Another (mis)Adventure

I'm trying. Really, really trying. I eat, sleep and breathe photography. I am constantly striving to get better. Not sure how it's working out. Sure, if you were to look at my very first image, taken with my first DSLR, which was the Canon Xti, and then compare that image to my latest, you'd probably say I've come far. But being the perfectionist I am (in my mind!), I am always unhappy with my progress. I am someone who ALWAYS thinks that everything I want to do, I should be able to do it 5 minutes ago without ever having learned how. Yep. I'm weird. I'm still having a great deal of problems with post-processing for an appealing image. Skin tones are my nemesis.

Anyway, here's my photo for today. I shot this at 8 p.m. and it was overcast. The rain has been relentless here lately. I'm ready for some sun, so I can search for open shade and still let in beautiful light.

Settings: Nikon D90; 50mm f/1.4D lens; f/2.8; 1/200sec; ISO 320
