Yes
Decided to have a go at a 365 inspired by the people who completed a 366last year, not sure how far I'll get but my new years resolution was to take more photos to help improve my shots.

Heres my first not technically a good shot more a family snap tbh but I dont see my gran very often these days so thought it would be a nice shot to start with.

Not sure wether to post every shot here or just link back to my flickr 365 set, quite a lot of 365's starting today by the looks of it so don't really want to over run the forum with them :)

You got out and did it mate that's the main thing, it's quite eerie looking to boot.
Well done for bothering after a tough day, I start back on Monday, see how I get on then!
 
I think I'm gonna find the same tomorrow Sean when I go back to work. Still, at least you posted a shot, that's the main thing. Keep it going mate!
 
I'm sure we'll all get days like that. Well done for getting out there though. (y)
 
Yo should take more pictures of your sister(if it is your sister) she is very pretty

Cheers cyclone the tree was in the local church yard felt a bit strange hanging round in there late at night so I rushed the shot a bit, it was pitch black other than a few horrible yellow light's on the side of the church building luckely one of them lit the tree.

Todays shot the moon taken at about 4pm, there was a really nice sunset about half an hour before I took this but I couldnt find anywhere to get a nice shot of it with a nice forground interest so settled on the moon instead.

I love the womans expression in the background in the Day 4 pic! (y)
 
Was out with the dog early this morning it was bloody freezing but I got a few shots I was happy with. Went back out this afternoon hoping to get some nice sunset shots only for it to dissaear behind some clouds before I got there lol.

I tried hard to tone down the blown part of the sky but to no avail still pretty happy with it though.

Thanks for looking.
 
Left it a bit late tonight but still day 7 to me as I haven't went to bed yet ;)

My first attempt at water drops which was very difficult as all of the taps in my house are to short and not adjustable so I couldn't get a constant flow of drops to focus on. I had to use an old blowerbrush bulb and fill it with water and hand hold it while pressing the shutter on the camera as the battery in my remote died lol after 40 minutes of trying this was my best shot.

May try this again on Sunday when I visit my parents as it will be a lot easier to set up there.

Thanks for looking

Sean
 
I've never even tried it, so kudos to you for giving it a go! (y)
 
No work today so took the dog out for a couple of hours this morning, took about 80 shots in total and only go a couple that I liked I seem to be getting worse :( . Anway heres one from this morning that I liked.

Also went out tonight to put into practice what Davekiddle told me in his thread yesterday some light trails and some stars on poles ;)

Thanks guys appreciated :)

Not enough time today so it was either something indoors with the lightbox, a self portrait (will probably do one eventually but I don't like being on the lens side of the camera) or out in the garden for another moon shot, decided on the moon shot as the moon looked amazing tonight and the sky was really clear, had a bit of a read on bringing out the colour and this is what I came up with, quite pleased with it even if I do say so myself, Id like to thank jgs001 for the inspiration.

Loving that shot Sean, almost surreal with all those colours! (y) I'm going to try and get a moon shot tomorrow evening, weather permitting. Never done one before, any tips?

Thanks Fabs I think its the rest of the 365'ers that are keeping me going with this really, not getting many comments other than from you guys.. you know who you are :)

Erm tips use the longest Lens you have, tripod, liveview if available if not mirror lockup (assuming Sony's work similar to Canons where liveview locks the mirror) manual focus (zoom in on liveview if you can I usuallu use the 10x Liveview zoom lts you see the details well enough to see if they are sharp or not), I usually do a few test shots Starting at f5.6 1/150 seem to find f8 or f11 sharpest this was shot at f11 1/60 may take a few shots to find the sweet spot of your lens, HTH.

Have a wireless remote so no problem there. I think the longer we keep going, the more interest may be drawn in.
