Capture Your 365 January Challenge

This month I've decided that I will complete a monthly challenge. I've done bits and pieces over the last several years but never completed a whole month. This month will be different. I'll start by completing a day. Then a week. Then I'll have a month done. I can eat an elephant one bite at a time. Doing the challenge for a month is my elephant. I can do this little by little - bite by bite. 

January 1st - Fresh Start

 I thought the first page of a notebook would be a great background. Fresh notebook and the quote about the Fresh Start just seem to fit the prompt.

January 2nd - One Word

 

 This picture is a contrast. The background is blurry but the word focus is clear. I used a low aperture setting and held an object in front of me for the camera to focus on then took a picture of my Christmas tree. I used my Samsung N5 to write my name and upload it to my computer. In Photo Shop I changed the background of the focus photo to be transparent and combined it with the photo of the blurry tree.  

 Today's prompt is "This is so me / Self-Portrait" and I haven't done it. I'm kind of at a loss of what to take so I'm going to put this one on the back burner and think about it. I can come back later and take a photo that will make the statement. Tomorrow's prompt is "Need This" and I can think of many items that will fit that prompt. Just have to go to Lowe's and take a picture of the Saw I want and I'll be good to go. Lol.
