Newbies - 10 Day Milestone

January 11th, 2011
Hi. This is a thread for all of Newbies who started on 1 Jan. How are you all going? Three questions:

1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
2) Who are you following that others should know about?
3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?

Wiet
January 11th, 2011
1) The sense of community
2) @jinximages & @clarissajohal
3)

1) Wandering in the snow looking for some great image to show the community about where I live.

2) Graham Harcombe

January 11th, 2011
1.) I think the highlight thus far is simply learning the discipline of taking my camera with me wherever I go. Learning about the times of day when certain shots are better than others. And opening my eyes and looking for things that I would probably otherwise pass by...

2.) Gosh, this is a tough one! There is so much heartfelt talent on this website right now... there are so many people I'm following right now that are amazing!

3.)
January 11th, 2011
Before I answer I gotta say I've been having so much fun with this project. I'm so glad I came across it. I'm really excited for the months to come.

1. I'd have to agree with you Wiet. The sense of community here is unlike anyplace else I've seen on the interwebs.
2. Everyone is amazing! Tough to choose! So here's one: Meta Mavec @faelwen

January 11th, 2011
1. The fantistic support and positivity of the "community". I think we could all benefit from a little more constructive criticism though. It's art and can be interperted in so many varying degrees based on perspective/experience, so we shouldn't be afraid to be offended or easy to offend.

2. http://365project.org/vikdaddy/365/2010-12, http://365project.org/lintbrush/profile, http://365project.org/landmeetswater/profile, http://365project.org/amyhughes/365, http://365project.org/amyhughes/365, http://365project.org/froirivera/profile, http://365project.org/moesinmass/profile (she's my wife). There are so many more, but these guys have shown me some very impressive material.

3. Probably "Playin' The Blues". That image developed exactly as imagined.
January 11th, 2011
Tip: If you copy the share (code) next to your favourite photo in the post reply box below then the image will show up in this thread.
January 11th, 2011
1) I really like seeing other shots and the comments that each other have. There is always something new to read.
2) @katiegc24 (just started) and @jodogz
3)

It was freezing cold at 4200 feet when I took this one. But the clouds were awesome. I would pick the sunset (on 1/5 http://365project.org/jeancarl/365/2011-01-05) but I need to get away from those easy shots!
January 11th, 2011
1) Being confident and vulnerable enough to show ME through my photography

2) Wow there are too many to list, but here are a few @amyhughes @daliadestructo @vikdaddy @worldshaker @arielmagyawejr @tashachawner

3)
January 11th, 2011
1) The "community" of it was unexpected. I thought I would slap up a pick everyday and that would pretty much be it. My experience has been positive so far, very friendly people here.
2)Well i think I am following a pretty diverse group.I would like to name them all but I am bad with names. Some names that I remember are Keith David, Jason Daniels, Candy N, & Heather F . Of course the last 2 are easy to remember, I have been learning from and with for a couple yrs now ;)
3) Favorite so far is this one, it seemed to make a few ppl laugh
January 11th, 2011
1. I just really like the feedback given! Everyone has been really encouraging. I've been wanting to do 'something for me' for the longest time and this was a great opportunity for me to do so!

2. Everyone I've been following is amazing! CHECK THEM OUT!

3. I really am happy with the pictures I've posted for the most part, but I'm still learning how to use my camera and taking what I've learned in previous photography classes and applying them. A few people mentioned they liked this one, so I'll go with it:

January 11th, 2011
I'm no longer a newbie, as I have over 100 days in the project, but I read the thread and am amazed at all of the pics above--you're all doing fabulously! Great pics, all!
January 11th, 2011
@foursides WOW!!! Thank you!
January 11th, 2011

