Day39 – A 365photos challenge update

The 365photos started out as a fun, creative project, but now it would seem that it wants to be more.

The basic rules still apply, take a pic a day, upload to Twitpic. But I am starting to feel that the photos must not just be a happy snappy, but proper photography. And seeing what people out there can do with just a cell phone, I know that I can do better. That said – pics of the cats and kid will still make the cut :)

I’m also very happy to say that @Robi27 has joined the cause. She’s also tagging pics #365photos, so have a look!

Now, a few of my favourites from photos I took over the past two weeks:

Day27 Blue Sky

 Day28 Tree

Day32 Lights

Day34 Innocent Hands

And because a self portrait was bound to make its appearance…

Day38 Self Portrait (more extreme phone effects)

I also have to amend my rules a bit.

• When I forget (happened once so far on Day 21) then I must simply send in an extra pic the next day.
• I will still do blog posts about the challenge, but it will be closer to every 2-3 weeks.

A last thought…

@janaquar asked whether I have themes or topics that guide what I shoot. I haven’t had any so far, but here’s my current idea. When I can’t find a “photographic” pic to take (or the kid won’t stand still), I’ll take a photo to use on my blog, as many of my entries do not have an image at all. So two birds and all that :)

And a last, last thought… (had to be done)

If you have any ideas of how to make the 365photos challenge better, or can come of with a theme or two, please throw them my way, here or on Twitter.

Better go take today's pic, so happy "photographic" snapping!
