DAY 365!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 31-12-10 by naomi

DAY 365!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 31-12-10

WOW! Well, I certainly never, ever thought I'd make it this far! This photo is a collage of 4 shots but each shot is SOOC minus crop. I've never successfully managed to do light trails before but had 3 very enthusiastic boys, a tripod and a dark bathroom so it was all systems go!

What a year it's been! This year began snowy and cold with revision and snow days, I went on to do my January exams then massively stress about coursework but get through it, have a fun half term with my Granddad in February, then back to school again another school production, more school, then it was Easter where I went to Spring Harvest and began revising for my exams! Revision went on until June, when I finished my GCSEs (YAY!) and spent a few weeks working at a Primary school which I absolutely loved. Straight after this I went to New York City and then travelled around America for a week which was an amazing experience. Then I had a fantastic summer with a highlight being my GCSE results which I was over the moon about! Then I began 6th form in September when a lot of things changed, which hasn't been easy, but hey, we get through each day as it comes! October half term brought more revision, November brought another fantastic school production and some more snow days! Then December with Christmas bokeh and more snow! And now I'm revising again :p

This year has had so many ups and downs but photography has got me through! I just want to thank you all (again :p) so much for your continued support and encouragement which I honestly appreciate from the bottom of my heart, you're all amazing and I hope to see you next year!

Feeling very...odd right now xD Almost like an 'old hand' at this seeing all the new people join up when I've completed a year, yet I still have so much to learn and so many more photographs to take! It feels like I've moved out of reception and into year 1, almost :p I have learned so much this year and will hopefully continue to do so! I think I might splash out and treat myself to a book of all my pictures even though it's expensive...so it'll be fun to put that all together and look back on the year!

So...tomorrow I will start again! (I hope ;]) And possibly persuade my brother to start too! I need to decide if I'm going to do my titles differently...or anything else for that matter! I hope you've all had a fantastic 2010, here's to 2011!!!!! :)
Ok firstly; "3 very enthusiastic boys, a tripod and a dark bathroom" haha what a great sentence :p

Secondly, congrats, nice one, well done for finishing, and well done for getting a light painting photo done! :)

Well done Naomi. I've only just started following you but I have looked at all your photos and you have done an amazing job, not only with your photos but also with your schooling and your life. You certainly cram a lot into every day and I have enjoyed being part of all that.

Well done on completing your first year of the project and with such a good photo too. I look forward to following you for another year.

Congratulations on completing your first project 365. I just completed mine as well and I did put mine into a book which I have to say is a beautiful reward to yourself for having been that dedicated and to see how you have grown in photography. Looking forward to seeing you in 2011 when we will both be back for round 2 :)