January 11th, 2011
1. Seeing the talent that is on this website. Everyone has amazing pictures.
2. Check out who I am following. In my opinion they are all so creative in their own way.
3. I coach track and field, and haven't seen a perspective like this.....I was very pleased to say the least. The tattoo was just a bonus!!!
January 11th, 2011
1.the encouragement, motivation and sense of belongingness
2.the 8 of whom i am now following
3.i think, the portrait of my dad,since he's still coping from the untimely demise of my mom













January 11th, 2011
@hjvanriper @attraversi @attraversi @jcrowley40 @jeancarl @foursides @poggy1818 @myla @mattyb @marysybel

Thanks for sharing your POV (and pictures). Look forward to seeing all of us progress and make it through the next 355 days.
January 11th, 2011
1. I love the surprise of seeing what I will choose each day to photograph.
2.@ artsy- I love how the soft colors in all her photos make them have a vintage feel.
3. 1-9-11 marked the one year passing of a close friend. I am so proud that I was able to create something that honored her and a place that she loved so dearly.
January 11th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far? Seeing several of my friends from another forum making the popular page :) It feels like I know someone famous or something lol.

2) Who are you following that others should know about? @lvmychunkalunka she has a P&S and takes better pictures than I do with my expensive DSLR.

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken? I am only 11 days in, but todays was my first SOOC shot, and I am proud of that. Normally I do quite a bit of PP work
January 11th, 2011
1. I love all the great comments people are leaving me! And the browse & pick thread is a wonderful idea to showcase everyone's work.
2. My sister! @browndog
3.
January 11th, 2011
1) I love being "forced" to constantly come up with something to shoot. It's a challenge, but it's also fun.

2) Honestly, I don't want to leave anybody out. Every person I follow has something to offer and I learn a lot and gain inspiration from their shots. I'd follow everybody on my list if you aren't already: http://365project.org/marubozo/following

3) It's really hard to pick, but I love the warmth that comes through with this one:
January 11th, 2011
I am waking up in the morning thinking about what pictures I will take today, what will make a good subject, where is some good light. This is a good habit to build up.
January 11th, 2011
I like being challenged to take a photo each day, improve my skills, and looking for good subjects.
I am following 18 photographers. I learn a lot from Pyrrhula, Pete Van Allen, Sheri Peterson, and Bill Dodson. Sorry. I do not know how to provide their links.
My favorite photo is one that Sheri helped me with. (see my album to see the 2 versions of this photo).

January 11th, 2011
@foursides THANK YOU!!! :) I second what Amy said!! you are doing amazing and it's a huge pleasure to follow you (I especially love your self potraits) ! keep em coming! :) To everyone else on this thread you guys are doing amazing, way better than the images that I started with haha ;) good luck!
January 11th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far? Seeing all the wonderful shots taken by the really good photographers who know what they're doing so much better than I do.

2) Who are you following that others should know about? @Keith David and @Emily Hoffman

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?
This one is impossible b/c this black & white of my nephew is my favorite


BUT this one is probably my "best shot so far" & is definitely one that has recieved alot of comments both here & from friends irl as well as twiiter & facebook.
January 11th, 2011
1) Cliche with everybody else, but the people here, an the feeling of being around so many other people with the exact same interest in what your doing, and some really awesome people, who give realy good advice, its like one big family!
2) Another cliche of this, to many people to name off just one or two!
3) This is my favorite, Under the Pavillion from the 1974 WORLD FAIR...oooooh ahhh, haha
January 11th, 2011
Woop cant believe i made it this far ! certainly going to stick at it now !

1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
Probably experimenting with water shots with the kids , so much fun & i learnt a bit about my camera too doing that

2) Who are you following that others should know about?

@coolgirlsar & @kirsty1975 both girls have been an awesome help to me

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?



my 3 year old playing with water

January 11th, 2011
@wietpruim Thank you for that vote of confidence! I see lots of talented newcomers starting up Projects, yourself included--it should be a very exciting year on 365 (:
January 11th, 2011
1) The highlights have been the awesome community here and the boost this project has given my pleasure in photography. I was a bit stuck but I am really motivated to improve myself again.

