[Closed] Photo a day, 2013 - who's in?

I'll be beginning this again tomorrow after one successful year (2010) and two faltering starts (2011 & 2012). Probably mainly convenient instagram & smartphone piccies as I seem to have difficulty motivating myself to upload anything from an SD card these days 😕

Cool, hope yer well Paul!. Aye, need to get a stw weekend going again, march or April sound good? Been keeping any eye on Gary's results, he's flying these days, tell him I'm asking for him.

Can you use a phone camera ? Or does it have to be a proper one?

Also do the photos have to be uploaded on the day or do they just have to be taken each day?

upload when you want, just make sure they are taken one a day, camera, phone, cardboard pin hole, anything goes

Cool, v tempted by this, will be good to force me to record a bit more of what happens

I am going to try this but think I will do stealth and see what my pictures are like and if I remember 🙂

Aye, go on then, I think it'll be a good idea to spur me on to take more photographs.

Nice idea, but I can't even do it with Bliphoto, cameras and phones are prohibited at work, and taking a photo going to work and coming home would be very tedious, and I don't go out much in the evenings. Great for people who are out and about during the day, though.
I wish I was... 🙁

Gwahn then.

Looks like the numbers may swell again this year!

I have done 2010, 2011 and 2012 and am going to keep going. This year saw far too many snap shots of my two wee boys, the cats and the dog so I need to try and get some more interesting stuff for 2013... it would be nice if life and the weather were on my side this time!

The reason I love the project is that it just maps life - which for me has been mental over the last 3 years with so many changes that it is good to look back and be reminded of everything that has happened.

Now... what should I do for my first photo of 2013. I may still get out on the bike - but after a late night and an enforced early start due to "Number 1 Son" I am slightly less convinced and may leave it until tomorrow 😉

would it be possible to have a daily photo thread on here then we can all see whats happening

I've requested to join so I'm in.

Went out for a ride with all the intention of getting some good photos for day one. Then once I found a suitable subject to photograph I discovered that the battery in my camera was flat 😳

So, an idiot question...

I've joined the group.

How does it work? How do I choose which photo goes into the group? I presume when I upload 10 photos from a holiday that they won't all show in the group...

Graham - I have lost count of how many times that has happend to me!

Sounds like a good challenge so I've requested to join the 365 group 🙂

You take one photo every day and post that up on the group, you can take hundreds of shots that day but only the one that YOU think is best from that day can be posted up, no cheating as they are date stamped.

You can take a shot a day while on a holiday (or if your too busy to do it every evening) and post the shot a day up when you return in bulk.

Just added my first 🙂

If I can do it anyone can 😉

tempted, can I clarify the ruleage, do they have to be posted every day, or can I take them daily and post when I get round to it?

Brilliant response guys!

The old hands will need to keep us newbies motivated. I'm away out for a New Year's Day daunder up a wee hill to get started.

@Greg & @Paul:

yes that's me how u doing? should try and get another weekend trip some time again it could even be a road bike some great routes in Perthshire or wherever any way hope you have a good new year look forward to looking at the photos.

Road ride would be excellent - lots of great routes around here as Paul says.

tempted, can I clarify the ruleage, do they have to be posted every day, or can I take them daily and post when I get round to it?

You can post at your convenience but you must TAKE one photo every day for the whole year. You can take more than one, obviously, but only one gets posted to the group. You might decide to post all 7 for a week on a Sunday, for instance.

Last one I did was organised by Sanny, riding out of Pitlochry and just by coincidence I came across a photie of the group yesterday. Will try scanning but not a great pic.....
His idea of an "easy Sunday" ride turned into a 50ml hill ride and darkness before we got back!! Nice warm up, beer and food at the Blair Atholl hotel with Peter Laing and others whilst Sanny rounded up and kept the stragglers motivated and pedalling 😉

I think I can commit to at least have go at that since I have one of them there smart phones now...

I tried and failed miserably a few years ago ( 2010 ? ) so I'll give it another bash ...

At least I got [url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/33039569@N03/sets/72157632402949028/ ]todays photo OK [/url]

So lets see how long I can keep going

Great response to this thread Stuartie_C, lots of people taking up the challenge for 2013. Good luck to you all, looking forward to seeing some of your year in pictures 🙂

I've requested

I have put a request in too

Tried to do this a few years back using polaroids, without giving it much thought, got a tad expensive 😉

Heres ma picture from todays walk over Benarty.

Up on Cadair Bronwen this afternoon. At 2500ft just too cold for words...

I'm in, request sent.

I've got a good enough phone camera to have a stab at it now 🙂

Thanks for the help, however;

I use the Uploadr app on PC and my Android phone to upload pics to Flickr. Can I set my account so I can add a tag or select a set at the point of upload, rather than needing to upload and then remember to log in to Flickr later on to submit that photo to the group?

i.e. I want to upload a photo and by tagging it STW or adding it to my STW set, it would automatically be submitted to the group.

Day 1:

I'm not intending posting any more of my pics in here - they'll all go in the Flickr group.

mine. just to make the point that it isn't just for ****y arty types 😉 (ie mine will be rubbish)

No. You need to explicitly add it to the group, as follows:

Click on the photo once to take you to the photo page (ie so that it is displayed on its own)
Click on the "Actions" menu at the top left of the photo
Choose "Add to/remove from group"
Find the "One Photo a Day 365" group and click to add to it.

OK, thanks Stuartie

I'm in for this, was just thinking about it this morning.

Sent invite

Not sure tomorrow's will be so nice as back to work 🙂

I'm in. Not a photographer, and I'll mainly be using a cameraphone but the idea's just to document my year so phuck the haters.

[IMG] [/IMG]

No haterz here, dude.

I think I'll give it a go this year too. I tried last year and ran out of steam in early March. I've just bought a DSLR so could do with the practice!

I'll give it a whirl 🙂

I've requested, will I get email back, or what?

Just do it. Don't worry about the quality of your photos. You will never regret documenting a year of your life (good and bad) , and you will carry a camera wIth you all the tIme and see the world in a different way.
Just finished my second year of this, I wasn't going for a third year until I read this thread, now I'm not so sure.

Sod, it I've just taken my first (propper) photo of 2013, after 1 year off after 3 years of snapping in this group, I'll see how I get on again a new pocket camera with lots of features & a smart phone with Instagram should make it a lot easier.

Don't expect anything good though, here's todays

A tip for newbies, for easy storage remember to date or number your shots to make sure they stay in order
