Where does the time go? It's amazing how when life gets a little hectic, time just slips by. I got rear-ended a couple of weeks ago and while mostly okay, have been nursing pain in my back, neck, and shoulder, which put a damper on photographic adventures and birthday plans. Still, I've managed to keep my head up, largely because of taking on the 100 Happy Days Challenge, which is all about finding small happy things every day.
Anyway, I got a wide angle lens for my birthday, which apparently is one of the most difficult lenses to use well. After the first foray with it, I can see why - it's really hard to get close enough to let it work its magic and make powerful images that pull the viewer straight into the scene. I definitely need to practice more and in general, get out during optimal lighting times.
I'm still behind in posting (muscle relaxants really knock you out) - more pics from birthday adventures to come.