2) Today I was struck by the photos of Heather Craig (@pixelchix), really lovely!

3) I like this one the best so far.


January 11th, 2011
@amyhughes @worldshaker Thank you both for the encouragement!! :D
January 11th, 2011
1) The highlights for me have been all the lovely comments and the friendliness of everyone I've spoken to so far. Also the chance to look at the photos everyone else is taking.
2) I'm following quite a few already, although I like photos that make me chuckle so karlphillipson and katiegc24 are two of my favourites, although every person I follow I've added as I loved their photos, so please take a look!
3) My favourite photo is a bit harder, but at the moment I think it's this one...
January 11th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
Capturing a 'memory' of every single day! I love trying to find something that serves as a reminder for what I did or what was important that day all while trying to improve my photography & photoshop skills.

2) Who are you following that others should know about? I honestly haven't had enough time to dive into others and follow them :) BUT of those who I am following are: rebcastillo77, tesia, aliciastacy

3) What is your favorite picture you have taken? Of my son during the snowstorm on Sunday 1/10/11:
January 11th, 2011
1) Being forced to look at things differently. In the past I've generally only taken pictures outside of nature and things like that. The bad weather at the moment combined with wanting to take a picture every day is great!
2) Ahh, can't choose... go check out who I'm following :D
3) This one of my cat :D
January 11th, 2011
1) The highlight of the experience thus far has been the consistent joy I get from making creativity a staple of every day. I really look forward to the time I spend with my camera, and the time I carve out (sometimes too much!) to look at what other people are doing.

2) I am following some amazing folks:
@travelingbabe hit her stride early with some amazing light photos
@davidstanley is a friend of mine, and spending the year traveling asia. it's wonderful seeing new parts of the world through his eyes.
@andycoleborn has a down to earth view of the world, and he's quite friendly

3) my favorite photo thus far:
January 11th, 2011
@photophil - this shot is AMAZING...I absolutely love it!!!

Many thanks for the high praise...I hope to be able to continue finding new and interesting subjects!
January 11th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
Getting to grips with my camera and steering away from auto mode has been brilliant for me. To do with the forum itself, I'm surprised what a great community it is and having someone fave one of your photos is wonderful!
2) Who are you following that others should know about?
@mrjuggles is my Hubby so I will give him a shout out as we are doing this together.
3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?
Hope I've done this right...

learning how to make pretty bokeh an making my own set up for it :) THAT actually WORKED and was rad! hehe.

2) Who are you following that others should know about?
Theres soo many amazing photographers on here... but a couple of my faves are @petervanallen @indiannie_jones and @meckimac

January 12th, 2011
I really love looking through this thread! So good to see so many keen photographers joining 365!

@wietpruim - thank you so much! Means a lot to me that you'd mention me this way!
January 12th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
the fact that this project has my passion for photograpy burning bright once again and the way that I am seeing the world as a photo op
2) Who are you following that others should know about?
http://365project.org/jaimenuske/profile ... a friend from work who was inspired to start the project when she saw me begin, her photos are wonderful
3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?



This just worked
January 12th, 2011
@jinximages not a problem - I like that you are showing us Newbies a more edgy approach to photography and that you also take time to import some lessons
January 12th, 2011
This is the one that I added for today. I appreciate the softness of it and like only really the eye being in sharp focus. It is so fun seeing pictures of life around the world!
January 12th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far? Meeting new people and getting inspiration from others work. There are some extremely talented people on this site!
2) Who are you following that others should know about? @wolfe
3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?


January 12th, 2011
@conners Thank you Katie! You have no idea how much it that you would mention me ( :
January 12th, 2011
@wolfe You're welcome! I love all your work, so I truly think people should know about you and follow you!
January 12th, 2011
1) Highlight of my experience is the wonderful support of Amazing photographers around the world!! I'm addicted to browsing all of your beautiful captures!!

