Project365 - Out and About

Introduction
Lately, I've been facing a bit of a block when it comes to my photography. There's lots of things I want to try, but either I don't have the equipment, or the conditions aren't right. As such, I have been procrastinating... But the best advice I read recently was to just simply go & shoot. Take photos every day, even if you end up discarding them later. So that's what I am going to try.
The Setup
The ever-so-trusty Canon 60D, paired with the de-facto Canon 24-105mm f/4 L zoom lens. All shot handheld, so no tripod or other setup required.
The Photos
This first photo was taken while I was waiting for Pat to be done work. The hospital she works at is a brand-new facility, with state of the art everything. They have even tried hard to work the landscaping into the surrounding area. I like the way they used this long grass to act as a screen around an outside patio area.


It is certainly a neat building, which incorporates all the latest technology to make it Leeds Platinum certified. I just like looking up at it !










Lessons Learned
In the movie Finding Nemo, the one character Dory (played by the wonderful Ellen Degeneres) had a catch-phrase - "Just keep swimming...". I have taken that over as "Just keep shooting..."
Hopefully, that as I find something new to shoot every day, it will help me find my muse. Stay tuned, you never know WHAT I will shoot next !
