Project 5 Recap

 Post Project Thoughts on Meet Sprocket Corresponding blogpost can be found here:  https://www.awittybarb.com/2021/04/meet-sprocket.html What Went Well The model was easy to assemble. Photos were easy to set up and take. Photos turned out well. What Did Not Go So Well I didn't start until a week or so into the timeline, but that worked out okay in the end. Overall Thoughts I want to buy the rabbit music box now, but will wait a month or so. Migraines also kill motivation to do anything, but I seem to have built a habit of taking photos, so that's helping some. Moving Forward I think I want to plan a 1 month project to go along with the weekly projects.

Project 6 Recap

 Post Project Thoughts on Cherry Blossoms Corresponding blogpost can be found here:  http://www.awittybarb.com/2021/04/cherry-blossoms.html What Went Well Managed to take pictures before a windy rain story knocked all the petals off the trees! Took pictures every morning and most afternoons. It was nice to have a reason to leave the house, if only to go into the yard. Photo editing in Lightroom is pretty easy. Finally figured out how to do it on my phone.  What Did Not Go Well I think everything went pretty well... so nothing for this category this time. Overall Thoughts I'm very happy I took the pictures daily. I think I improved with angles and focusing. I also managed to capture some pictures of bees! Moving Forward I'd like to have less of a focus on plants and flowers themselves. Maybe limit to one post focusing on that per month. I also need to continue learning to use my camera and resist the urge to buy a new camera lens...
