Take and post a pic a day for a year
Permalink  

I half-heartedly entered myself in to a pic-a-day for a year challenge. It's not a contest or anything like that, just motivation to take some kind of photo every day.

It may get old quick, but I know it will be good for me to try to get better at watching for things to shoot, and different ways to shoot them.

So far, I'm 3 for 3!

Day 1: Saturday was the boy's feet in the snow:

Day 2: Yesterday was my Kindle with the front page of a book on photography exposure:

Day 3: Today's is pretty lame, but hey, it's a photo. Bunny tracks in the snow:

What will tomorrow bring? Who knows.

That'll be cool to look back at the pictures after a year and see what kind of story they tell.

I just hope there is some kind of story - lol

If nothing, I hope to start to see improvement in creativity in skilz at some point.

Hm, I have my camera with me and keep saying I want to take more pics...

Did you sign up on a site for this? I think I might try it too.

It's sponsored by professional photographer named Lisa. I follow her blog at mostlylisa.com. She worked with a developer to create an iPhone photo app that she's pushing . . . which I think the app publicity is partly why she's doing it. You can use any camera, it's not about the iPhone, I think she's just using the "exposure".

The 365 challenge is at mostly365.com.

The instructions are there on the site, but all you have to do is post the photo on Twitter with a "#mostly365" tag and their site will automatically pick it up and put it on the site.

It is kinda fun to look at other people's pics and see what they are doing.

Man, I wish I had a SD card reader at work. The hardest part will be remembering to post the pic!

You might just be able to plug your camera into the computer with the right sized USB cable and transfer files over that way.?.?

t sounds interesting, but a picture a day also seems like a lot of work. I think it would get old real quick for me. Especially since it is dark when I get home and I would not be interested in going outside in the cold and weather every day. There would be a lot of stationary photos taken inside my house.

Yeah, that just means finding the cable. :/  I don't think we have one laying around here that's the right size.

I've decided to participate too.  Here's my first 3 pictures:

Hey, if people don't want to see them, they don't have to look in the thread.

But I meant, this is your thread and your project, I don't want to hijack it from you.

Probably.  It was a light supper.  The goal was just to get something in my stomach.

I know JR's been trying to do a pic a day too, mainly as a personal journal kind of thing. Maybe he'll share some of his too.?.?.?

Yeah, mine's more for a personal journal type thing than to become a better photographer. I want to look back at the end of the year and see what it looks like in pictures, what I can remember, "why'd I take a picture of that?" etc.

I took the camera out last week. Well, it went from upstairs to on the sofa downstairs anyway.

I think it is a neat idea, but I always forget to take pictures. Only took one so far this year... the aftermath of the "hillbilly skylight".

So, take a picture of another place on the ceiling (hey if you do it right none of us will know it wasn't the same spot). Then take a picture of it after your son fixed it.

There you have it - before, during and after.

Would be great if I would have taken a picture before I cleaned up some of the mess and put plywood over the hole. hmm.gif
