Project 365: The Decision
I had already thought about it but browsing The Designed‘s post 20 Inspiring Project 365 Portfolios made me really want to try. I was going to start on 1st of January, I already took a photo that day, but then on 2nd of January I totally forgot to pick up my camera! It doesn’t matter which day you’ll start but of course it would be easier to keep track if you could finish the project at the end of the year.
It’s 4th of January and I’ve taken a photo each day except on the 2nd so I could set my project to start on 10/01/01 but I don’t want to play hooky right in the beginning.
Without thinking about it more, I’m setting my Project 365 to start on 3rd of January (yesterday). Overall learning (lighting, composing, techniques, photo enhancement) and trying new things will be my project objectives. I will try to do more than just snap shots each day but if I don’t find time for anything else, I will settle for one. Probably I won’t publish all my 365 photos on Sipping Designs but I will be posting them in Flickr. I’m tagging all related blog posts with Project 365 tag.
I will start posting photos tomorrow because my yesterday’s photo is still in development.
This would have been my 1/365 on 1st of January (taken with Nikon D80 and Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR)
Project 365 is a year long project and the aim is to take one photo (straight out of the camera or manipulated) each day. There are no universally set rules but usually you are allowed to post the day’s photo afterwards (many things can delay the process) and it’s not death serious if you miss a day. The purpose is to learn something, not to cause nervous breakdowns. If you are interested in other people’s project, Flickr is a great place to start looking.
