Yes! I did it!!! This time I actually did get the shot(s) in WAY ahead of schedule - however, it has taken me almost 'til midnight again to get it posted - but I suppose that's progress - and it's DEFINITELY a goal met for the 2nd day in a row!
Today's shot came as a planned afterthought - I knew I had to get a video clip of something for an actual PAID project I'm working on (the one that I keep procrastinating myself around with all of these cool photography projects...). I figured since I have to bring the video camera with me, I might as well throw the D7000 in the car as well, and I'll just snap a shot after I get the required video footage.
So I found myself standing outside of the synagogue, looking around for something interesting to photograph for today's pic. It was a bit of a windy day, (and nice, bright high-noon sun), so the 2 flags snapping in the wind caught my eye (American and Israeli flags). Alright - good enough....so I started snapping away from where I was standing outside my car after having tucked the video camera back in it's bag. Done - right? Uh....well - this is me, remember? Not quite done....maybe I'll just step over to the other side of the parking lot, and maybe a silhouette shot? No.... I know - a sunburst shot! Yeah - now we're on to something!
As I was shooting into the sun, it was very hard to see what I was actually getting on the display screen. So I would snap, finagle the camera around so I could get beyond the glare, and then go back at it again, trying different settings and trying to get the best snap of the flag. As I was inspecting the display, out of the corner of my eye, this HUGE flock of birds fly directly above the flag AND I MISSED IT!!!!
Or - at least so I thought...apparently I caught the stragglers!
This 365 thing is pretty cool! I can't wait to see what I'll get tomorrow!
