Thank you for the shiny, new piece of kit!
Small concern, though. While the previous thread may not be as information dense as the geek thread, there are some helpful links and advice. How can we preserve this?

Just to throw in a googly straight away, I need wishing luck. Tomorrow morning I plan to dismantle my Argus C3 Matchmatic to sort out the stiff rangefinder (older US shipmates will know exactly which camera I mean, and will be wondering why I'm bothering!).

When it's Limboed, I'll post the link to this thread - I expect we'll be going round picking up the used napkins and putting the glasses in the dishwasher in the next day or so.

I've closed off my 2011 photo files on my PC - the general category has just 7060 photos! There are other files for weddings and trips and visitors and so on that add another few hundred, I'd guess. In the end I reckon I'm only on about an average of 20 snaps a day, which doesn't seem excessive to me.
There's an awful lot of dross in that 7000+ pics but a few gems, too; enough good ones to inspire me to carry on and do a few more this year.

I am enjoying seeing several friends start 365 this year on facebook and saying that they had enjoyed mine last year. I am not going to do it this year, but have decided that (once I can think of a name for it) I will start a blipfoto blog - blipfoto is a site which allows you to post a maximum of a photo a day. I like the look of the site, and might well still snap almost daily, but I was surprised last year about how annoyed with myself I got on the days when I forgot, and also sometimes how much of a drag it was when I felt I *ought* to take a picture when all I wanted to do was go to bed. I am pleased to have never resorted to the arty washing machine shot (though I did come close a few times).

I've hit 70% on my 365 [366] - this 10% seems to have been harder work than any before, I don't know why. Hopefully the final 30% won't be too difficult.
I still haven't posted on Flickr since May 2011, perhaps that is a project for after we get back from Mysore in a couple of weeks - I'll have even more pics of the [grand-*]baby by then.
I love taking photos but sometimes sorting them all out can be bit tiresome!

Can anyone recommend a good (read, cheap) online source of 127 film? I picked up a 50s Kodak Brownie 127 in a charity shop and the resident expert assured me that films were about £1 - not so saith eBay.

I think you are pretty much limited to AG Photographic or Silverprint these days, and it's about £4.75 a roll as AFAIK only the Efke plant in Croatia makes it. One does it slightly cheaper if you buy a block of 10 but you'd need to be a loony with far too many weird cameras to buy like that. Guess what I did...

Son just turned up here to do some techie support for various bits and pieces here. Clutched in his hot little hand was a newFuji X100. Very nice and very good photos too. His big Olympus, very good when new, has been serviced but has been in its death throes for a couple of years. Almost enough to make me go look up prices. well I did look up a couple of places. I'm quite happy with Nikon D3100, but this was a good deal more compact to hold and carry. He's thrilled with all the manual settings.

My daily photos (blips) are now appearing here. It didn't take very long for me to miss the daily photo thing, although I'm not going to be as obsessive about it as last year and won't beat myself up if I miss the odd day.

JtL. I really like the one for Wednesday 11/01. I would have left a comment there but am not a member.
I went through an obsessive period with Project 365 where I would worry I would not have a photo for that day. Now I'm enjoying it a lot more and am up to 71 % which I find incredible. Others here are similar or higher. Think I'll find myself continuing when I reach the goal.

Thank you Lothlorien that's kind of you. There is a way for me to invite non-members to be able to comment, but I haven't yet worked that out. I'm liking blipfoto, I don't know if it's the grey/black background but I think photos come across sharper there than on flickr.

I'm up to 73% but haven't put anything up since Saturday. Have Miss M, 11 yo granddaughter here and while i have taken photos, actually sorting through will have to wait till tomorrow night or even Thursday. Have been on the Powerhouse Museum trek and today was museum at Sydney. Lots of minerals, fish, dinosaurs and birds. It's 6:40 pm and i can hardly keep my eyes open. She's tired out too. Tintin tomorrow then an evening party for son#2 who has a significant birthday.

In some ways it will be a relief when it's over and I can get my evenings back, and not cart the DSLR around. I'm finding photography frustrating at the moment. Almost none of my pictures are coming out the way I want and I can't seem to get them to, either.

Ariel, some of your recent photos have been stunning - really! I know what you mean about the weight thing - I carry the pocket one a lot of the time and big one when I go out "just" to take photos.

Nice work - smoking aircraft from smoking fish! There's someone posting photos of the Reds at Leuchars over on Amateur Photographer at the mo, and they look very sad with only eight aircraft.
Speaking of AP, the Knotweed took one of me which the resident picky photojudge there described as "Perfect!".

