So here you have it... Photo 365. One whole year of taking photos every day... Wow. It's certainly something I didn't think I'd manage way back in October last year when I took my first photo at Greenwich Market.
So what of my year.. well, there's been some times when it's all been a bit of a struggle, other times when I've felt in the zone and it was almost easy, but pretty much all the time, it's been a great experience and something I've thoroughly enjoyed.
I would like to pay a big thanks to Sangeeta for her support and to all of you out there who have constantly been supportive and provided some fantastic comments and great banter over the last 12 months. Thanks all :-)..
And so to today's pic.... Well... I've only just taken it as I couldn't find any time to grab a snap nor, thanks to being busy, found anywhere to pop to to grab a snap. So after getting home from my girlfriend's, I stuck a X2 converter onto my 200mmm lens and hand held (too lazy to set up the tripod), lent out my bedroom window and snapped the moon.
A decent way to end the year... See you tomorrow....
@vikdaddy@bugik@eyebrows@blightygal@rich57 Thnaks everyone... VIk, yep, I hope to carry on again for a second year (What have I let myself in for....) Rich, onwards and upwards now, spend some money and back to the premier league... Oh no,scrap that... that's how all the problems first started...lol
@andycoleborn Sheesh, when I've done a year I'm not doing another! Thankfully this project has truly given me the bug, so I will continue to do shoots often - perhaps weekly at least - but not every day!
Congratulations Andy, what a great way to finish your year. It was wonderful following you the last part of your year and I am looking forward to follow you for another. Well done.
@bugik@arlyah365@katiezrobb@farmboy9155@aikiuser@cirasj@rich57 Thanks everyone.. :-)
Rich - Didn't know you were a Leeds fan, but yep, know exactly what you've been through - probably worse in your case considering the fall Leeds have had.. All in all, it was a fantastic 7 years - 2 cup finals, 1 cup win, UEFA cup and beating that bunch from down the road 4-1 when 'Arry was their manager... great times..
Bloody good work sir! Well done. What a great one to finish with too, can't belive you did'nt even need a tripod. And fair play for keeping it going too.
Awesome! You know, I never had a problem getting a shot of the full moon with my kodak easyshare camera. With my Sony 35mm camera, I've tried many times and it just looks like a ball of light. lol One day I will get it.
congrats, well done, im finding it a challenge myself (365), but like yourself i am having good and bad days,, nice to see another south coaster..... although im down under, im still a cherrie, from the days of arry arry arry arry rednanap on the win on the win.........
Well done Andy!! A great shot to complete your set. You were my first 'follow' and I've enjoyed seeing all your pictures since January. All your ups and downs it's been good to 'know' you. Thought of you yesterday as I listened to Radio 5 news about Pompey, what a relief! Upwards and onwards x
Congrats - hope it's not too much of an anti-climax! I'm very pleased to see the last line of your text though - glad you're going to keep it up. The moon has been very special these last few days - so glad you snapped it so successfully.
I got GOOSEBUMPS, I am just so excited for you! We all know just how hard this project is but you FINISHED you actually DID it!! YIPEE!! an inspiration for the rest of us. so glad we will see you tomorrow as we would miss you....
Wow, I'm impressed. I think it will take me two years to get to 365. I've totally enjoyed following your photos and like Andrea said, glad you're carrying on because we would miss you. I was on the phone with her earlier (did you know she's my sister?) and she told me you made it to 365 and that I HAD to go on and comment. Funny how people from this site have become part of our conversations. Up the Pompey!!
@karice Thanks so much Kari.. yeah, I knew she was your sister.. funny how this flippin project becomes part of your life.. I think I bore my girlfriend with it, and my mate who goes to Pompey games with me has encouraged his wife to join... As for Pompey... onwards and upwards now...5 wins out of 6... PUP (Err... Play Up Pompey) :-)
Thank you guys.. sorry if I've missed anyone off the auto-replies but all your wonderful comments are part and parcel of what makes this such a great site and one of the main reasons why I am carrying on... :-)
Major CONGRATS on making it thru photo 365 -- what an accomplishment.
This lunar shot is gorgeous and a wonderful way to celebrate making it thru a whole year.
Congrats.....
your pic is really great too. I guess i was lucky with my moon. It is not often that hand-held gives any good results. Usually use a triopd; that day was too tired to lug it up 4 flights of stairs :-)
@pocketmouse@junebug@hayley@santoshnc Thanks guys.. Not only a 2nd year,but a 2nd album as well...! What have I let myself in for!!!
Hayley - That's a shame, but I know this can take up a lot of time... And especially in winter when it becomes harder to find decent stuff to take...
Lovely shot to mark the day with too.. enjoy tomorrow, no pressure!
Rich - Didn't know you were a Leeds fan, but yep, know exactly what you've been through - probably worse in your case considering the fall Leeds have had..

Look forward to see your next project. ^_^
Well done. We all know how hard it is -so big congrats