2) My favorite photographer to follow so far is @Peter van Allen ..... His work is always artistic and stunning!!

3) Looking at the calendar perspective of my 365 challenge....the end of my key rack seems to be my favorite this morning!

I welcome new friends to follow!! I'm loving learning new ideas and uplifting everyone's work!!!


January 12th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
2) Who are you following that others should know about?
3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?

1) All the inspiration!! So many awesome photos!
2) Wish I had more time to go through all the photos but so far have been following: Peter Van Allen / petervanallen
Paula Fontanini / bluemoon
Dalia ElMaghraby / daliadestructo
Brandy / notsoaverage
Rebecca Santin / remember_me

3)That's hard because I like different pictures for different reasons.
I guess this one because I love to be outside with my camera. Especially at sunset!



Thanks! Love being here!!


January 12th, 2011
1) Highlight have been getting so much of inspiration from different photographers. Also putting much emphasis on still life rather than landscape which i have been doing earlier.

2) I have been following couple of people now and all have there own style, so would request to see them all.

3) My favorite in 365 would be

January 12th, 2011
@wietpruim
1) the highlight is seeing if I can think out of the box for photos. and seeing the comments and a I'm hopeful for the the picking of one my photos for a theme.
2) I have been following a few of my Football fan Dan shelley (funktography) Kishna woo-hare (kish) and Candy Padilla (candycane1973)
3)

January 12th, 2011
I love that this project has given me a goal to work towards, that makes me pick up my camera every single day, and think creatively even when Im not in the mood. Ive already learned new things, and its great how everyone is so friendly and encouraging. Its hard to pick a favorite photo so far, I like a lot about most, and dont like at least one thing about them all (I also cant figure out how to post a photo in the discussions) :(
January 12th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
I think just being pushed to take a picture everyday is great and I have been inspired to do new things with photography to come up with some great shots. Not just taking pictures of my ADORABLE kiddos.

2) Who are you following that others should know about? Both of the gals that I am following right now are Amazing. Go check them out.

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?
I am saying this one even though some of the pictures of my kids are more my favorite. This one is just a cool shot from an Idea I got off Pioneer woman's Blog. It was fun to take and pushed my imagination to take it.

January 12th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
Remembering how much I love taking pictures. It allows you to tap into your creativity and it makes you look at the world in a different way.

2) Who are you following that others should know about?
I think that everyone I am following has great potential and a creative eye.

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?

Favorite because it was spontaneously captured on my phone and with a little editing turned out really well.
January 12th, 2011
@ladybeetle to post a photo, select the photo and then on the lower right hand of the screen there's a 'share' option with the code. Just highlight, copy, and paste into the DB.
January 12th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far? I am loving having an outlet and putting my creativity to use, and being challenged to do something everyday. I am a SAHM and it's nice to have something to do that is for me.

2) Who are you following that others should know about?

@marydreams


3) What is your favourite picture you have taken? This is hard because I am my worst critic, buuuutt I guess this one


January 12th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
i've had my camera for a few months, but last night, because of the chatter about different things on this site, i was brave enough to start messing around with some of the settings and shoot things in manual...i dont know that i would have done that without the conversations here.

2) Who are you following that others should know about?
i am following a few different people who are teaching me a lot about the way i shoot & what i could do differently. i cant choose a favorite.

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?
i think this photo is my favorite because of the way the light and dark are creeping in in the corners, kind of emphesizing the message on the pin.


January 12th, 2011
@lvmychunkalunka Thank you so much for mentioning me!
January 12th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far? The highlight so far is just seeing what I capture everyday. Also, getting great ideas from others.

2) Who are you following that others should know about?
I really enjoy following @coolgirlsar @bradsworld and @canaro.

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken? This is my favorite so far. I just can't stop looking at it!
January 12th, 2011
12 days and still going!

