Default "How you doin' ?" - Then and Now

Here's another way we can see how DPS members are doing - and how you've done so far. Compare yourself to yourself, posting something old and something new. They can be the same subject, but mainly add anything with time in between the taking. Adding the span of time makes it more interesting.

This idea comes from a member who just wants to see the thread get started, without being in the limelight. Thanks for the suggestion, ____________.

From basselal: additional information is welcome - EXIF, a brief view of what you feel you've improved, and how you did it.

I like the idea of this thread a lot. I will try to find something interesting when I get home from work.

In the mean time, a request that I feel I and many others will benefit from is posting the shot info (camera, f stop...etc) and the poster is willing maybe a little comment about what kind of personal progress they make (I mean what was wrong in the old photo that they learned since then and applied in the new)...

Looking forward to seeing more of these.

I'd like to think there's been some improvement, especially with my portrait shots. I'm really looking forward to catching up with my project shots since those were the biggest help in improving the portraits.
