Day 1 - O Christmas Tree



A new month means time for a new creative project.  This month I am going to focus on photography.  Here is what I know about photography - "People use cameras to take pictures.From that point on I am a blank page ready to learn new things.  So I hope to try to learn a few things about photography (basically how to use my digital camera beyond simply turning it on - pointing it at something and pressing the button).

So I will be posting photographs this month and the theme will be Christmas.  I will take pictures of Christmasy kinds of things – and maybe scan an old photo or two from Christmas past that interests me and see what I can learn about digital enhancement and alteration as well.
 
For today’s entry I will start with an example of how poor of a photographer I am currently.  This is a picture of my semi-nude Christmas tree.  I only have the lights on it so far, but that is progress since it stood in the house naked for several days before I added the lights.  I like the way the lights reflect in the window, but I am sure there are much better ways to take this photo and perhaps I will learn how during this month’s photographic extravaganza.
