The 365 Photo Challenge

**~ Zarava Flutterby ~** · January 8th, 2011, 11:46 AM

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

Gimp is very good and its free. It can take a little time learning hoe to use it

Thanks everyone, might give GIMP a go.
Hmm now to get a better camera one day

**side note, Alan will send that vid link through tonight some time**

**briggsy's girl** · January 8th, 2011, 04:34 PM

Scone - i'm not doing mine on the project 365 page - i have a photo blog i've set up - i'm up to day 8 cos i chose to start it on jan 1 - one of my baby buddies is on day 104 cos she randomly started it!

**sconeonamission** · January 8th, 2011, 04:56 PM

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...

**briggsy's girl** · January 8th, 2011, 05:16 PM

maybe you can start when your new bub arrives - from DOB and onwards from there, mix it up with the kids or whatever
i have just added a link to mine in my sig
