Hello! A new person here!

January 8th, 2011
Afternoon all!

I'm fairly new on here so thought I'd say hello.
I'm Eleanor, 26, living near Manchester (England).

I'm looking forward to having a proper browse round - hopefully seeing lots of wonderful pictures and getting to know a few people!

I attempted project 365 last year, but only got halfway through February! I'm determined to do it properly this year though!

My photography's not too wonderful, so any tips on taking better pictures (I use an Olympus mju mini) would be great!

Also, any tips on remaining focussed / motivated to snap a picture every day!


Looking forward to seeing more of wonderful 365 things soon! :) x

Welcome to the project! I don't particularly have any good tips. Just photograph what has meaning to you in your life. Also, this site is great for inspiration. If you're feeling a certain mood on a day, just type a keyword into the search bar and see what other kinds of pictures center around that feeling. I think it's a great way to get inspiration. Good luck!

Hi I'm new too and not very good at this photography lark but hoping that I will improve over the year. I have an Olympus X925 small and compact enough for my handbag or pocket. I'm still getting used to it as I keep changing shooting modes by mistake.
Hope I manage to keep the pace up too

Hi Eleanor! I'm new here too! This is my first year trying the 365 project and so far I love it and feel very motivated to do this. If I succeed and get all 365 I will reward myself by having my pictures printed into a hard cover book.

@positronicmommy I plan on doing that as well when I reach the end of my year :)

Greetings from another Eleanor! Tip and tricks? Only think about the next photo you are going to load up. Don't look at the whole year - it's overwhelming. One day at a time.
Look forward to seeing your work.

Just uploaded my newest picture! :)

Thanks for the welcomes everyone.

I love the idea about making a book at the end of the year! I may do that, if I finish it.

I'm new here, too. I love the book idea. Good luck!

I tried this project once in 2007 and only got up to February too! I'm hoping to have a proper go at it this year though. I'm keep all my photos in a special folder on my computer and may get them properly printed at the end of the year. :)
