Heading into the third month of the year, the weather is improving as the days get longer, the sun stronger, and with that comes the promise of more outdoor play and better photographic opportunities. Having spent the afternoon exploring a (mostly) ruined castle, the photographs have virtually taken themselves.

We're coming to the first wall in Project 365; the novelty has worn off and taking photos has become a little tedious. Don't give up, it's such a rewarding project to do and you'll be amazed at seeing all that you've achieved at the end of the year. Keep snapping away, we all have rough weeks.

Well the weather this week has been a bit cheeky!

There I was thinking that Spring was coming and getting enthusiastic about being outdoors again, and it's turned into bitterest Winter again.

I'm not impressed!

What a marvellous week we've had! So busy with half-term activities and I've taken precisely eleventy billion photos with my dSLR. It turns out that me knackering my 18-55mm lens last weekend (I actually cried) was a blessing in disguise because the depth of field on my 28-105mm lens is so much better.

Hands up who's beginning to struggle?

This is the grey month, the month where 365 participants begin to flag. The excitement of the project has settled, the Christmas rush has finished, the snow has melted and the skies are grey. But don't give up! Pick yourself a theme for a week and stick to that. At various points throughout last year I'd do a week of 'From Where I Stand' following in the 'footsteps' (ahem) of A Kilt and A Camera. Other themes could be 'hands', 'action', 'outside', 'books', 'food', etc. Pick a theme and play with it, take interesting photos on that theme and enjoy! DON'T GIVE UP!

Starting the week with brilliant sunshine and blue skies, it would have been easy to think that Spring was on its way. Now we're ending it with 90% of the country having seen snow to some degree, and the concept of Spring is far from our minds. I'm expecting oodles of snowy pictures from you lot, and now that we've had an inch or two and have made three snowmen I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's snow stories.

Welcome to week 2 of the project 365 linky!

I was overwhelmed with how many people joined in last week; it's amazing to see so many people wanting to document their daily lives through photographs and enjoy becoming part of the 365 community! We've got a Facebook group, and now I've created a collaborative Pinterest board (if you'd like to collaborate, let me know and I'll add you).

Hello all you lovely photographers out there! Welcome to week 1 of the project 365 linky and I'm looking forward to seeing the photographic diaries of everyone who links up; this project really does turn into a community. We've already got a Facebook group, and now I've created a collaborative Pinterest board (if you'd like to collaborate, let me know and I'll add you).

As ever, this linky only works because of people linking to it and then contributing their thoughts to others' posts. (Well actually there's technical stuff I have to do to make it work, but you know what I mean!)

Project 365: A New Year

by 13 Comments

I spent the last month or so alternating between;

"NEVER, EVER AGAIN!"

and;

"But it's my thing and I won't not be able to!"

So here I am, about to enter into my third year of taking a photograph every day. I tend to take a lot more than that but to concentrate on one that is technically good is hard work; the trick is not to make your child want to shove the camera lens into the nearest mound of playdough.

There's a lot of interest in the project at the moment and so I'm going to answer some FAQs and set out some guidelines here:

  • Project 365 involves taking one photograph a day, every day, for a year. It's your project and therefore it should be youtaking the photograph.
  • The photographs can be uploaded to either a blog (daily or weekly), Instagram, Tumblr, Posterous or 365project.org (the official and original site). I've done two years of blogging it daily and I'm losing the will to live, therefore I'm going to put the images together into a weekly collage (using Picmonkey.com) and blog it on a Saturday.
  • Each weekend I run a linky for the community. The point is to share either one favourite photo of the week in the linky or, if like me it's going to be a weekly collage, then the link to that round-up post. It is possible to link up Instagram images by finding the web version and using that URL. The linky can be found over on the 365 tab of my blog. It opens at 8pm on a Saturday evening and closes at 11.59 on Sunday night.
  • I ask that you include my 365 badge onto either the linked blog post or in a sidebar wherever the pictures are hosted (if possible). Not because I'm precious and want the information spread around, but because it means that people can find the linky more easily to see other entries and join in on the community.
  • There is a Facebook group here, it's private and you'll need to request access. As long as it's obvious to me that you're taking part in the project then you're in!
  • There's also a collaborative Pinterest board I've set up to share images. If you'd like to join then please let me know.

Here's the badge for the project, you can find the html code underneath in a nifty box thing done by Mr. TBaM.

See you on Saturday!

A Photographic Flashback of 2012 (Linky)

by 36 Comments

The idea came to me when I was looking back over my photographs from Project 366, each week I have been asking the participants to pick a favourite photo from the week, and when it's only one photo out of seven then that's relatively simple. However, what if you had to pick just one photo from the whole month? One photograph from (an average of) 30 days?

And so last night I spent hours carefully selecting my favourite twelve photographs of the year, here they are:

I'd love it if you would join in?

Pick one photograph from each month throughout the year and create a collage, then link up below. You don't have to have been taking part in the 366 photography project to take part in this, everyone is welcome! The linky will stay open until Friday 4th January 2013 at midnight.
