The 365 Photo Challenge

I know a few BB ladies are participating, are you?

Did you pick a theme or just going with what works for you?

I am giving it a shot, i have my little Sony Cybershot DSC-W150 so don't get to do all the fiddly bits lots of other people can with a DSLR, i also don't have any editing software so what you see is what you get... no special effects or editing.

I would love if anyone wants to take a look and give me some hints or let us know where we can find you so we can take a look and support you.

Anyone want to share great details of FREE editing software, something easy, i have had recommendations before and lost the threads but think now is the perfect time to check again.

My link will be in my sig ASAP.

GIMP is pretty easy to use, and has similar features to photoshop

what is this 365 project... do I have to take a photo of a particular thing?

I use Picnik to do basic editing (cropping, sizing, sepia, bw, etc). It's free and you just upload your photo to edit, then save it. They have a paid membership as well which allows you to do more fancy editing.

As you know ZF, I'm doing the 365 Project. I didn't really have a theme in mind, so am just going with pics of my kiddies.

Hun i am doing mine through the site on my sig, basically it's just getting you to take a pic a day, working on your 'photgraphy' or just for your own records, you don't HAVE to have a theme but some people do.

Gimp is free hun - it's what i used to cut A out to add into her garden pic - i didn't do the rest of it in there (only cos i have another program Kath I gave me that i know how to use better lol) but you can do a fair bit in it

I actually thought about doing it just before DS turned 3... but forgot all about it, and never got round to doing it. Maybe I'll add it to my blog...

I'm participating, at the moment they are just random pictures, no particular theme.

If I have to edit them (which I've not been doing - just uploading them straight from my phone) I'll use photoshop.

Sopdet i love yours hun, every day i wonder what you've been up to :p
January 9th, 2011, 06:45 AM
~ Zarava Flutterby ~

Will anyone be putting a name/sig on their photos?
I was thinking of adding something to mine just in a similar color on a corner or something.. does that sound odd?
I mean i'm no professional but thought it might look nice?

Ooohhhhh and i downloaded GIMP :)

I'm doing it, though mostly on FB as I find I use my iPhone to take and upload pics. I couldn't work out how to upload pics to the Project 365 on my phone.

As for editing, I do most of mine on my phone using PS Express (photoshop).

Okay, I just searched for iPhone Apps for Project 365 and there is an app :leap:

My theme, is based on my daily activity for the day - avoiding the mundane usual things.

*edit* I don't think the App I downloaded is the same as the 365 Project :(

Oh the ideas I have.... So much fun. I have no idea where the ideas are coming from, but there are lots there. I even have an excel spreadsheet listing ideas, like an Aussie theme for Australia Day etc.