1) Highlight so far has been seeing all the talent on here and being forced to look at the world in a different way. :)
2) @electricwriter @sharonlowe @zanettie @naomi @parisouailleurs @ellida
3) This is probably my favourite still, just because I love the newborn lambs so much!
January 12th, 2011
I am by no stretch of the imagination good at photography, but it is something that I enjoy so I really don't care about the skill.


I've enjoyed how all my friends and family have encouraged me by trying to share some inspiration. So far they all seem to think it is a good idea, but that they couldn't ever keep up with it. We'll see in a few months, because if I can keep up with it anyone can.

I haven't found many people to follow yet, but I need to start looking. Good inspiration is out there, I just need to find it.
January 12th, 2011
1) my highlight has been making time to fit in a hobby that would normally only happen in school holidays and maybe weekends. I've also enjoyed trying to find things in the house to photograph due to some pretty poor weather and me going to and coming home frm work in teh dark!

2) people to follow (in my humble opinion) @jlms11 and @rich57

3) i have two favourite pictures so far. one is the photo of Wymondham Abbey hat I have posted here and teh other is my Melted Lid Face. But you will have to find that for your self!



I would also like to comment on how freindly the site is and how much help people are willing to give to newbies like me.
January 12th, 2011
@wietpruim

1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
Carrying my camera more. So often I've seen something and thought lovely photo and because I'm carrying my camera I've actually got the shot.

2) Who are you following that others should know about?
Bluebell http://365project.org/bluebell/365 . How she gets such great photos with such a busy life amazes me.

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?
This was really hard, because my favourites are not my best photos. Even though this is not my "best" photo I just love the feeling in the photo.
http://365project.org/jess64/365/2011-01-06

Sally
January 12th, 2011
For me the highlight has been the chance to share my love of photography with so many wonderful people. The person I am following that you all should look at would be Autumn Eden. My fave picture so far is probably this one of my 3 year old son with his blocks.
January 12th, 2011
@nolovesincerer Oh, thank you :o)

1) The highlight has been looking at some fabulous, beautiful and witty photos on here and feeling inspired.
2) @nolovesincerer @gazbrad @veneziana @blueburn11 @elsz
3) My fave so far is probably this one:
January 13th, 2011
Kim
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
It's hard to pick just one highlight, so I have two.I love the kind community on this site. Everyone offers such kind words. Also, I love the challenge it has given me to think in a creative way, to pick up my camera every day. I've surprised myself:-)
2) Who are you following that others should know about?
@bethnewell-Elizabeth, and @halkia-Judith are wonderful!
3) What is your favorite picture you have taken?

January 13th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
I only started the challenge on about day 5, but the highlight has been seeing all the amazing photo's people take and that i have actually stuck to this challenge, even though i am only using an iphone....

2) Who are you following that others should know about?
@carajill @melaniep I'm enjoying the pics from these 2. I'm not following many at the moment...

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?
I LOVE this pic I have taken. I love the colours and the sparkles

January 13th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?

I used to think I took a lot of pictures, but I’m finding it’s a real challenge to take a picture every day! Looking at other people’s photos has inspired me to try harder to capture better images.


2) Who are you following that others should know about?

Bob Coffey @mrangryuk


3) What is your favorite picture you have taken?



This picture was taken with my little pocket camera. I wish it was a little clearer, but I still like it.
January 13th, 2011
This is my favorite photo I've taken since I started on the 3rd. I think the one person I've met people need to follow is deesdiscoveries. She is an incredible photographer. I've seen her pictures outside of this site and they are amazing. What I love most about doing this is thinking outside the box. It's challenging to find a photo...and intimidating as well. You want to take a good shot, but sometimes what you think works in your head...doesn't come across thru the lense. Then there is the 'eh..I'll just take it type picture..and WOW...it comes out beautiful. I am so glad I took the challenge to do this..the good, bad and ugly of photography!




