Project365: 2017

spaceover 9 years ago

Welcome to Project 365!

Project 365 (or p365, 366 for leap years) is a photo project in which a person takes and/or uploads a photo once a day, every day, for an entire year. This thread is a guide to p365 where you will find places in which you can upload your project, more information on what it's all about, and creep through everyone else's projects and progress.


More tips and info on P365

Consider Starting a Photography Project 365 in the New Year
More info and tips on Photojojo, somewhat outdated tho

A guide 2 p365 (adapted from this)
1. There are no rules. Your photos do not have be beautiful, professional, HQ, or anything. All they have to do is exist. This is a journal, first and foremost.
2. If you think you'll forget, set an alarm for the time of day in which you're most likely free to take a photo.
3. You can use anything that can take a photo: a phone, a laptop, a disposable, a point-and-shoot, an slr, whatever u have that can take a pic can be ur tool for this project.
4. Take your camera with you everywhere you go. Your phone is most likely to be your #1 camera for this project so this is pretty much automatic. Yay for it not being 2003!
5. Make a "back up" list of things you want to photograph and add to it throughout the year. This is especially useful for days in which you feel you have nothing to photograph.
6. It's okay to miss a day. It's a sucky feeling but don't let it discourage you from continuing the project.
7. You can start your project on any day of the year. Most people tend to start at the beginning of the year/end of the previous year but it honestly does not matter, especially since it's hard to finish projects you start on right at the beginning of the year. So consider starting when it feels best for you.
8. Encourage someone else to take on the project! It's a lot easier to stay motivated if a pal or relative is working on one too. Also that's pm why I made this thread tbh.


So you want to start a Project? Where do you post it?
There are a lot of good options for places to upload and work on your Project. Try to pick a site you know you'll go on daily. Here are some options/suggestions:

Make an album on imgur
or Flickr
or Photobucket
Make a main or sideblog on tumblr (you can also just post it on your existing main and make a tag for it)
or Blogspot
Make a dedicated instagram for it.
Make a thread for it in the Personal section of the Sandbox forum

You can also make an album on FB if you're comfortable with that. It doesn't have to be public of course and you don't have to be public about making one on here at all if you're going that route or a similar one. This is mostly to just inspire you to make one and share if you're willing.

You're right. I've been working on trying to catch up the last couple days. I still have 18 left so I'm sure I'll finish in a few days :-)

I wanna get that camera this summer too so I can't give up on this or I'll have nowhere to put stuff!

what slr camera do you use
~typical photographer the camera doesn't mean you'll get good shoots response~

but ok i've heard repeatedly that the canon ae-1 or ae-1 program (idk what the difference is tbh mb they're the same camera? unsure) are the best for starting out

i started with a canon tx but it's not a sharp shooter
i used a yashica fx-3 for YEARS but then i just got super unlucky with them and now i shoot with a pentax spotmatic and a nikon n-something idr and i don't wanna get out of my bed and check lmao

but def look into the canon ae-1
everyone finds the camera that they can groove with

do any of you shoot on a slr
i do
how do you like it? i just have a dslr and shooting on film seems like a lot more fun
film is the beez effing knees man
i learned to shoot on a dslr so i was intimidated as by a film slr when i started shooting film but honestly it makes you so much better at photography because it requires more discipline given the shooting limit (24/36 exposures for 35mm and fewer for medium format)
nepentheover 9 years ago
finally got around to taking more pics

still 10+ days behind but i'll slowly work my way back hopefully
