365 First's

[Jasmine Jefferies]

Recently, i've had a few "first"s on 365 photo-wise.

I've done light painting...



I've captured a dandelion...


I've photographed a water droplet... with an iPod...


And last, but not least, I've done a photo of a flower with raindroplets on it...


Share your 365 first's here, so we can all see your achievements (even if they were accidental, like my iPod water-droplet one)

I caught a bee in flight :)

[Chris]

and a squirrel being arrested...LOL

@superbeyotch hahahaha great!

Being on 365 has allowed me to experience far too many instances of "my first time"! Here are the most memorable ones so far.

My first jumping spider shot! I remember this experience vividly, as if it'd happened only yesterday.


My first snake shot! (It's a very beautiful Oriental Whip Snake. And I would love to see another one again.)


And my first dragonfly shot! (I had wanted a dragonfly shot for so long.)


And right now, I'm having my first "Jumping Spiders Week" because I'll be posting only shots of cute jumping spiders all week! I blame 365 for my addiction to these cute little guys! XD

Love these! 365 was the first time I ever picked up a frog and put it on an orange. From the look on his face, I suspect it was the first time for him too.....

@filsie65 I STILL have not found a frog to put on a fruit! Darn! I went out walking on morning at 4:30 Am too...to look for one. My husband says he sees one up here at the lake every morning on the sidewalk, etc.. Nada! I think it is too dry here.... I love your frog's face! He looks shocked.

I have lots of firsts but this is the most recent... taken today and a very first ever attempt at slow shutter speed and a waterfall.
