I Quit...

I decided to put an end to my 365-day photography challenge when I was approaching my 100th photo. Please don't misunderstand me, I did enjoy participating in the challenge. However, due to my demanding work schedule of 10 hours a day, six days a week, I found myself lacking the necessary time to capture the photos I had envisioned for each day's prompt. Many of my ideas suffered from inadequate preparation and execution time. Consequently, most of the photos I took barely met the minimum requirements of the challenge, and I felt dissatisfied with them. Out of the 94 photos I managed to capture, less than half of them truly reflect my vision and bring me a sense of pride and happiness. In the end, I realized it was better to halt the challenge rather than continue producing mediocre photos just for the sake of completing it. Perhaps I will give it another try next year when I can allocate more time and energy to properly pursue my photographic aspirations.

79/365: Penny for the Guy

Image
  Was sick yesterday so was not able to post for yesterday’s prompt. Also, I don’t have a penny with me so this would be more appropriately called ‘fil for the Guy’.

72/365: Costume

Image
This is the first thing that comes to my mind when I hear Halloween costume. The blanket ghost costume has probably the same relevance as the Christmas tree has to Christmas.

Couldn’t get a good photo of the moon tonight so I am posting this old photo I took of a full moon. This was taken on March of last year. I used a Sigma 70 - 300 mm F4-5.6 lens on a Nikon D5300.
