Day 1 - Let's get started

I've decided to embark upon a challenge. I'm relatively new to photography having gotten the bug from a trip to Iceland two years ago where the sights have to be seen to be believed.
In the 24 months since then I've progressed slightly by taking a one day course to get to grips with camera controls on my Canon DSLR. I've also taken a real liking to motorsport photography so don't be surprised if there are a number of shots throughout this year with a motoring theme.
The challenges for me will be to expand my interest in different subjects, be creative if I can and, last but by no means least; see if I can stick out 366 days of 2012 with a new pic each day.
Welcome to my journey :)
