Project 365?

Anyone thought about doing this? I'm going to start it Jan 1st. I think it's a really neat idea that I've seen many people have done. It's basically take/upload a photo every day.

Since photography is my number one passion/hobby I want to do it more than I'd like. Also I think it will be neat to look back on each day.

I'm probably too optimistic to think about the "hassle" of finding a shot every day. But I just want more of a reason to pick up my camera and use it.

Yah...it's a great idea. I've seen some peeps who have done it...some if their shots were really good. Most of the others...not so much.

Did you stick with 365 photos for each day? How was your experience?

Some people have suggested to update it weekly. Meaning take a photo every day but on the weekend that's when you can curate through. Some people don't have time during the weekday to focus on editing/uploading. I would need a really good workflow if I want to keep this up for 365.

I was pretty diligent about doing it everyday but I think I missed one or two which I followed up with doing two the day after. It's an interesting experiment in keeping your eyes open for the 'little things' that you wouldn't otherwise pay attention to . There were some days where there was nothing interesting going on so "here's a picture of what I had for lunch"

A photographer friend of mine did this a couple years back. In the end he even paid to have himself a book made to keep of the expierence. It was really cool seeing him post the new photos each day. His lives in NY so there was a lot of street photography in it but he also tried to plan some shoots as well even if they were just little things of objects at his house.

I personally love attention to detail it would bring but know I don't have the ability to stick with it. I have thought in the past of trying to do it as a once a week thing and at least having 52 photos to look back on of the year past.

I think that's a great idea. If I follow through for the whole 365 I think I'll pay to convert all my pictures into a book album. It will be really cool to see all the shots I had throughout the year.

Just signed up for Project 365. Photography is my #1 hobby but I admit that I don`t take enough pictures. Hopefully this will get me to take better pics.

Is there an actual site that you signed up on?

I started mine today and hoping to not lose motivation along the way.

Oh ok. I just joined a couple of 365 Flickr group and on Reddit. I decided to skip Facebook and Instagram to keep it simple.

I might sign up, this is a good way to get out and shoot more. The only issue I have is that it's cold AF here and hard to get out and do stuff.
