This is my 2nd year as a 365er. The improvement in my photography and my understanding of it have been largely due to joining in challenges from the 365 community during the past six months. I have enjoyed the camaraderie and encouragement of my followers and it's true for me that giving and gaining are in equal measures. My year is roughly spent in two locations NE England and SW France, although 2013 has also featured a wonderful 8 weeks in Australia and NZ with many glorious photo opportunities.
