Shuttercal: An Image for Each Calendar Day


I try to post each of my iPhone Photo-a-Day images to my Shuttercal page (http://www.shuttercal.com/calendar/billbooz/). It is fun to look back (I have been doing this since September when I got the iPhone 5) and see what images I have posted. I try to keep a different theme for each day of the week (B&W on Sunday, storytelling on Saturday, for example) so, that too, is fun to look down all the Tuesdays or Saturdays to see any connections.

As the year goes on, though - I am now on Day 66 - I am seeing I need to change some of my daily themes. For example, it is getting more and more difficult to find flowers to shoot on Fridays and our neighbors' tree (Tree Thursdays) is getting kind of boring now that all of the leaves have fallen and it really is not changing from week to week.

Gotta work on that...

Looking for Some New Themes

Themes, that is, in the sense of things to shoot with my iPhone on particular days of the week as part of my 365 Day Project for iPhone images: http://boozthroughthelens.posterous.com. I have been doing flowers on Fridays, but flowers are getting scarcer and more difficult to find, especially close to home. Wednesdays have been my "pot luck," anything goes days, but would like to focus on something. On Thursdays, I've been shooting our neighbors' changing tree, but it isn't really changing much these days.

Any suggestions?

Back in the Photo Blog Game!

Realized I still had this blog after following link from comment I made on our son's blog for their new daughter - our third granddaughter - Madeline Carmicheal Booz (http://themadbooz.blogspot.com/). Figured since I plan to comment frequently on Mads' blog, I better add some content of my own to this old photo blog I have pretty much left in the dust for a few years!!

I recently got an iPhone and decided as a way to force myself to check out the many alternative camera apps to post an image a day taken with the iPhone. Each week I try to change camera apps until I decide which one I really like to use the most (currently between Camera+ and ProCamera). I post those images at http://boozthroughthelens.posterous.com/.

I also teach photography classes now (actually, have for the past few years, but since retiring, now teaching in our hometown of Lynchburg, VA - http://www.infotor.com/photoclasses) and as part of my freebie give-back, I try to post three times a week to my photography learning blog at http://www.whboozimages.com: Mondays - general photo tips; Wednesdays - recording video with a dSLR; and Fridays - flash photography.
