Improving my photography 300% in one year - Day 1

I am joining an effort to try to improve my photography by 300% as suggested by Scott Bourne. The steps he recommends are listed below:

• Take at least 1 photo every day.
• Read at least 1 page in my camera manual every day.
• View other professional images every day.

1. I will post my photo later today.
2. Learned about my "creative zones" in my camera. Looking forward to trying my Manual Exposure mode today since I mainly shoot Av.
3. For my photo to study I selected:Landscape photos from a local Colorado Photographer George Lepp
