One year ago: February 2007

Once a month, I like to take a look back on photos I took a year ago. It helps me to understand how far (or not far) I’ve come in my quest to improve my photography skills. February 2007 was a decent month for photos. In fact, February was the month I discovered HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. Because of this, most of the photos you’ll see below are, in fact, HDR shots.

On February 9th, a bitterly cold night in DC, I traveled to the National Cathedral again, this time to get some night shots and try out my new HDR skills. Two of my favorites below:

February Photo Challenge: Colors

It’s February 2nd, which means a new monthly challenge has begun over at PhotoChallenge.org. The task of those participating is to pick a color each week and then come up with three photos where that color overwhelms the image. From the announcement:

“I’ve decided to pursue a Color Theory challenge. What is Color Theory? Well, for our purposes it is basically making a concerted effort to capture an image with one single color overwhelming the majority of the image. Basically, your photo should be primarily one color. Be creative though, I’d love to see photos that capture a color in a new and unorthodox way.” (link)

Make sure you join the PhotoChallenge Flickr group and, whether you upload your images to Flickr or Zooomr, be sure to tag your photos with “februarychallenge” and “februarychallenge2008″.

My color for the first week is blue… I look forward to seeing all your photos!
