First Image of 2009

With everyone getting new bodies, I think that separate section for you to proudly display your first image from your new acquisition is in order.

This applies to brand new bodies, as well as bodies that are simply newly acquired by you.

First Image of 2009

Postby ATJ on Thu Jan 01, 2009 10:22 am

I thought it might be fun for people to post the very first image they took in 2009. It won't necessarily be the best image, but it has to be the very first image taken after 0:00 on 01/01/2009.

Here's mine. I took some better shots after this one and this one could have been better composed, but it's the first one so I'm stuck with it.

So... post your first images here...

I am working off the fact that I must have forgotten to adjust the time on my camera, so my first shot after 11.00pm (according to EXIF) is:

Unfortunately this is not a great picture!

Agreed, I am finding macrophotography very frustrating to learn. Moreso when I see Andrews amazing shots.

Edit: and here is the first shot of 2009. Thankfully they got better once I turned AF back on. Too many Coronas :-)

Awesome shot Gerry!!!


ya reckon? I was kinda disppointed with this one, the first fireworks are the ones to get I reckon, towards the end all that smoke makes it murky and fugly.... hey theres an idea, a 4 million dollars a pop these things should be carbon neutral - i expect smoke-less fireworks next year.... :roll:

yeah, clear skies, and three sets of recognizable fireworks!! Just a tad over exposed on them but otherwise very nice.

biggerry. Great capture. I am still to take a picture yet as my first for 2009. Fell asleep (passed out) call it what you will at about 11.45pm after helping the brother in-law devour a cocktail or two as he saw an opportunity to practice his new training.

Probably could not focus much yesterday (even with Auto Focus) as most of the day the light was to bright and things seemed blurry.

Nice work though.
