Nine days out of three hundred and sixty-five have passed already.  So far, so good with this project.  I’m taking it much easier than I did last year.  Last year I was very strict with myself, I tried as hard as possible to only post pictures that I took the day before, sticking with the “photo a day” rule.  This year I’m not putting that much pressure on myself.  If I happen to take photograph last week, and I want to use it….then I’m using it.  I believe the point is to use my camera every day, and that’s what I’m doing.

Last night I worked a little with my new electronic flash.  That thing has more buttons on it than my camera does.  I’m so lost, I have no idea what I’m supposed to do with it.  The only thing I can do is put it on the camera and shoot, I’m sure I will eventually figure it out.  I don’t really do ANY flash photography, but I do think it’s important to have one.  I got this shot of my dog last night using the flash. 

I overexposed it a little on purpose, I don’t know, it looks a little pink to me, but I was happy that her eyes came out sharp.  (50mm f/1.8).
