For the last few years, my only camera (apart from my sixteen or so antique cameras) has been a Canon EOS 300D – a digital SLR. It’s a very good camera, and takes great photos. But it’s rather unwieldy, and I’m often out and about and see something which would make a great photo, but I don’t have my camera with me. I always have my phone with me though, and recently I’ve started taking photos with its camera. I’ve been able to get some interesting photos, but the quality is atrocious.<\/p>\n
So for Christmas, I got a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS3. It’s a tiny point-and-shoot camera, and it doesn’t even have a manual mode. But it does take pretty good quality photos (compared to other cameras in the same price bracket and size), and it’s tiny. So I am able to keep it in my pocket at all times. And this coming year, my plan is to do that.<\/p>\n
For every day of 2009, I am going to take a photograph and post it on flickr. I have no rules about what I will take photographs of. Some might be photos of what I was doing that day, some might be interesting things I saw, or just arty shots I’m trying out. But the challenge is to get one photo for every day. I imagine that after May, there might be quite a few which are of The Baby, or things to do with The Baby, although I’m going to try not to have just baby pictures. Those pictures can go in a separate album. Oh, and the plan is to take a photograph every day – but I won’t necessarily always post them on the day I take them – I’ll probably end up uploading them in batches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
