It is amazing that this year is over already. I started with my point n shoot Cannon and graduated to my very first DSLR. That was the start of the Camera Settings Challenge. I learned how to do those settings (still learning of course)
The middle of my final photo and was actually the last photo I took was the people. This is not about photos, it is about learning, support, and it is about YOU. Whoever you are right now readying this - it is because of your support, encouragement, suggestions, teachings, fav's, and just being there that makes this so much fun!
Please note, I could only get a handful of people in the collage. There are tons more people I should have added!!
THANK YOU - to YOU - ALL my 365 project community!!
(This is also an answer to my Get-Pushed challenge for this week from Richard which was "365"
@richwood Thank you for knowing that it was my 365 Project End Year One and giving me the Get Pushed Challenge of 365!!!
I may do another shot for the challenge. I hope you like it.
I feel special :) It's been a pleasure seeing your amazing talent emerge Kathy. You got very creative and inspired me. You should be proud of your project.
Wonderful and congratulations! You have learned quite a bit in one year. I would never guess that you just got started a year ago. I'm so excited that you'll continue. I really enjoy your shots.
Thrilled that you are continuing and very fitting that you should be an inspiration today on your last day for someone that is just starting today!You have an amazing talent that I am sure will only get better! Congratulations, girlfriend!!!
Kathy, super job, and what an accomplishment. You have done very well. My sentiments exactly re: the support on here. It is great! I was happy to be a part of your first year.
Wowie wow!! Congratulations. You were my very first follower when I joined and I cannot tell you how thrilled that made me. Thanks for sharing in this journey with me.
Congratulations! I already congratulated you before, but I guess some counter didn't work correct that day. Nice composition. You made such achievements! Even with my fourth dSLR I never got a photo in the top20! I hope you will never forgot all you learned this year. And keep enjoying it!
@djepie Thank you so much! I have learned a lot from you. If you noticed something you pointed it out and I always knew your suggestions were made in the spirit of helping me learn and improve. Your photography is amazing. I am glad we are on facebook so I will be able to see your photos and communicate questions/suggestions about photography after you have completed your project.

@hjbenson Thank you so much - I wasn't all that thrilled, I wished I could have done a better final photo but just didn't have the time. I do plan on continuing and I will do whatever I can to make sure CSC continues.
@vase Thank you so much Carla. I don't think I am ready to stop - I don't think I will always take a photo a day - sometimes it will be a series of photos that will be added to other days. But I look at my photos and I have improved and grown I know there is so much more to learn.

@tara11 Thank you Tara (one of my favorite names by the way) I really wanted to learn - the amount of money I had to scrape up to buy that camera was way too much to not learn how to use it properly. I still have so much more to learn.
@marilyn Thank you so much Marilyn - you are one of the extra special people on 365! You have always been there and that means a lot to me.
@simon0128 Thank you so much Simon - I know I've learned a lot - I needed to since when I started I knew so little but I knew I loved taking pictures. Now I try to take photos.

Get your wife hooked on photography too! hint hint
@nadaa Wow thank you so much!!!! You have always been so kind!
I plan to continue. I know I won't always do exactly a photo a day but I want to keep learning. I especially love the people on this site -
Aww! Kathy, I am so touched by that ! I see you as only contributing more than you get always on this site! You have provided inspiration to lots of people including me! Keep it up!
Huge congratulations, Kathy!! Great collage as a way to celebrate, and a lot of great images too! I've always appreciated how you shared what you figured out as you went so that others could learn more too. Way to go! Will we see you back for year two?
Feeling immensely happy for you, congratulations on finishing your 365! I reckon I have faved most of those pictures in your collage, fabulous way to send off your last shot
And a big thank you right back, I am so pleased you started up the camera settings challenge & it's great to see it going strong. Wish you all the best & see you soon
Congratulations on finishing, and what a fab photo to finish year one! I love the education and friendship of this site. I see me in the middle! Thanks :) Fav
as usual, this is the late vikki summerfield. hahaha! congratulations, my friend. i'm so honoured to have witnessed your photographic progression. it seems not so long ago when you would post two versions of a shot and asking us for comments on which is the better version. and now you're given a challenge and you deliver your kick-ass responses with more self-confidence not to mention that your artistic instincts have actually surfaced with each kick-ass shot. continue with the great work, my friend, i'm watching and getting inspiration from you, and i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one. bravo! again, congratulations.
wow! Congrats! It must have been a wonderful year, I followed your work and it's creative and inspiring. Great collage as a way to celebrate the end of your project. Looking forward to seeing more creative shots in the future.
We are set to be "Get Pushed" partners again. However, I see you've finished your 365 project (congratulations). Please let me know if you plan on participating in this weeks' challenge so I can find a challenge for you.
this is awesome! congrats on the year... and btw, thank you so much for starting and watching over those camera setting challenges... they are a ton of fun and really really helpful!

Great! For your push, I would like you to take a self portrait, without photographing yourself. Who are you? What makes you you?
