A Photo A Day

The object of a 365 photo project is simple - to take a photo everyday for a whole year. It's a popular concept that has spawned groups on Flickr and elsewhere. It's fun. It's educational. It's a great record of a year of your life.

I failed with my first attempt at a 365 project back in the mid noughties. But I did succeed in 2008/9 when I managed to take a photo a day, every day, without fail from October 19th round to the following October 18th. All of those photos are available on this blog.

I'm currently doing it all over again, but will go one better this time. As 2012 has a leap year, this time I'll be snapping 366 photos. And unlike 2008, when I lived in Mexico, these photos will record a year of my life in the UK.

Another change this time round will be the camera I use. In 2008 I used a Panasonic TZ5 travel zoom. I still have it, although I sport a shiny Olympus PEN as my prime camera these days. But that won't shoot any of my photos in this project.

This time I will be using the camera on my cell phone. Which is a Samsung Galaxy S2. It has an 8mp camera, and whilst its ultimate image quality falls well short of a proper camera, it's still good enough for this project. This project is meant to be spontaneous, experimental and fun.

One thing that will be just like last year though - the Photo of the Month vote. Stay tuned...

The Photo Of The Year

The photos have all been taken, the votes opened, closed and counted and so I present to you the winner of Photo of the Year - the photo that is, by popular opinion, the best of my 365 project. This concludes my 365 project and therefore concludes this blog. I have a permanent photography blog which you can check out by clicking here. I will add one more post to this blog in a few weeks when I transfer the 3six5.co.uk domain name over to my permanent blog. Thanks for following my year!

Photo of the Year

The poll on my new photography site ran for a week, but proved inconclusive. Two photos tied for the top spot. And I really, really wanted a winner! So I'm running one last poll, a quick fire 48 hour shoot out to separate the two. Cast your vote quick...Traffic or Forest Fire?
