    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 😕

    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

    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… 🙁

    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!

    My attempts thus far…

    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 😉

    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…

    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.

    What I have done is create my own 2013 group on my Flickr account.
    You should have the stw group listed in “groups you belong to”
    Select the stw group, click add.
    You then get to select what photo you want to add to the stw group.

    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.

    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 😉

    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.

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

    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.
