Genius Hour: Working Through the Process

This project has gone on long enough that it's starting to feel more like my normal routine. I'm looking for opportunities to take pictures and have my camera "at the ready" for whenever I might need it.
I've noticed that when I'm trying to learn something new on my own, I get frustrated if it doesn't click with me fast enough. I start to feel defeated because I don't have anyone readily available who I can ask questions to. I think I learn better in a group so I can listen to others and get clarification when I need it. 
I found some videos that were helpful because I learn best when I can see and hear what I'm trying to learn how to do. I'm the most successful and efficient with my learning when I focus on one small skill and try to learn about that so I don't get overwhelmed. This is especially applicable to Lightroom. There are soooo many tools and it's super intimidating to try to figure out what each of them does and how they all work together. So I'm just trying to work with one at a time and see where that gets me!
This week I worked with my remote timer since I'm going to need to use it for the "final picture" that I want to take for this project. I let my son push the button (which you can see him doing in the photo) but I do like how it turned out overall!
