It's a crazy busy time of year and many days are cold and dark. On top of that, the chances to get out and take photographs are few and far between. Ah, poor me... This was me a short time ago but thankfully I've come to my senses. I already have thousands of images! What a perfect opportunity to look more closely at some of the photos I've already taken rather than mope about the ones that are yet to be. Enough of feeling sorry for myself! However, as happy as I am with this idea, I still need some criteria for choosing what to post. And so, after some thought, I've decided to start of a series called "The Take". The plan is to choose a photo that could benefit from a bit more explaining and then do just that. I'll also include what I was thinking at the time and the camera settings details. (To be honest, I don't know as much about camera settings as I should. I'm hoping that by paying closer attention to these details, I'll learn something.) Well, enough with the introductions! Let the series begin! \(^.^)/ P.S. If there is a photo on this website that you are curious about, please let me know. Just tell me what page it is on and the title. If it's in the photo gallery, the gallery number would be helpful as well. Thanks! P.S.S. The series is currently titled "The Take". However, that's because my brain can't think of anything better at the moment. If you have any suggestions, they are more than welcome!

Are you familiar with PechaKucha? In Japanese "pecha kucha" means "chit-chat" but it is also the name of a simple presentation style where 20 slides are shown for 20 seconds each. That means the presentation is a total of 6 minutes and 20 seconds. PechaKucha events began in Tokyo in 2003 and have spread to more than 1000 cities worldwide. (For more information, click here.)
Why am I telling you this? Because I'm giving my first PechaKucha presentation in Nishinomiya, Kobe, on Friday evening. I've been asked to talk about my photography but, to be honest, I'm rather nervous. For one thing, it will be the first time I've ever stood up in front of a group as a "photographer". And second, although I've prepared (a lot!), the format is a little intimidating. It's challenging to fit everything into the slide/time limitations. That said, it has also been a fun challenge and, once it's over, I'm sure I'll be happy I participated. I will keep you posted! WIsh me luck! (^.^)/ (Here is the last slide from my presentation.) |
