We have had colder and clearer weather for a few days. No snow, but at least the sun has been visible in daytime. And there is a little bit of frost on the ground, so it is not so dark as it used to be. But nights are long and getting longer.

Darkness makes tired
For some reason I have felt tired during the last few days. Perhaps it is the darkness which hardly ceases even at noon, thanks to the thick cloud cover which never seems to go away.
Today the nominal length of the day was 6 h 24 min but it seemed much shorter. On the other hand, there are only a couple of weeks until days start to lengthen again.

PDF portfolios
Paul Butzi has generated an interesting set of PDF portfolios. I liked especially the Pacific Coast portfolios, for example Patterns.
I have started to think that perhaps it would be good to do something similar, to learn more about photography. So I went today through about 3/4 of my landscape photographs taken this year, selecting those which I thought could form a theme and be developed into a photography portfolio. I have half a dozen tentative themes, for example about water, show/ice etc. These selections currently contain 160 photographs which I thought were good enough.
As a sidenote: I think I have developed a bit as a photographer, as I noticed problems with some images I previously thought were good. Perhaps this has nothing to do with improving skills, instead it is an example of having a clearer judgement after some time has lapsed since taking the photographs.
I haven't yet thought about how to generate a PDF portfolio, but I think the same process I used for SoFoBoMo '09 would work here. The format would be a little different, not so much book-like, which would make this even simpler.
Here are two images from today, different subject, similar theme.
