was the first day of spring! (After all, I was born in a blizzard at the end of March!) A friend of mine out in West Jersey posted a picture on Facebook of an individual snowflake which got me ALL EXCITED!!! I saw her picture during the school day and could not WAIT to get home to my camera and these snowflakes that seemed to be so well-formed! I just had to hope the temperature and conditions were the same by me, after school. I finally got home, and was THRILLED to see they were! My sister and I had a great time looking at and photographing these snowflakes! I'm sure we looked ridiculous sitting in the snow on our front lawn with blankets and towels. I was using a macro lens. The lens has a VERY narrow depth of field. So, if the flakes weren't completely flat and parallel with my lens, only part of the flake would be in focus. This was frustrating. And despite using a macro lens, it was still very difficult to get the flakes in focus. These that I am posting were the best of the crop. More pictures to come! I'll post a few each day. I'm not thrilled with the red background, but maybe someday I can figure out how to change the color in Lightroom.
Commit your way to the LORD,trust also in Him,&He shall bring it to pass.PSALM 37:5*
Anytime people set goals for their lives that require great striving,intense frustation,repeated failures,&manipulation of others-that is an unrealistic goal.
It is not within the realm of their God-given talents&abilities. It is beyond GODs plan&purpose for their life.Now,Im not saying that the achievement of goals doesnt require effort,education,training,or the development of skills.
Those factors are always necessary in the attainment of any goal that is worthy.God doesnt give us talents&abilities that are fully developed.He requires that we sharpen them&mature in their use.
ITs another thing entirely to commit yourself to becoming an opera singer when you cant carry a tune in a bucket.

I want this year to be an opportunity to be more present and aware of the privileged life I'm fortunate to live. 2019 was a year that often kept me in low places, and I continually found myself beneath a weight of burdens that I let tie themselves to me rather than let them pass over me.
To that goal, my partner suggested journaling to me. To write down the things that I struggle with. Write down the things I'm grateful for. Write down the things that are important to me.
My photography goals in 2020 mirror that of my mental health goals. I want to feel more open to being creative, and I want to be less selective about what I share. I want to spend less time under the weight of being perfect, or better than the last shot. I'm not built for that grind.
I scanned through the first journal entry I wrote in my new journal and came across the phrase "I want to be happy."
I wanted to share that piece of my journal without revealing all of my other sensitive things I'm writing about, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to embrace my photography goals as well.
I want to be happy. I want the people around to me to be happy and healthy as well.
Here's to a happy 2020.
52 Weeks of 2019
Week No: 1 — WooHoo — we’re off and running!
Theme: New Year / New Goals
Category: Creative
One of my resolutions for this year is to take more pictures--more specifically, to take weekly pictures. Last year was the first time in about a decade that I haven't fulfilled a weekly photo challenge. Not the best year for my creativity all around but I'm going to do my best to turn that around.
I took this shot on my morning walk (another resolution) and am going to get back to carrying my camera along with me and not just the phone.
Happy 2019 everyone!
Explored!
