365/52/2010 project - what shall we do? - Page 2

lostkat · 01-01-2010, 16:22

Good idea Pete, but not for those of us who aren't really into portrait photography (i.e. me). Don't get me wrong, I'd like to take a few portraits to improve my skillz, but I want to widen the subject matter so it's anything & everything

I think it's a good idea to upload all the pics on a certain day (or over the w/e) so that we have all week 1's stuff first, followed by week 2 etc. Those doing a 365 might want to post weekly with all their shots in 1 post or something.

So... first theme???

Come on. I'm chomping at the bit

Kitten · 01-01-2010, 16:54

You go then! Be numero uno! I'd say that whatever theme we get now, ends next weekend, so I'll start a new photo only thread (+ short descriptions and any steps you want to include that got you to the shot) on Friday evening. That ok with everyone?

So far, I believe we have:

1, Kate
2, Vix
3, Me
4, SCM
5, Haly? (c'mon you know you want to)
6, Belmit
7, Tink
8, Leo

....hopefully that list will grow

Pete, are you doing that 100 strangers? Is that one of your projects?

I'm just not brave enough yet. Maybe next year!

It is a daunting project photographing 100 strangers, especially if you're not a portrait photographer. In all honesty I dunno where to really put people in the frame to make a nice shot. I'm not a portrait photographer but I can spot a moment and photograph it. So I'm hoping to get moments and stories more so than straight up portraits. We shall see.

Good luck to you all on whatever you do. Anything you do that pushes you as a photographer is going to be good

Can I join in, even though I only have a basic digicam?

BBx · 01-01-2010, 21:48

Am thinking of doing this for my own amusement on FB

as I know nothing of technique and am unsure as to how frequent I will be able to Down/Upload.

Will enjoy seeing all of yours though

I'm planning on doing one on my blog (and restart the actual blog - abandoned it in June last year

) but going to have to do it on my own as I'm not really into arty shots or following themes.

TinkerBell · 01-01-2010, 21:52

I will try my best when it comes to the technique ones as I don't have a clue when it comes to that! Will have to read up when it comes to those weeks me thinks.

Kitten · 01-01-2010, 22:15

^^ that's the point Tink, I don't know hardly any techniques but I want to learn. That's why I want to do this

Marie - of course you can

Stan_Lite · 01-01-2010, 22:43

I'd like to take part. I think this could be useful in developing skills one wouldn't normally focus on.

Only problem with me is work - If the weekly subject is flowers or suchlike and I'm on the rig, I may well struggle

I will participate as much as possible but you need to understand that subject matter could be an issue on occasion

Dee · 01-01-2010, 23:28

I am not ignoring this, but thought I would say I wont be joining in.

My 365 was a lot of work, and I really want to focus on the business side of my photography this year, well, more so

Good luck everyone
