18 days until my 366 for 2012 is over and whilst I wish you guys all the best once is enough for me
It should be i said a month or so ago i am going to be doing it. Will be starting a thread on the 1st with my first picture.
MR MATT!!!! You're letting them get away like a chap holding too many marbles !!!
So, are we meant to open a thread now then? I'm actually away over the New Year, so although I'll have taken my pics, I doubt I'll be able to upload them untill I return :shrug:
I think you can open a new thread...just so Mr Matt can add a link.. Up to you.
Do we have to call him Mr :shrug:

Go on....you know you want too
Seriously it's going to be a really quiet part of the forum in 2013 if we don't have some new blood in there
Go for it !!! i'm a big supporter of the Crazy Corner
LOL, oh I'm sure it will be quiet.... Fear of failure is my biggest fear! I think I've tried twice now and failed after about a 100 pics or so. I just don't know whether I can manage a third time. Going to have to think some more about this
Thanks for the encouragement, I'm sure there's more than enough takers for the nut corner :bang:
I need to start looking at some pictures to get ideas, need plenty of indoor ideas for when i dont want/cant get outside.
Got any pics of your lightbox?
Why post in here then if your not interested, for me its the trying to force myself that will be a good thing, i always find reasons not to do it even when i want to, this im hoping will make me just get up and out with my camera more.
Ok.....first I haven't taken offense. Each to their own... I choose canon..doesn't mean nikon is inferior in anyway...
But..... The 365 is my journey. You look in it by choice.. I've posted in the forums above and got little critique or reply... So feel I'm not suited or in the right click for them.... I don't force myself every day to take a photo as I'm not as anal as the die hards out there in flickr land and beyond... I ENJOY TAKING PHOTOS...and if mine are..in your opinion 'boring' so be it... If arrogance describes me then I wear it like a badge... I've had praise for some of my work but hey..its not gone to my head....
...so for us that have and are about to start 365 projects ... They're our vice .. I can think of worse I could do...
...and..id rather hold the dice everyday to give myself that opportunity than to sit there and imagine rolling them...
Fair play.
In fact .... I am Mr arrogant..because I do photo24's ... A whole day of me submitting photos..one every hour... That must be Hell for ***!! Following me on here and on flickr...
I'm going to have to think about this now..........
...and add vain.... As I did a shed load of self portraits... :# (
Wibbly .... Does Nick bullock have this fear... As a mountain climber he's failed to reach numerous peaks...but he says its mostly down to trying new techniques new routes...that he doesn't make it...so don't fear the unknown... And as yoga (the non Disney sage).. do!..there is no try ...
So...you're going try give it another try....??
Got any pics of your lightbox?
I think 365 threads are a bad idea. I cannot think of anything that would make me hate photography more than forcing myself to take a picture of something everyday. Photography should not be forced. You should try to create a photograph when you want to, and when you feel inspired. Trying to do this every day is going to put anyone off it surely? You will become bored of it as your photos tend to deteriorate into boring photos of nothingness. Pictures for the sake of being pictures, to fulfil a meaningless obsession with taking one every day. It does not really show skill to keep taking pictures everyday and keep them interesting. It shows you lead a life which allows you enough time to do so. Why should people be applauded for that fact?
I'd rather produce one stunning picture a year, than 365 mediocre photos from painstakingly forcing myself to take one every day. It's also very easy to cheat and pretend you took one every day.
I have to be honest, the majority of 365 threads I have ever entered have contained a lot of photos that were dead boring and more "snapshots" that could have been taken with a phone camera. Some were in fact taken with a phone.
I also think some people make 365 threads just for the attention, i.e. they experience a "high" from spamming forums all the time having people view their pics. If you genuinely take a picture every day that is worth sharing, why not bundle them up into a group every couple of weeks and then post them in the relative sections. A dedicated thread to yourself just seems a bit arrogant.
That's just my opinion. I do not wish to offend anyone that does these. If you enjoy doing it, that's great.
It may not have been you intention to cause offence, but it has had that effect with me, I suggest if you wish to discuss the con's of doing a POTD you start your own thread...

clicktor said:It's a photography forum where people can discuss. What better place to talk about 365 threads in...I know this is radical....a "who's doing a 365 thread". If you can't take my opinion then don't cry about it. Post yours back. Why should I start my own thread just because I raise an alternative opinion? That can't be a realistic suggestion? On that basis people would have to raise new threads each time they disagree with something?
If you find 365 threads great, then big them up here and counter my insane argument if you like. But don't tell me to be silent because this is a forum.

Great themes are something that either work or don't depending on the person
Sounds interesting.... I'm not so much thinking about themes, I quite like the idea of a lens a month to try and really learn the nuances of each lens over the course of a month (if I commit to it that is)

Sounds like a good idea I did a month of 1 second plus photo's last month and that really was fun but I'm just the type of person that just doesn't like being tied down to a theme it's why I only made it 4 weeks on the 52 :bonk:
A month of 1 second + photos sounds interesting. Maybe I need to add that to my list!
