2/27/09 365 days ago, I took my first daily photo of a bee and some cherry blossoms. Now that a year has passed and the same tree is in bloom again, I decided to try the same thing! I like the exposure on this - I used my SB800 for some extra lighting, which definitely got rid of some hard shadows from the noon sunlight. I also like the interesting pose of the bee, like she's circling the flower or something. I started my dailies on leap day (2/29) so that's why I still have one more day to go before I complete my full year. Hopefully I'll have a super-amazing photo tomorrow to close out the year, but no promises. You can't force art, right? :)

Since 2/29/08, I've been uploading a photo every day to this gallery. The idea is to challenge myself to take interesting shots, even if it means having to stage some sort of random scene. Some photos are heavily photoshopped, but the rule is that I have to take the source photo on that particular day - no pulling from the past. I also try and add comments about how I shot/edited each photo. Please comment and let me know what you think!
