Photography in 2016

I’m not a New Years resolution person, but I do like setting goals for myself when possible.  And of course at the beginning of any year, it seems like a good time to evaluate and work on some goals.  At times I hate talking about goals because then if I don’t follow through, I feel like I’ve failed.  But you know what, I’m not going to let that stop me from sharing.  If I accomplish some of my goals, that is great, if I don’t, then that’s fine too.  🙂

One of the goals, or things I want to work on this year is my photography, specifically composition.  I have a great camera my husband bought me 4 years ago for our 17th anniversary, and I know the basics to keep it out of the auto mode.  But I really struggle with composition and I want to grow in that.  I have a couple of websites I am starting to read to get more ideas, and I’m looking at an ebook that helps with the composition/creativity aspect.

With that in mind and some of the things I read this past weekend I went out in our 1 1/2 feet of snow in our back yard and took some photos.  I didn’t take as many as I would have like, the snow was just too deep.  But I like what I took.  I have put a few here, but you can see the rest on my Flickr account.
