The Best Part of My Day, originally uploaded by CraigGrocott.
Day 1 – Cheeseburger, fries and onion rings. Washed down with a nice cold beer.
This could be a mistake, but I’ve decided to start a new photo-a-day-for-a-whole-year project….
I promised myself that I would a few weeks back, I’ve bought a new camera recently and have been focusing on taking photos when I’m hiking, most of which end up here, but I wanted to get back to the level of comfort and confidence with my camera that I had back when I was doing the 365 days project.
I was fairly reluctant to do another self-portrait project because last time it just became a real chore frankly. I was struggling with the theme, and threw out a plea on Twitter; I didn’t get a flood of responses if I’m being honest, but huge thanks to Mr Dyson for the concept of “The Best Part of My Day”. I’m not sure that this one won’t go the same way as 365 days, but we’ll see…
The remaining 364 photos will, of course, be better than this first one; except for when, y’know, they’re not…
Going back through some of my old 365 days photos. I’m tempted to start again, the next 12 months are going to be… interesting…
It might be time to settle down at the table, play the cards I’m dealt and not be afraid to go “all in”, wether I have the cards or not.
I read this in a weekend, two sittings basically, and I can’t wait for the follow on, which should be announced next week!

It’s very slow to focus, but that’s a ‘feature’ of the lens. Apparently you can get much better results if you get to grips with the manual focus.

I finally caved and bought a Panasonic Lumix GF-1, with the 20mm pancake lens of course.
I’m selling my Canon 400D, and all the lenses. I plan on starting fresh if/when I can afford a real (full-frame) dSLR.
Review to follow, until then read this one.

BTCC at Thruxton. Very Wet. Very Windy. Very Cold. Very Wet. Did I mention it was cold?
Cracking weekend with cracking people though.