January 13th, 2011
I am enjoying the project so far... I really like to take a critical look at life as it goes by capturing the precious moments around me...
My fave photo

January 13th, 2011
I'm spending more time looking around me for the "perfect shot to portray the day"

I haven't started following anyone yet..

This is def. a favorite so far:
January 13th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
I'm trying to expand my mind by looking at things from a different point of view - sometimes, it seems that we are becoming more polarized in our thoughts, so it has been good (and challenging) for me to think about seeing something differently, or reflecting on a different perspective and coming up with a corresponding picture.

2) Who are you following that others should know about?
A photo by Shannon Pitton is the one that got me started, and I continue to enjoy seeing what she is doing.

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?
I still really like my first photo for the angles and different perspective...


January 13th, 2011
1. So far, the highlight of my experience is that I am more confident with my work because I've realized that no matter how uninspired or seemingly bland my picture is, someone out there will like it (hopefully) and realizing that I'm only getting better (:
2. I'm following a bunch of lovely photographers. Check em out.
3. I couldn't decide between two, but this one is from today (January 12) and I could say it's one of my favorites:
January 13th, 2011
HI there

i have found this really challenging, but really enjoyable! I am only using my Samsung Galaxy phone and find that I am constantly looking at my day to see what will best represent it! The highlight has been the encouragement I have recieved from others to complete this.

My favourite picture I have taken so far is one I took of my grandson as he was drawing for me. It may not be the best photo but it's my fave!

January 13th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
The highlight for me has breaking my previous project365 attempts! I don't think I've ever gotten past day 5 before.

2) Who are you following that others should know about?

He takes great photos and has even more on his DeviantArt account.

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?

Nothing amazing, but I'm fond of this one.
January 13th, 2011
1) Highlight; Challenging myself to think about what inspires me.
2) @bethnewell and @bprward
3) I never do self portraits and I want to challenge myself to do more. I love how I captured my emotion for the day in this one :)

1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far? The highlight for me has been getting a chance to view all the beautiful photos and reading the posts from people. But especially getting feedback with others (even when you know they're just being nice - because sometimes that's when you need it most!).

2) Who are you following that others should know about?
I follow some who have been around a while and whose pictures are always great and who have many other followers. But I also follow some newbies who are extremely talented. @slmatntwi @marklevi @brittanytrappe are just a few.

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?

Hi! I started on the 2nd so I hope I still count! :)

1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
It's been fun snapping a picture every day, I've tried to find some different things around the house. :)
2) Who are you following that others should know about?
Well I love everyone I'm following, but this one sticks out at me this second:

@alisongbradshaw because I love her photos from Dirty Dancing! :)

January 13th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
I am absolutely loving this project. I've always enjoyed taking pictures and I practically rape my friend's walls on Facebook with all the pictures that I post up XD

2) Who are you following that others should know about?
I only have one person on here that I'm following but she's about to give up so I guess I'll be friendless. /sad face...

3) What is your favorite picture you have taken?
This one took me more effort then the others but I'm really pleased with the background, the lighting (the flare of sunlight in the top right), the stray dog and the angle.
January 13th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
Using my camera *everyday* for leisure, not work!

2) Who are you following that others should know about?
No one, but I probably should...though 3 kids and work keep me pretty busy.

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?
I think today's or yesterday's are my favorite...hard to pick... (here's today's)

January 13th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
The highlight has probably been getting inspired to go out and explore the world with a lens. And although I haven't gotten a great deal of feedback (from people I don't know), I'm finding it to be really gratifying looking back on my collection.

2) Who are you following that others should know about?
@lauren211 ; I don't know her at all, but all her photographs are incredible.
@timinozi ; I'm not biased because he's my boyfriend, all his photos are really amazing.

Right this second I'd probably say this one, but it changes all the time.

