Already one day late...

Apparently the year 2011 is the year of 365 projects. If you're unfamiliar with the concept they are photography projects where you take an image everyday for a year.  Most 365 projects I've seen are portraits of the photographer, and I've seen some amazing projects done before.  I don't find myself to be that exciting.  I do, however, need a new creative outlet for my photography (and my sanity) and therefore I'll join my friends in their attempts at 365 projects and see what I come up with.  My goals besides an outlet, is to strengthen my photography and learn to better master my photoshopping skills.  I haven't yet learned how to properly speak through my images. I'm good at faking it for academic purposes but not for my own.  I figure this is also a good time to start seeing how my son is now 7 months old and a little bit better at entertaining himself, allowing mommy to get something done that doesn't involve work, school, or baby.
Today's image is going to be a panoramic I created from a walk I took with my boyfriend and our son.  The amazing amount of rain and snowfall we've had up in the Sierra's has created a very high level of water in the lakes and rivers and we decided to take a walk to take a look.  There were quite a few happy fisherman out at the dam when we went and I caught one of the fly fisherman in my images.  I also didn't line them up exactly.  I liked the ruggedness that my handheld panning created.
