Project 365 2014 – Week One

I am still in shock that I managed to complete last years 365.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and although most of my photo’s were taken on my trusty iPhone it did inspire me to buy a DSLR.  I am still learning how to use it and am looking forward to doing a course later in the year.
