Well what you need is cunning skill like myself to engineer a genuine win 😀
Oh and she may post a pic of herself now the baby is nearly due 😯
See what you guys who are not involved in this are missing out on? heh
Simon - I think while you're away I'll forget to run a vote one month and on the 3rd day of the next monthdeclare it too late and use one of my own.
When is it you're away again? 😉
i've never won either, the best don't need recognition eh john?
Cunning plan cunning. But don't forget Modalshift could be making a comeback so we will need all the fudging we can muster between us if we are to have any chance 😀
"lugging a D70"...
I carried round a D70 for most of the year and now use a D300. I find the little 35mm prime keeps the weight down and allows some better low light stuff. It's almost always in my bag.
Quick question on " etiquette " for the photos...
Is it originals only ( with a bit of cropping )
or can you also do a bit of touching up before posting them ?
Wouldn't like to get off on wrong foot ,
apologies for asking question here rather than on group forum but can't access that from work
Good stuff, should encourage me to carry my camera more!

Hi I am glad you have raised the issue of etiquette as some people have seen fit to add one or two photos from 2007, and for others the concept of just ONE photo a day proved too taxing, posting 2 pics instead. You would have thought the hint was in the title of the group 😀
We did have a conversation about this in the group. When I started the group I wanted it to be as laid back as possible so adding effects is fine, and in the group are one or two students who practice their techniques and have come up with some cool pics. So yeah, basically we need a photo taken on that day.
At the start of the group someone posted a pic with a trail of car lights in the dark and that led to a few of us trying out the technique. And then someone posted a "camera toss" photo so i tried it out too - this photo below is me putting the camera on a long exposure then trowing it in the air - no effects at all!

I've just posted pic 364 out of 365 - so near to the completion of the challenge!!!

Don't think there's any problem editing and cropping. People have different opinions on HDR and other effects but I think as long as it was taken on the right day and you don't cheat it's a goer! Most of mine are processed in Lightroom for levels, sharpening, cropped and the odd effect applied - ie B+W or a film type simulation such as Fuji Velvia.
Good luck.
Off to find an image for today then think about what to do for my last one.
Ooh - sounds like fun, and a challenge at the same time!
im always up for learning more about taking cool pics...
count me in.. i joined the group. Pete_6
For those of you (like me) who may have to resort to using an iPhone to take the occasional daily photo might be interested in a couple of new (to me) apps in the App Store.
One is "GorillaCam", it's free and gives you some useful options like a framing grid, spirit level and "touch anywhere" shutter button.. It also does time lapse, self-timer and even 3-second bursts...
The other is "Hipstamatic" and this costs £1.19 and it basically adds Holga-type distortions and colour tints to your shots. There is a choice of virtual lenses and virtual film (with pricey add-on packs).
hth
Well I have to say this time next year will be interesting to see who made it!
My last biking shot of the year today.

Unless I can't think of one tomorrow while I'm upgrading some bits, who knows?
I've just had a quick count and about 81 of this years pictures I've contributed have something to do with bikes. I must try harder in 2010

But my funniest one is this one

Heh - top photo that one.
Can everyone who has signed up please check in tomorrow (i.e. go to the flickr group) for Simon's amazing end of year photo competition. It will have a cunning twist!
Si
"Simon's amazing end of year photo competition"
God help us 🙄
Ah, just you wait and see.
Last day! Woooooooo.
Yeah - it's amazing to have finally achieved one photo a day. It really takes quite a lot to manage this, and well done to everyone who made it through the year!!
I have not posted my final pic yet, am hoping to see if we get a view of the full blue moon tonight 🙂
I plan on doing a 365 next year 🙂
Well that's my last one of the year and after such a crap year these are my favorites from each month of the year.

Who said we had to point a camera everyday?

Roll on 2010......
TO ALL THE IPHONE PHOTOGRAPHERS... WHAT IS THE BEST WAY OF ADDING PHOTOS TO THE FLICKR GROUP? FLICKR.APP DOESNT HAVE THIS CAPABILITY AFAIK, THE ONLY WAY I CAN FIGURE IT OUT IS TO USE THE FULL, NON-OPTIMISED WEBSITE, WHICH IS A BIT OF A CHORE ON THE PHONE.
Does your phone have CAPS LOCK?
The Flickr iPhone app will do it. There's an icon in the top right to upload.
Also you can email them to your Flickr account
http://blog.flickr.net/en/2008/11/14/quick-tip-uploading-photos-from-your-iphone/
I'd imagine it'll get confusing pretty quickly though. I prefer to keep mine carefully numbered on my laptop at home.
See image below. Top right camera icon allows you to upload.

theginjaninja - Are you going to add the odd shot throughout the year?
I hope so
John, yeah. Every now and then. I might have a week off if that's ok though? 🙂
AND.... that's it. I'm [url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/ginja_andy/4231143893/ ]done![/url]
Day 365 of 365

That was good. Learnt a lot and had a lot of fun. Spent far too much money on photography gear but never mind.
For all those doing 2010 then good luck!
And so it begins, posted my first pic to the group. Going to be an intersting year.
Right, that's it - I'm in - on Flickr I'll show as Chris1968.
Taken todays shot - jut have to find the (tiny) SD card reader...... 🙄
Also, off to find the Flickr app for the i-phone....
Hmm, some foot fetishist seems to have taken a shine to the group...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/37563990@N02/4199336413/in/pool-onephotoeveryday
Not any more - just been on and removed a load 😀
152 members now.
That's a lot of photos a day for us all to look through and judge at the end of each month
Sorry I should have explained better, the app will of course upload to my flickr account but I couldnt work out how to add the photograph to the group.
I guess I'll just have to add them manually when I have use of a peecee. 🙂 I've suggested this as a feature though.
Can't wait to start looking through everyones photos!
simon, is it ok for me to join? Took some pics yesterday and just about to upload ( I know I should have done it yesterday!), not sure how long I'll keep it up but should get me to use my camera more 🙂
Hitman
Of course feel free!
Si
I've joined - sorry for the late upload! Looking forward to this 🙂
Ive joined sorry im late 🙄
thanks Simon, I'll be posting as [i]earlrise[/i]
Just seen your photos. You should be called Early Riser no?
🙂
Just joined too as tyketwentyten - apols for the first image but it was late/early and I had been attacked by several pints of ale... 😳
Well im a bit late having been on holiday, but I will hopefully be posting under the name xdave :).
Any way of filtering the photos just to show the ones from members on here?
