The 365 Photo Challenge #5

I felt really sad when the 365 told me they'd be deactivating my account. I reeeeeeally wanted to do it, but life was in the way! DS didn't want the camera in his face, dd didn't care either way, but creatively, I wasn't feeling it either.

Hopefully everyone else can dig down and find their 'thing' again.... And maybe by the new year, we can all start a new project.

Swoop - I'm following your blog. Read a little bit and can certainly relate.... Australia, uk, Australia, uk....

How is your pi course going?

Belfie - your book sounds like a great idea! I keep meaning to upload my 365 to flickr every day too so that it'll stay forever, but I always forget! I'd love to make a photobook, with the captions too. And, yes, I will also make an effort with the bb-ers who are still going on the 365 project :)

Yules - Oooh, I am so excited to have a follower! I just realised that I'm possibly not allowed to actually post the link here... so I'm going back to delete it now. I'm at a complete standstill on my PI work... as you probably know from my blog, my Gran collapsed at the weekend and everything has pretty much been on hold since then. I need to get back into it though. I'm 'paused' halfway through the assignment for module 2. How are you doing/ You must be semi-pro by now??!!

Yep I read about your gran :( how are you dealing with everything??

I'm up to mod 10 but still no pro. I have a long way to go, but I can certainly work my way around the camera thanks to the course.

Here in jersey there is a fb page for mums. The chick who started it is turning it into a website, asked for a photo blogger.... So I volunteered! I thought it would get me out there looking and finding beautiful spots in jersey. My passion is taking pics of kids though, so I'm still struggling to get that done..... Apart from my own kids, which are more happy snaps rather than 'shoots'..... The blog might even enable me to get myself out there and start practicing on strangers kids...... If they contact me of course.

It's pretty rough :( We are very very close. I'm the only grandchild who has been encouraged to go to her, due to our relationship. We've had all 'those' conversations with the hospital, but at the same time she was conscious and responsive for a whole hour today. It's a horrible waiting game at the moment, and it feels weird while other real life stuff carries on at the same time.

You've done so well getting up to mod 10 already! And that photo blog sounds exciting - good on you for volunteering. I'd love to see the link when it's up and running :) Why don't you put the offer out there to a few of the mums you know to photograph their kids, then they'll tell their friends etc etc. I did my friend's newborn, and I'm just waiting for the chance to do another one, and a couple of my other friends have asked me to do their kids after seeing those photos. You could also contact some groups like dance classes, sports clubs etc and see what that leads to. Can you tell I've thought about ways into the market quite a bit?!

Yep, although I'm finished it felt like a chore at times, sometimes I reckon both DH and DS would get annoyed at my need to capture moments with my camera, but DH was also my biggest supporter and very proud when I finished. I found I got more motivated towards the end again, knowing there were only so many photos left so wanting to capture certain shots I had in my mind :)

Good Luck girls :)

(and yep, I'm an applause junkie too!!! I put myself on a self imposed facebook ban which lasted a whole 4 days because I was getting less hits on my 365 blog as I wasn't posting the link on FB hahahahahahha)

Swoop - I'm so very sorry to hear about your Gran. :hug:

Thanks - and thanks for your blog follow too :)

How is everyone going? Found your groove? lost it? Life got in the way?

I'm a little bit proud of myself at the moment. I've uploaded 300 photos. I have been so behind numerous times with the uploading (I'm still behind now but not by that many days) and could have so given up one or two times but I didn't so a little :leap: from me.

Only 65ish to go. Yay!!

Swoop - No probs. I like to read people's blogs.

I'm supposed to be done my 365, but I'm so behind that I'm still uploading october!

Heres' my upload from today. Not only did I get behind on uploading but somehow didn't manage much of any photos in october. TTC has got me in a bit of a slump :(

Hi Neda. :hello:

Good luck with catching up with your uploading. Once you're behind a heap it's hard to get back into it, well that's what I found a couple of times throughout the year.
Lovely photos you have too. :)

Thanks Jewel!
Ya I started off as only a month behind, I was too busy doing post trying to get my photos from Abbeyfest ready to submit back. Once I started catching up I realized none of my followers were commenting and thought why bother. I'd quit posting but whatever...might as well keep going *shrug* I'm trying to do at least three a day. And no more than three at a given time so that I hopefully don't spam newsfeeds too much.

well done Neda! I've seen a couple of your shots, need some time to look at more!

Afm - well only a few weeks to go. I'm looking forward to finishing I must admit. Caught up with a mountain of "picture filing" the other week - phew! My folders are now manageable again.

How is everyone else going?

I'm going okay lately actually. I'm actually liking this month cause of Christmas and I've actually got things to take photos of without having to think too much about it and it turns into a chore, if you get what I mean.
Hopefully you're all not getting sick of my christmasy inspired shots. Lol.

I also can't wait to finish it. I'm hoping to have a 365 type project for next year but something different. I dunno.

I got way off course, might start again in the new year ;)

I found you- just make sure you look for 'users' names rather than 'photo' names.

I've just signed up. My username is danicee , I'm on my phone so will find you girls on there tomorrow. I took some photos of the sun setting over the bay tonight. So will upload my fave tomorrow! Looking forward to this!!

Gah a whole page since I opened this thread earlier.

I'm joining in too this year. Learning, learning my new camera (thanks DH).
Not sure how I'll go come February but there'll be lots of opportunities.
For January I'm also joining in Fat Mum Slim's photo a day challenge.

oh and I'm darnacam.

I just signed up too :). I have no idea how to take great shots or anything, but I'm always taking pics of the kids or what ever we do. It's a great way to remember a year!

Username is Kellie (terribly original, I know!)

Oh how exciting, all these new people to follow!! :dance: I hope you all enjoy it as much as I am :)

I think I've got everyone ...

feel free to add me if I missed you - I'll "follow" you back ;)

wow, so many new folks, that's great!

Well I've just finished my project - yaaaaay. Jewel, thanks for the congrats :) :hug:
I must admit it's a relief to be finished. Don't get me wrong, I loved doing it, but sometimes I'd have 4-5 days worth of photos to get through and it felt like another chore. Now i just need to organise some photo books! tehehe.

So time for a new hobby this year I think. To everyone just starting, you'll have fun and you'll get some awesome pics!!!

All these new 365 ers are making me want to start again.... But alas! I've started a 52 week challenge this year. Good luck everyone.... For those on fb. Please link your pics there so I can watch on x

I'm doing it this year again, those on my FB can watch the insanity unfold :)

Yules, I was even thinking of doing the 52 week challenge as well, but no DSLR yet (maybe duty free before my trip), so will do the daily challenge (as well as a promise to myself to blog daily, yoga daily and journal daily)

I've just uploaded my first photo!! Will go & find you girls & get following!!

I dreamt about this project last night- I think I am alittle excited to have a hobby! LOL

Yules, what's that challenge?

I'm doing it for the first time this year. I'm not very good, just have an entry level dslr and use my phone camera a lot. Will be good practise to get better with shots I think. My first photo isnt very good quality lol, it was taken on my phone and was the only photo I took yesterday surprisingly!

I am crazyfish if anyone wants to follow :)

When I get the time later I will go through and start following you all :)

I've started 365 as well. I'm really bad at photography - even though I studied it at uni - so I know all the really technical stuff but can't compose a photo if my life depends on it!
So instead I am following the daily activities of a cloth doll in the hope it will be more like a diary of what we get up to.
I'm muppity in there (probably a good description of my photography skills!) off to add more people to my follow list :)
