A friend and fellow Smugmugger has been urging me to join the Daily Photos community, so in an effort to stay more active both with my camera and with my website, I'll be attempting to take one good photo every day and post it here. Feedback is welcome - especially technical criticism! Let me know what you think. If you like these, you can check out the rest of my galleries at

Silhouette of dead leaves.
I really wanted to get an expansive sky shot, because the clouds were wonderful, but I didn't manage one that also had an interesting foreground. I had my tripod and took several sets of bracketed exposures, thinking to combine one exposure for the sky with another shot exposed for the foreground. The general idea worked, but I need to finesse my Photoshop skills more (or just spend more time on it) in order to get them stitched together to my satisfaction.
This silhouette is not as interesting, but it didn't need much post production work.
