Exclamation Project 365 - My first project

Hey everyone,
I had no idea where to put this post so I decided to put it here in chit-chat so I can't break any topic rules or whatnot.

Anywho, yesterday I decided to start my very first project called Project 365. As your probably already guess, I'll take a picture of a random object each day and describe how I took the shot, with what settings on my camera and what kind of lighting. I'll also be limiting my self to using just one off camera strobe. The reason I'm limiting my self is to show that with a little bit of improvising you can actually take amazing shots and that you don't need super expensive equipment.

The reason I started on this project, and the reason I am posting here, is to get people to learn something I may dig up along the way, and perhaps learn from the mistakes I will (and certainly will) make. Oh and any equipment I might make (think softbox, diffusers, cookies, etc) I'll document so others can make it them self too. At the end of the 365 days I'll be selling everything I made on eBay and donate it to some charity. It's probably not worth a lot or might not even less at all, but every little bit counts!

Hopefully I can make people enthusiastic and hopefully educate some of you thru my trial and error.

Oh and I'm starting on next Monday (16th of November) and I hope you'll read some of my posts

I've got two new entries in my project and since the project is not getting much attention yet I thought I'd update this post All I'm looking for is feedback on my posts from photographers Or perhaps you can learn something from me, who knows

So please have a look and you'll have my gratitude!
