Practice, Practice, Practice…
Today Nathan and I headed out to Credit Union Center so I could practice panning with his car. It was a lot harder to do by hand and I can see it’s going to take me some serious practice to keep the camera level and my subject in focus while tracking it. Here is what I managed to get:

Things I’d like to do this year in photography. – Part 1.
There are a hundred things I’d like to do this year for life in general but I only have a handful of things I’d like to do in photography this year.

I’m always looking for tips, suggestions, and war stories so if you have any related to todays post feel free to share them in the comments!
