February 2016 - 10,001 DP

February 2016 - Days Photographed to date: 273

February seemed like a long month - it was a day longer this year. More and more pictures taken using the new camera - can you tell the difference?

Link to the monthly Flickr Album to see all of the daily pictures and quotes. There are viewing controls in the upper right hand corner that you can use to see a slide show.

I will be dropping the YouTube Slide Show feature, the majority of viewers user the Flickr Album to review the pictures.

10,001 Pictures

When I started down this path of 10,001 Daily Pictures, I thought "Golly! That is a lot of pictures, I may never reach that!". True, I may never reach a picture a day for a lifetime, but reaching 10,001 pictures ended up being a no brainer. Since June 1, 2015, I have reached and exceeded taking 10,000 pictures.

Of course, one has to take in consideration if you put a phone on burst mode, that can easily rip of 20 to 40 pictures really fast. If you take multiple shots trying to get a better angle and/or light on a subject, you can easily take 10 to 20 pictures. I probably took 50 pictures yesterday taking photographs of birds and the moon; only one bird ended being in the 'Daily Pictures'.

Digital cameras have made this possible. If this was back in the days of film, I would not be doing a photo a day project especially with the development cycle that can be measured in days or weeks and cost of film!

I am not saying that you become a better photographer because you have a digital camera, you just have a great opportunity for more practice! And we all know that more practice will land your pictures in Carnegie Hall, well, maybe on Flickr :-)

Go take some pictures today, I will.
