Stories of my photos.

The Daily Challenge

Time is scarce. Period.
Unless you've won the Lottery, most likely you'll have a hard time in managing time! bigsmile
I know I do! p

And when your hobby is photography and you have no time to shoot, how can you deal with it ? The answer is easy: make time! Or, at least, make the most of your time!!!

To find time, "make" time or make the most of my time it's a challenge I have decided to face. Too much time without shooting is making me to lose my skills in photography.

So, I'll start to shoot on a daily basis, and to make it a real challenge, I'll try to do it "the old way": only 36 shots, like an old roll of film, and without looking at the camera screen to see the results. They will be pretty interesting, I'm sure! lol

A lot of DFAS are on their way, but they will be my DFAS (a shot taken when we are Desperate For A Shot...), without a common theme. Only whatever I set my lens on, like...




... looking at the sailship NRP Sagres...



... sharing stories while getting warm in the sun...



... a dull task that became a daily pleasant hobby...



... looking into the past or into the future...


... a game of light and shadow...



... or only a silhouette in the sunset.



By the way, it's nice to be back!

See ya!

Old school IS cool!And then, suddenly...

I an happy to read this post.I like your challange andlook forward to it. Many greetings from Norway.

@Michal - Thanks, Michal. happy And without looking into camera's screen, you'll have the idea how great photographers of old times were great! And I'll be watching your blog... bigsmile

@Sami - Thanks, Sami. happy The idea is to have only 36 chances to take an half-decent shot. You know, replicate the use of an analogue camera. Hopefully will improve my technique... or not! lol And still have to feed my S&T album! bigsmile

@Eva - Thanks, Eva! And have a fun-tastic holiday in Norway! bigsmile

Damned screen drives me crazy, anyway. It's always lighting up and distracting me.

Sami Serolaserola Thursday, February 23, 2012 7:13:31 PM

I think you can switch the LCD off on DSLR cameras left

I think it is a nuisance half the time. I wish I could afford a digital cameral with a small screen on top, to see camera settings.

Mine is switched off. That means it doesn't show the image after being taken. However, I always need the screen to check the settings. awww

Fortunately the D60 has a "switch" that turns off the screen each time I take the camera to the eye level. up

Thanks, der Wandersmann, that would be perfect... if only it would fit! cry
There's none made for Nikon D60 screen, with it's non rectangular shape.
