I found this hat in a store front window and just had to add it to my collection !
The great thing about photography is that your collections can grow and grow, and you can admire them so easily without ever having to spend a dime!
Unless, of course, you take into consideration time and hard drive space, then we might have an issue, like I already have.
In light of that problem, and in conjunction with this ‘Photo of the Day’ project to date, I am severely limiting the number of images I take each day. For example, of this image, I took two – that’s an all time low for me! But the first image I knew from the onset was blurred – this hat was not near the front window of the little shop, it was set back a ways behind other miscellaneous items and they were blocking the light . . . so I am at ISO 1600 and f/2.8, with a shutter speed of 1/50s and I know I can’t hold things steady at this speed.
So, aside from the 250+ images I took today to test my camera, I only took 12 (equal to a small roll of film) for this project. Not too bad!
