365 Photos in A Year
Posted on: 30 April 2010
Every year many attempt what seems like a daunting task–Photo a Day (PAD) or Photo 365. The idea is to take a photo each and every day for a year. I personally have attempted such projects for groups on Flickr. It starts out well, just like any New Year’s resolution. Unfortunately, there get to be obstacles and suddenly you find yourself just two to four months into it and thoughts of abandoning the idea begin to arise.
Well fear not. There is much to be learned by reviewing your photography after a year of consciously photographing each and every day. Digital Photography School shares with readers 11 Tips to Succeed With a Photo365 Project. It’s well worth the read if you are interested in such a project. Briefly the tips include:
- Maintain a heightened awareness
- Always have your camera with you
- There is no time like the present
- Train your eye to see light
- Don’t stay in your comfort zone
- Make use of weekly themes
- Plan ahead and write down ideas
- Edit and post-process every week
- Add notes to your photos
- Get into a rhythm and have fun
- Start today
I really like that last one. You don’t have to wait for January 1 to begin such a project–start today. Check out the article for more on each of these tips.
Holy Week via The BIG Picture
Posted on: 12 April 2009
It’s Easter Sunday. Today is a day celebrated by many Christians all around the world. The BIG Picture has photos of the week that led to the celebration of today.
Christian communities around the world are currently celebrating Holy Week – both the last week of Lent and the week before Easter. Holy Week commemorates the last week of the earthly life of Jesus Christ culminating in his crucifixion on Good Friday and his resurrection on Easter Sunday. Observances range from the elaborate and fanciful to simple and reverential, and vary a great deal between communities, regions, countries, and churches. Collected here are a small sample of photographs from Holy Week observances around the world. [via The BIG Picture]