OH HOW DO YOU ADD A PHOTO TO DISCUSSIONS???
January 13th, 2011
I have enjoyed these first two weeks. I decided to capture the people in my life, so at the moment I am just taking snaps. However, itives me an excuse for a social life. When nothing else is happening, I have my grandchildren to fall back on. One of my favourite shots is my grandson Hudson.
January 13th, 2011
@hols128 I'm so flattered! Thanks so much for the recognition, you made my day :)

January 13th, 2011
@nanascraps Thank you so much!

1- For me the highlight of the experience has been using my camera everyday and knowing that the need for new picture to post can really create wonders.

2- Seeing other people's projects on the site has given me a lot of inspiration. Take a look at the list of people I follow for great photos. Can't really recommend specific ones, they're all great.

3- So far, I guess this is my favorite picture, also my first:

1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
2) Who are you following that others should know about?
3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?

1) Just 'seeing' the world around me through different eyes, trying to capture and looking at the amazing work here on 365! I feel so little compared but I am learning and will improve.
2) I'm just going to start following everyone on this list! Look at my list there are some great photographers that I have bumped into
3) here it is, my uploads are part diary and part learning to get off auto. Not a day has passed yet where I haven't tried, even hungover on NY day :)


January 13th, 2011
I didn't actually start on the first but I played catch up before I realized what this site is about. So I left it as is:

1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far? I would have to say it has been trying to stick to the commitment to be inspired about capturing SOMETIHNG daily. That has been a real challenge for me that I have not always mastered unfortunately :( However my purpose in the future is to do better with it!
2) Who are you following that others should know about? I would definitely have to say two of my very favorite are @amyhughes and @kellyhaysley they both so inspire me and put out excellent work!!!
3) What is your favourite picture you have taken? This is my fave so far:



January 13th, 2011

January 13th, 2011
#1 How unbelievably nice and helpful everyone is on this site! wow.
#2 @jbakerphoto & @amyhughes && @heatherfriedman
#3 I just love the color in this one!
January 13th, 2011
i'm not trying to do anything special. i'm far from a photographer and i don't aspire to be one. i just have a hard time committing to things so i figure documenting my day to day life is a good way to start. all my pictures are taken on my camera phone. i have a camera, i just like my camera phone. it's always with me and i can snap a picture any time i want. i love all my pictures. they give a little insight into who i am.
January 13th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far? I find myself seeing a great picture where I never would have thought to take a picture before! I love it!

2) Who are you following that others should know about? @KeonaliHutley I love her photos!

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?


This was my first pic. Not something I would normally take a pic of but I think it turned out really good!
January 13th, 2011
I joined on Jan. 7th. I almost always have a camera with me and take photos on a fairly regular basis. 1. The highlight is this has made me brave the cold weather to go outside on photo adventures. 2. @jinximages @heesc They are the first to catch my eye when I joined and I aspire to learn how to make photos like theirs. 3. This is my favorite photo from those I've taken for this project so far.

January 13th, 2011
1) What has been the highlight of the experience so far?
--I'd have to say finding the right angle and shot of an object, person, place, etc.

2) Who are you following that others should know about?
--I don't have many followers. I honestly don't have an answer for this.

3) What is your favourite picture you have taken?

I started a few days into 2011, actually, but I'm having a blast. So far, by total accident, I have only taken photos of vehicles! Seemed as good a theme as any.

My favorite shot was actually the only one I took on an iPhone, even though I really prefer a camera with better resolution!

@beautyfly2010
Are those game pieces from Carcassonne?
January 13th, 2011
I started just a few days after the 1st - however I am finding it awesome! The hardest thing is remembering to take images every day though. Finding the random and weird is hard :)



All the people I am following have awesome images - I can't pick just one....
January 14th, 2011
The fact that it's made me rediscover my absolute love for being behind my viewfinder.

Everyone I'm following is outstanding in their own way, and I'm sure there are hundreds more waiting to be discovered. . Since I can't namecheck everyone, I have to mention the lovely and inspirational @indiannie_jones, @amyhughes and @momeraths.
