Hattie Day Thank you so much, best of luck with your endeavours on here too!
noun Thank you!
Paweł Kadysz Welcome to the community! I hope you'll have fun here. May I ask, why did you stop last time?
Hattie Day I'm not entirely sure looking back why I stopped the previous attempts. I think I generally just noticed a gradual decline in my image quality which was frustrating me, instead of taking the time to actually create good photographs I just seemed to snap something okay and 'make do' with it.
Also at the time I was still studying Photography at University and I was finding it tricky to balance photographs for the course and photographs for this personal project. Now I am a graduate I think I have entered a potentially interesting chapter in my life, with lots of new experiences and people and places to explore, so I've picked up the camera and am hoping (fingers crossed) I will document it...
Jesse Lind Sweet! Welcome and goodluck!
Hattie Day thank you :) good luck to you too, I love the colours and patterns in your feed so far, I'm definitely going to keep an eye out on how your project develops!
Jesse Lind Ya, I am getting kind of close to finishing, I am over 3 4ths of the way
Steve Karg I love your colorful photo! Welcome to the community!
I read your reply to @Paweł. It takes some discipline to shoot a photo every day, but even with a mobile phone camera, a non-interesting view of from your trained eye or digital darkroom could inspire others.
Hattie Day Thanks so much, yes I agree sometimes it is hard but I love looking back at the images that are either well thought out or completely caught me off guard at the time. I guess I am just striving to create meaningful images more than anything else. Thankfully right now I have a lot of spare time on my hands, being an unemployed graduate, so I can dedicate time to creating good work - who knows it may even strengthen my portfolio, making me a better candidate in job applications!
tigg I think there is always a danger in any walk of life when work and play meet - if you were so involved in the toil of your photography degree taking photographs for fun may well have just not been in your agenda. If this photo a day project is something you wish to achieve, you will have to compromise on quality now and again. I'm coming up to 4 years on Blipfoto, with quite a few 'will do' shots posted, but clearly I have 'the bug' as I have launched on this too. Enough; Good Luck!
Hattie Day Oh wow that must take some dedication tigg, congratulations! Indeed before I found it tricky to balance taking photographs for fun and taking photographs for my course as often the two lines would blur. However now I have a lot more free time on my hands (for now at least) so hopefully I will get into good habits and this will help me throughout the duration of this project!
noun Great pic! Take fun on Tookapic and good luck!
