Catch the Moment 365: Week 1

I've joined a group of amazing women in a challenge to take a photo a day for a year. I've attempted the this challenge a few different times in the past on my own but haven't been very successful. I also haven't had anything to keep me accountable, so hopefully knowing each week that I need to link up with a group of people all attempting the same thing will help me keep up!

You can follow their journey here:

My goals for this project are to improve my editing skills, learn to use all of the functions on my camera, and to document my family's year. Looking back at this week's photos I have played with my ability to choose the focal point and several of the different modes of the camera. Next week, I would like to explore and learn more about changing the ISO. Enjoy!
