So i think we all know that January brings about a lot of new comers to the community. MY questions for you is, how many of those new comers have attempted the project before? I myself, have tried and failed. But I promised myself that this time would be different. Starting January 1st I have kept my photo diary up which has been hard because I am a full time University student. So if you have tried the project before, let me know and say how many times. For me, this is my third attempt. It is embarrassing but true. I want to finish this time and watch my photography skills develop. I want to know if I am alone with this, or not. For anyone who has had to restart- don't give up!
This is my first attempt, but I will be very surprised if I make it to 365. I have been on Christmas break, so before today it was easy. Today was back to work before the student's arrive. Today was not as easy. Even if I don't make it every day I am going to try hard. Welcome back and good luck. Third time just may be a charm for you.
this is actually my 4th attempt...and my 3rd account...
my first attempt was in 2010- fail
then i completed 2011
started 2012- fail...i got pregnant and just lost all mojo for taking pictures
(my 2011 and 12 attempt are over at http://365project.org/dkg/365 however, i don't think i'll be posting much there at all anymore)
so now i'm back to chronicle my baby girl...so my project for now actually starts on 12/20/12
also, i got photoshop for christmas, and hope to learn how to use it during this project....
I tried back in 2011, I'm determined to see it to the end this time. I'm feeling very enthusiastic, I feel like I've learned a lot about photography between then and now. I also want to remember not to feel bad about using fillers now and then. Life is busy, things happen. I don't want to pressure myself too much, what fun is that?
I'm a third timer too...failed back in 2010 and 2011. Am determined to make this year the year! I started about a month before Jan 1 so I got to see all the "I finished!" shots for last year's projects and it totally motivated me! I want to post a shot like that myself this year!
What advice do you have for those of us just starting, based on your experiences? So that we might have a better chance at seeing it through the year? I can already see the difference between the holiday break and work gearing up again.
@lolanae@shyanewiegs I am right along with Brandie! I did complete year 1, was hit or miss on year 2, and now I am back for year 3. I just love the learning curve on this site and the community of talented people willing to share great techniques and ideas!
I still have yet to hit 365 pics and have been going for over 2 years now, so close. Perhaps one year I will actually try to get the project done in 365 consecutive days.
Started in the middle of 2010 & got really enthusiastic that I opted to be an Ace member & did 3 albums all at the same time. Completed all 3 albums in 2011 & halfway through 2012 decided to have rest as it had become so demanding, so time consuming...
Around October I decided to try again but with just one album but I still found it hard to post a photo everyday...I do still take a lot of photos but not everyday...one day I might have so many opportunities but another day might be so blank...oh well I am still here.
I tried before in 2010. Made it almost a month. But I was trying to only use my Nikon, and that just wasn't possible with work an such. So now I am using that or my IPhone. Makes it easier to get a photo everyday. Fingers crossed I will make it through this time!
This time is my second attempt. I failed last year at day 26 or so. My problem was the work and time I put on every single picture. It was complicated and I could only upload on my main pc. Now, I have a portable tablet and a EyeFi-SD card on camera and always active internet connection with me. Also I dont use RAW only, but ooc JPEG for quick and dirty. That makes it much easier. Also this site motivates me and upload is a bit easier than using wordpress.
First attempt and 10 days in I know it's not going to be easy but I'm going to give my best shot at doing 365, and if I get a few good images then its been worth while :) good luck to everyone in the coming year
