Hi all,
I have had three days of feeling pretty poorly so no photos taken .... What happens to my 365 challenge ? Do I just keep going or start again on day one ??
It's up to you :-) I would just continue and fill the gaps with those beautiful pic that would otherwise not make it to 365. You sure have plenty of those!
sickness and other bad days will happen, it's part of life, and part of being a photographer. on such days, I don't mind using a fill shot, but I try to stay within 7 days of the actual exposure. it's ok to fill backwards, too, but I always try to use distinct shots for my fills, rather than minor variations of an existing shot.
Keep going and fill in the days. No need to start over. It is your project and you control it. I lost a couple days due to weather. Look forward to seeing your work.
i find that for me i try to not worry too much on getting the most amazing photos each and every day, but I take photos every day.
sometimes the easiest and best photos are ones you think are not all that amazing.
so on a sick day if you are not too achy and sore, pick up your camera and take a picture of your medicine bottles or your nest of blankets and books you are using to feel better.
making this a sort of your own person photo diary is sometimes more valuable then taking photos that others might or might not like.
don't give up.
don't be hard on yourself. post two pictures on one day and carry on. I am sure almost everyone misses a day here and there and no one hardly notices.
hope you are much better now.
Sometimes I back fill, but in November when we moved, I missed about two weeks. Was just overwhelmed and decided to leave a gap to represent my time lost as the project is ultimately just for me.
Most people fill with photos that wouldn't otherwise get posted!!
@vonniered - I've been under the weather for 4 days now; completely understand how you feel not being up-to-date. Hope you feel better soon!
I plan to go back and fill in the holes ...even if they don't match up to the monthly challenge I'm taking part in. This is a temporary set-back, that is all.
Continue on! Leave the holes! Its nice when you finish to see the memories of the year by each daily photo! The spaces are part of your year! Plus you get that many more times to post pics before #365! ;)
Feel better and go back and fill in a few at a time. I've run into the some thing, we all have bad days, so don't worry, get better and then just have fun with your camera.
