Night shot in Joshua Tree National Park on October 26, 2010. I wasn’t far enough from city lights to get a completely dark sky but I like how it came out. Shot with my Nikon D3, exposure was around 30 minutes, f-stop 3.2, ISO 100, and using my 28-105mm lens.
As I started to put this post together I intended to do a quick rant about my frustrations with how photography is going for me, but it quickly proved to be a bigger conversation for me than just doing a few sentences. So, I’m gonna save that one as a draft and work on it when I have more time to sit and think. The quick version of what inspired me to want to talk about that, I was frustrated with how little I post to this page. I had hoped to post at least three days a week with a photo or series of photos to be accompanied by a decent size essay below (500 words or more type). But lately I spend so much time hunting jobs for things I don’t really find interesting to share here, or I’m so busy/too tired to put together a long post here when I have something interesting.
So to jump start things for me, I’m gonna ease up on the expectations for every post. I’m going to help myself build momentum by just trying to post a photo of mine I find interesting as often as possible (no more than once a day). Sometimes there might be a long conversation to go along with the image, and other times (probably most the time) there will just be an image with a simple caption attached.
I want this page to have better focus. I’m a jump in and just do it type of guy, so, for me to get this thing more focused I just need to start posting. Slowly, a rhythm will start to develop.
