A Photo a Day (also known as Project 365) - What is it?? It's exactly what the name implies - a photo is posted each and every day for a full year. You can choose to impose whatever rules or criteria you wish- some photographers insist that the photo be taken the same day it's posted, others will post an older photo that they "Photoshop" the day they post it, and still others don't impose any rules at all. My goal for this project is to take several photos every day and choose the best from that day to post. I have been able to stick to it for the most part (with one or two exceptions so far). I carry my Nikon D300 wherever I go- it's now like one of my limbs. It's one of the most challenging things I've ever committed to doing but so far it's been well worth it. If you've got a minute to spare, go ahead and hit the slideshow button. And don't be shy about giving a photo a “thumbs up” or even commenting if you see something you like. :D

Lastly, for those visitors that aren't members of Smugmug, the photos posted to this gallery are critiqued by photographers that belong to the "Daily Community". If you click on the "DailyPhotos" link above (it's next to my name), you will be taken to a gallery with photos posted by other the members. There's a lot of beautiful work out there.... you can get lost for hours.

Christine > Day 150:  O'Puss (with high key filter)
May 30, 2009
I took this photo and loved the composition but the exposure was less than perfect due to the light outside the window being much brighter than the light on O'Puss' face.  When I tried to brighten it up on PS, the outside was way too bright, almost blown out.  I tried to use the High Key filter in that trial program I'm using (Melissa has the full version and recommended it- I'm just test driving it at this point).  I had to use the color selector and delete all but his face and I think I like it but I'm not sure so I posted both versions.  I would love feedback- both good and bad.  It's the only way I'll learn.   I think I like his eyes in this version better tho.... :)

Christine > Day 151:  Dakota
May 31, 2009
My cousin Cathy recently lost her favorite dog Emma- she referred to her as her "soul mate".  She was crushed by the loss.  Meet Dakota, the newest addition to her family.  A dachound like Emma.  Adorable, right? The perfect thing to heal open wounds. Cathy drove up from Virginia and a bunch of us went to a "chick party" complete with a psychic.  The psychic saw many things in my future- a move to the south east coast, possibly North Carolina in two years, two children, and she thinks I will make a lot of money if I go into children and pet photography here on Long Island.  Oh, and when I asked her when I'll be getting a wide angle lens, she said she saw it coming to me in the next 3 weeks.  Sounds impossible to me but I'll keep my fingers crossed lol.
Christine > Day 152:  Shelby Cobra
June 1, 2009
I find myself ahead in my photo a day (I have been taking the POD the day prior to posting- it's less pressure this way) and behind in my commenting.  I tried to comment last night but Smugmug was down.  It's off to work but I will catch up tonight.  I went to Martha Clara Vineyard and Farm to shoot the farm animals and was surprised to see a display of these beautiful old sports cars.  There were over 20 of them- I created a gallery under "things" if anyone is interested in cars.  I'm not usually, but I did fancy these little guys.
Christine > Day 153: Old Truck and a Cow
June 2, 2009
I can't believe how many old trucks there are on the North Fork of Long Island lol!!  Most are proudly displayed on their property for passer-bys to see.  I took a bunch of shots after work at this farm.  The fence seen in this shot was annoying as it was hard to get a shot of the cows so I wound up standing on the hood of my car to shoot.  I wound up choosing this shot (with the fence, taken while my feet were firmly on the ground) because I liked the composition and the cow sitting right next to the old red truck.  I posted two other shots to my alternate POD gallery because it was hard to choose between them.  I have to say, while standing on my car barefoot I prayed no-one would be fresh and honk at me.  It would have startled me enough to make me fall off the slanted hood of my Saturn lol.
Christine > Day 154: Frankie the Pug
June 3, 2009
This is Frankie and she's a girl.  I'm not usually a small dog lover but Frankie has stolen my heart.  My husband has already had a lot of time with her and he refers to her as "his girlfriend".  In fact, the first time he was going to visit our friend he said, "I"m off to see my girlfriend".  My head snapped around so fast my head nearly popped off.  He had a stupid grin on his face and told me his girlfriend is a pug.  I was OK with that.  :)
Christine > Day 155:&nbsp; 9 Year Anniversary
June 4, 2009 (my actual anniversary is June 3rd but I shoot the day before I post)
I can't believe it's been nine years since Ken and I were married.&nbsp; Time flies.&nbsp; Most normal people go out for a romantic dinner complete with lobster and champagne.&nbsp; What did Ken and I do?&nbsp; We went out to our local Italian restaurant/pizzaria and had linguini with white clam sauce and then went to the movies to see a horror flick (Drag Me To Hell).&nbsp; That's how we roll.&nbsp; I was going to post a shot of Ken and I holding hands in the restaurant but opted for this seedy looking shot of Ken all alone in the theater.&nbsp; We were the only people watching the film lol.&nbsp; The others are in my alternate gallery which
