Maria's 365 - January 1

I started blogging about 3 months ago and I love it.  But I wanted to start this blog so that I could document my 365 project.  If you haven't heard of it you can learn more about it here! Basically, you take a picture of a moment in your life every day for one year.  I started my project365 on January 1, 2011 and was trying to find a way to post them that wouldn't bombard my life blog.

My husband and I got a brand new nikon d3000 for Christmas and I thought Project 365 would be a great way to learn a little bit about the camera and taking photos.  I am still shooting mostly on automatic but try to force myself to shoot on aperture mode as much as possible.  Any tips on using a DSLR are of course always welcome!! I will try to post my photo of the day, everyday but if I fail I will still post it in it's own dedicated post asap.

So here is my photo from January 1, 2011

This photo was shot in automatic mode shortly after midnight on New Years morning.  And edited to make it a little bit sharper.
