Hi All! I am new to this site today and am excited to have found it! I have been a hobbyist photographer for over a year and am still working on my techniques, etc. My pictures usually revolve around my children and other children. However, beginning yesterday, I have started my 365 project. I was just wondering if any of you have tried, completed or wanted to try one? Basically take one picture a day for a year with hopes of major improvement. I know I will need some motivation and encouragement! Anyway, I look forward to sharing my pics and seeing all of yours!

It's a great idea, go for it!! I follow someone on Twitter who's doing this and I think it really does a few things... 1) it gives me as a follower something to look forward to every day, and 2) I believe it gets you motivated to go out there and PRACTICE every day. They say that practice makes perfect and me personally, I learn by trial and error. Good luck and please post where you are planning on hosting these so some of us can follow?

365 is a fun project IF you can keep up with it!
![]() I tried twice and failed both times half way through the year. So then I attempted to do a 52 weeks project, and thats was much easier to keep up on. To look back at all the photos is very rewarding! It's nice to see the captures of forgotten moments and to see the progress in your skills along the way.

Being at almost day 300 of my 365, I can safely say that while some days show progress, other days show sheer, abject laziness on my part. But sometimes that's all I can manage is a quick shot with a phone or whatever. It's a huge commitment as has been said. Good luck with yours!

Never tried it, but I think if I do something like that it will be as stella suggested, a 52 week project, good luck on your 365 and welcome.

I started a 365 in January, but only made it half way through the year - I caught a major case of winter duldrums and lost interest. Also, I discovered PS, and found I couldn't make the commitment to photographing and pp-ing every day..
Slacker!I am thinking I might try a 52 project in the new year. Best of luck.
