The New Manual DSLR Project

Hi, and welcome to my blog. The Manual DSLR Project was started March 30, 2010 with the intent of devoting one year to learning how to use my Nikon D300 in manual mode. I invited you to join me as I took this journey. You celebrated with me as my fingers began to remember which wheel adjusts the shutter speed and which controls the aperture settings. I was brutally honest in sharing my mistakes.

A year passed quickly...and I achieved my goal of demystifying the manual operation of my camera.

While the Manual DSLR Project was intended to be bound by time (one year), I am eager to keep the conversation going. So look for additional posts on anything related to photography. And interact. Let me know if you are reading the blog and find it useful.

All the best...
Mike

Happy New Year! and Mapmyfollowers.com

Just a quick post to say Happy 2011 and to thank those who read this blog and follow me on Twitter. Tonight I captured a screen shot from Mapmyfollowers.com to show where all my Twitter followers live. Here's what it looks like.
This is a cool app and lots of fun to see where your friends are. You can click on any of the dots and it will show the person's details. Somebody sent a message on Twitter earlier asking for a great photographer in Kansas City. I just pulled up this map, clicked on Kansas City and though I didn't have a photographer from KC who follows me (shame on KC photographers) I did find that there was a photo lab and was able to pass that along to the person looking for a photographer. Very cool.

Well, I've made it to the new year and my head is about to drop onto the pillow. Good night all.

All the best in 2011...Mike
