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…

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.
