10,000 Hours Deliberate Practice Learning the Art of Photography

Progress Milestones by Hour

My favourite image before starting this 10,000 hour project. I think it captures the dynamic nature of Dubrovnik in the early evening, lots of movement and a limited set of colours (due in some way to over-processing) works well. It was/ still is loved my me, but no one else

This post cross references the completion of each block of 1,000 hours with date at which it was achieved and any associated review posts
