September Highlights

September ninth month of blogging, and this month I got published on Day 254 – not something that was in the plan at the start of the year, but something that helps me feel that the journey was worth while. I am delighted to see my photo in print. I captured a solar eclipse in detail, and I pushed myself further than I thought possible.

I have also agreed to join the committee of my local camera club, taking on the role of publicity officer – and look forward to finding out more about that role.

• January’s highlights: 365 project – month one!
• February’s highlights: 365 project – month two!
• March Highlights: 356 project – month three – 90 days done!
• April Highlights: 365 project – month four – 120 days!
• May 356 project – over 150 days – wow!
• June Highlights – 6 months achieved.
• July Highlights – 7 months completed ... and a new camera and lens 🙂
• August Highlights – 8 months completed.
