Day 3.6.5. - The End

Well, it's been fun, guys.  I think all of the participants have grown a lot during this photo-a-day project.  I know my own photography has really matured, this year.  One thing I really learned about myself was that I enjoy people and portrait photography.  People in the frame make me happy :)  Thanks to everyone who has participated in and enjoyed this blog.  Happy New Year!

P.S.  I'll have a "favorites" post coming soon, so check back in a couple days.  I will continue posting to my normal blog, and this blog will continue to stand, untouched, but I will not continue Project 365 a second year.

Warning: Nerdy photographer gear speak ahead!
Nikon Nikkor 35-70 f/2.8 (used). It is super awesome to have f/2.8 in a zooming package.It has great bokeh, and blurs the background really well.
Unlike the bad bokeh of my 50mm. See the sharp-edged circles:
It was made for film, so on a digital crop sensor it is a really weird focal length, approx. 50-100mm. That's around what I use most, so I don't mind it.
It also has a nifty macro mode that delivers a 1:4 macro ratio. Again, the awesome background blurring:
