Eight Years On by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Eight Years On

I was challenge to make a photograph that depicts my time here on 365.

When I started, 1st April 2016, I was a point and shooter, in auto, with no understanding of my ( well actually His) camera. For years, doing white on white was my bete noir, my nemesis, a thorn in my side, something stressful that would change my hobby into a stressful chore. For a while my profile asked get-pushed challengers not to challenge me to to make a WoW image.
I now approach this genre with less dread. I am also happy to use processing to help me, which I was dead against, in my naivety, back then.
I have also been mentored, advised and critiqued here over the years by many of you. I've undertaken an OU digital photography course and am still active in AYWMC, all of which have undoubtedly made me a better photographer than when I started my 30 day stint here.




@annied I hope the photo and the narrative explains how I hope I've met your challenge

30 days to eight years that’s quite impressive! Your photo is also quite impressive with a wonderful variety of whites and textures

this has been the most fun way to learn about photography ever, and I continue to learn every single month

Well - you've certainly nailed WoW! And a million other photo related things. I really love how you're always up for a new experience and how you tell a tale that takes us all along with you. It's been a lot of fun to meet you - and I can't believe 8 years have passed by! Cheers Rob

I haven't followed you for the whole 8 years, but I've seen your work become so much improved. Obviously the time you've put into studying this craft has paid off. I look to your work to inspire me. Happy Anniversary to 365.

I started here in September 2010 also as a point and shooter on auto except I've gone backwards and now use a phone 🤣

@haskar still not my favourite that's why I did this one!
@tiaj1402 thank you
@kjarn I love your photos, it's not the gear, it's how it's used by the person behind it ( my phone's rubbish at photos!)
@randystreat I'm a copyer Kathy not a bone of creativity!!

You sound incredibly professional and a true expert compared to me, a humble amateur who knows nothing of the technology!!
