Weekly Poll: Do you 365/threesixtyfive?

[velvet4269]

I started out doing threesixtyfive and fiftytwo, and am finding the same thing - I have a hard time keeping up with the once/week, but doing it daily (or sometimes 2-3/day to catch up, depending on how far behind I've fallen for whatever reason) is easier.

My sets are here

That said, I joined threesixtyfive not so much to take daily pictures of myself, but to challenge my creativity. It's difficult to come up with something different every single day, and some days, the photo really is just me holding the camera at arms length, and snapping a few shots.

And then something happened. Won't go too much into detail here, but you'll see a fourth set in my collection. I've started blogging some of those over on my LiveJournal to give a little more detail, a little more explanation. I'm updating with 2 photos/day on LiveJournal, until I get caught up (don't want to overrun my friends list).

I realized when I borrowed an acquaintence's DSLR in June that I'd discovered myself with the photography - I just didn't realize how much of me I'd find doing this.

Another threesixtyfiver here. As many others have mentioned, it's mostly about creativity, learning about lighting, and keeping photography in your mind each day. There are some pics I've taken that I like, some that I am disappointed in. There are days that make me want to quit and days where I'm brimming with ideas. At 145 days in, I am determined to make it through to the end.

Well, I am... I started threesixtyfive and have kept it running each day... We have podcasts [on iTunes - search for "threesixtyfive" you can subscribe...] We have a travelling t-shirt that is making it's way around the world, we will have our first book very shortly... We even have merchandise that you [from tomorrow] will be able to see here...so, yeah... i'm doing threesixtyfive | posting todays themed picture [yellow from Miss Chloe] as we speak - my set HERE... and here's todays.... ***Yellow***



We have an amazing bunch of really nice people doing threesixtyfive, we're keeping it small, but, if you want in... get in...

Im actually trying to do 2 365s.. One with the self portrait thing and one where I just shoot whatever comes to mind...
It is quite challenging (Im at day 26 atm) but its fun and I do want to keep going....

I started doing it on NYD last year and this year but gave up because I kept forgetting. I think next year, I will probably do it again, when I have a better phone that can remind me to take a picture!

I'd like to do the self-portrait version but I think I'd modify it and do one picture a week - I'm not self-centred enough to take that many photos of myself! Although I've automated my iSight so that it takes a photo at noon and midnight every day. If I'm sat in front of it, I guess they'll be self-portraits

I started Project 365 on January 1st of this year, like many others. It was my New Year's Resolution, and I've enjoyed it so much already. Though some days I am extremely busy or cannot find anything to shoot, I know it will be very rewarding in the end. Not only will it improve my photography, but it will be a great memorandum of a year when I look through all the photos at the end. When I've finished, I plan to create a photobook out of all the photos. My set is located here, if you're at all interested.

Good luck to all others who have undertaken this wonderful project!

I started the 365 project. I am on day 16 so far. I thought it would be harder than it is. It has helped me plan my shots more and it also makes me have to take at least one picture each day.

I keep thinking about it, but haven't started yet. One of these days....

Ditto! I think about it but haven't gotten around to it yet. I don't know why, considering I play around with my camera almost everyday. Might as well make a project out of it!

I started my 366 when I got my DSLR. I take a picture of anything a day. Some of them are just snapshots (mostly on the days I work), some are pictures that I have thought about. So far I've only missed one day, and am still trying to figure out how I managed to miss it.
