I have not been around for quite some time (16 shots)

Dear all,
I have not posted in this lovely forum more than 6 months (exception two posts the last week for film shooting).
I have decided to go and hide back to my dark wet dungeon to work my craft.
I have decided to stay in isolation to try to put things together and work the gear as much as I could.

During that time I have put my self two restrictions that I have followed up to today.
1. I could not risk family economics. No charging credits cards 1k euros in an evening. Use what you have until it breaks
2. I should not see the sun if I could not see me improving.
3. Limit forum precense and spend the time with improving my photography ability

During these months I have tried to increase my exposure to failure considerably and I am proud to report that I have failed in many different ways over and over.
Current future focus is to improve
1. my reaction time
2. time I need to shoot a scene. I should be able to shoot different scenarios and settings within few minutes only
3. increase my exposure to human beings


I try to share my experience, my failures of my trip how I found my ideas how to shoot and where over my facebook account. Pretty much is like a small trip of what I experience (if someone wants to hear about my failures and how I try to put pieces together let me know).

Thanks a lot this lovely community for all the support
Regards
Alex

Wow, that's several levels above most of the rest of us! Congratulations on making the commitment to improve in such a disciplined way and then actually following through. The effort really paid off.
