A Year in the Life - Dailies 2009-2010
Photo diary project in which I would ideally take one photo a day as a sort of 'image diary' of life. However, we all know that I'm not going to take a photo a day, although we can all die of shock if I do find the time to do that. I'd love to have stunning images all, but the main point is to document life through one photo per day.

This stripe of in-focus area is driving me nuts. Seems like I have tried all the settings and combination of settings I know and I still can't get the whole darn thing in focus using macro.
George - not sure if your comment on my last daily was an invitation to speak further on the star ratings here as you and I have done. As I explained to you, personally, I'd much prefer a more meaningful use of the star ratings instead of getting and giving blanket 5 stars.
I'd learn more and grow more as a photographer if say, 2 stars were the fine, normal cool shot standard, and 4 shots the "Wow! Great shot - I love it!" standard. I'd save 5 stars for once in a blue moon when something REALLY hugely bowls me over. Just me, but I'd rather have that. But I know that some people (you, George!) would get ticked off if people started giving 2 and 3 star ratings for good shots. So I've been sticking to 4 stars and pretty much reserving 5 stars for the bowl-me-over type shots. Or for ones that evoke a strong emotion (like going to eat ice cream! :)
As far as the exif issues, I think I have it solved, thanks. Wrote pages about it and got help from folks on the challenges forum. Consensus is it is a bug in the Corel PSP X3 'upgrade' software.
Thanks for your comments and support! I am so enjoying being back and seeing everyone's amazing work!
