Welcome to my photo of the day blog for 2009.

It is with some apprehension that I approach this POTD challenge. While the 2007 POTD (http://www.pbase.com/bob_n/potd_almost) was a tremendous experience, it took quite a bit more dedication and support than I, my family or friends had anticipated. That said, I was pleased with many of the photos and I learned a tremendous amount about the craft of photography.



Some of my favourites from the 2007 POTD are:















This year I plan to be a bit more experimental, both in the photo taking and image processing. Additionally, I will attempt to provide some technical information about using a DSLR, digital workflow and photography in general. I do plan on posting at least one photo per day in 2009 although not every photo will make it to this blog. To track the each daily photo please look here http://www.pbase.com/bob_n/photo_of_the_day_2009.

Background: I live with my wife and three adult children in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. During the past 20 years I’ve been developing software for the broadcast graphics industry and have had a passion for photography for many years. My education has provided me with a good understanding of optics, electronics and of course, software. I am an avid reader of several photography web sites including http://www.dpreview.com/ , http://www.imaging-resource.com/ http://luminous-landscape.com/ and http://www.megapixel.net/html/index.php .

Here's the first image for 2009

This evening we took down the tree and other decorations.
This little angel has graced the top of many a tree in our home.
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy the photographs.

Bob
