I think this pretty much sums up my photography journey for 2010. I have tried my hand in categories both familiar and foreign, in landscapes, long exposures, abstracts, streets, events, sports, macros, and lots of travel photos, thanks to my wife for organising the trips and some work travel opportunities.

It has been great learning from the comments from our fellow CS mates, sometimes the encouragement received for some of the photos really helps to give a little push too. I've learnt that while it's important to put more thought into making that shot better (even though i still rely on a much post processing and need to improve control over the camera on the spot), what is most important is to enjoy the hobby and the process/moment of taking photos.

APAD2010 has been tough at times, many a times i have lagged behind or got caught up in other duties, but it was a good experience looking back at the photos taken over the year. I also don't know where my numbering went haywire, such that i end the year with 357days... ;p In any case, guess i will not do another APAD for some time, but will still likely start a "A photo when possible" at some point in 2011.

Thanks to all who have shared my journey and joy in this wonderful hobby for 2010. Have fun taking more photos in 2011!
