Photo a day {in May}

Hey there!

I started with a photography course in February and I wanted to challenge myself and also get some practice. So, in May I did a "Photo a day in May". And what fun is it if you do it alone, so I called upon some of my friends to join me. I had so much fun and I also learned something new with every photo. I did realise though that I really need a tripod!  

I uploaded all the other photo's in an album on my Facebook. You can go check it out here.

Let's get going!

*** This is my own work. I shoot with a Canon 700D. Please do not copy or use any of the photo's without my consent. Thank you for your cooperation***

The List

   f/14 1/13sec ISO-400 35mm

Day 1: Self Portrait

I thought this was a little challenging. I did not want to do the boring stand in front of the camera and pose, so I tried a different angle. I like this.

 

f/22 0.8sec ISO-400 24mm

Day 2: What you wore

I blog. So what do bloggers do? They try and take pictures as creatively possible to show outfits and stuff. What do you think? Did I pass?

Day 3: Clouds
