365 or 52

I just wondered if any of you guys were doing a 365 or 52 challenge this year.

I think I got 9 days in before I found the pressure counter productive but some of my 'togging pals' are still going strong.

Good idea or not do you think?

Re: 365 or 52

I suppose it depends how much time you have and if you wish to commit to it............I suppose we all could commit to one decent pic a week.

Would you be thinking of a theme or just anything that took your fancy?

I would quite like to do a 52 er on my son like a pic every Sunday for a year.


mmmmmm might just do that thanks for the kick up the bum.

Re: 365 or 52

I've done both in the past, 365 is very hard, but you get to a point where you can't quit, but you have to be realistic, that some days you will miss, and have to play catch up. Or you won't feel like it.

52 is a lot easier, I've also done other photo projects, they are good to get you out of a rut, or disciplined in one area. For example, my bird photograph was really bad, so last year I made myself take a bird pic everyday, TBH I ended up mediocre at the end of the month, but still a lot better than when I started the month.

Re: 365 or 52

God Moonie..that is so disciplined..mucho respecto!

jols...if I had small kids I would take a pic each day, total overkill, but man, what a record to have..and the first generation for whom that is possible I would think.

Go for it!

Re: 365 or 52

I was desperate to learn how to use my camera,so was using it most days not sure I could do it now. But, 52's are not too bad. I know someone who took a picture of their tree for a year, was amazing to see the little daily changes.

Re: 365 or 52

lol


I have thousands of pics and photobooks of my son from the day he was born.

He is a good subject and I prefer the unposed shots, I will do it.

Starting this sunday.

Re: 365 or 52

365 is far too much like hard work for me.

I could manage a 52 without too much bother but i'd have to work on avoiding repetition.

Re: 365 or 52

I probably do too if I'm honest but not always a decent one