Lol, sandemaniac. Very cool WK, nice job.
Ariel, I agree with WW, love what you post.
But I understand. I struggle with inspiration daily. I struggle with posting what I have shot. Lately I've lost those battles as much as won them. When my project is, much belatedly, complete; I think I shall continue. I think I need to continue. Shooting, for me, is meditation. Displaying what I have shot, very much the opposite. I am very far from where I wish to be, but accepting there is any value at all in what I have produced is a large step for me.
Not to make this about me. Just if, with all my doubts and misgivings, I can continue; anyone should be able.
Again, your shots are brilliant lately.

Thanks very much to WW and lilBuddha for those kind words. Periodically throughout this project I've felt like packing it in, but sometimes you have to grit your teeth, work with the less inspired shots and accept that not everything you post every day is going to look like something out of the National Geographic. All you can do is try. Today has just been one of those days when I trudged round the car park at lunchtime for the nth time wondering what new delight I could possibly come up with. But I guess we all feel like this, especially in winter.
I do enjoy the diversity of the slices of life that people come up with daily - those slices of life in India and lilBuddha's coastal shots are always something to enjoy, even if I don't always comment (lilB, your macro shots are amazing btw).
I probably won't launch straight into another year of daily 365 when this is over, but I have paid for the Ace membership, so am thinking I will keep in touch but at a more leisurely pace.

65% done when I should be closer to 88%. I knew I was a slacker, but not this much.
Funny thing; I, who have a difficult time posting semi anonymously, had a flash of inspiration for a gallery show. Will take a bit of research, careful study for the shooting and a ton of computer time. Not to mention finding a venue which think the idea as brilliant as I do. And, of course, the fortitude to actually do it.

I gave myself a birthday present of a photoscanner, and have been converting my slides to JPEGs. Although some are not intended to be "good" photos, but record geology stuctures or other stuff of little artistic potential, I have been shocked by how many are not really up to scratch. And unlabelled. At least now I have a DSLR, things get recorded much more quickly so I know where they are.
I have, for instance, a collection of shots of four churches. One is St Peter on the Wall at Bradwell, Essex. One is Greensted in Essex. There are two others, one an Essex church with an ancient yew associated with the grave of a Saxon king, and the other one which I can't remember at all, and I don't know which is which. (I've quite a lot of unidentified churches with ancient yew trees - I'll have to go through the list again and revisit.)
The scanner has a fault - when scanning photos rather than slides or negs, if the finish is gloss, the file has an impression of the reflection of the lamp added to it. As some have non standard negs, I'll have to use the flatbed for them.

Don't beat yourself up. I find this quite a discipline to keep up every single day. Good, but irksome sometimes.
I'm up to 77% and will continue to use it when I finish as I paid for membership so can use the paid album. I won't push myself for something every single day, but am a bit concerned about getting too slack. Still have a couple of months to go before I get to that point.

I've discovered a load of photos of school trips and activities, with children long adult, song of whom I can name, and I don't know what to do with them. There's far too many to post on Friends Reunited, and I don't think I could just dump them. I don't think the school itself would be a suitable place to archive them. Good stuff has disappeared over the years.

I've been away from both the 365 site and photography for a bit. We went out of province to visit relatives for Christmas and what was supposed to be 3 weeks away from home turned into a bit over 6 weeks. Wasn't able to upload for that time, but also went through a dry spell after Christmas where I wasn't picking up the camera at all.
Once out of the habit it became one of those "I'll do that (both shooting and posting/catching up on the 365ers I'm following) tomorrow for sure" items where tomorrow never seems to come. Eventually I'd been away from it for so long I was almost nervous about starting again. Then in mid February I finally decided enough was enough and picked up the camera again.
Holy Moly. I had no idea how much I was actually missing it. I didn't do anything very artistic or challenging, but it just felt so good to be shooting again and thinking about the light and about what I could do to challenge myself and etc. I know in my former job I would remind clients of how important having creative outlets was for "Good Mental Health" ™ ... should have reminded myself of that sooner. Like lilBuddha, I find it a meditation. Really great to be seeing everyone else's work too. Some fantastic shots to catch up on.
LilBuddha, hoping to hear more about your potential gallary show!

Gods! Still research to be done for a start. Then locations to be found or approximated, models to be convinced. I think the technical challenges are within my ability, but a lot of work in post will be necessary.
Merely posting on 365 is way outside my comfort zone, getting the nerve to approach a gallery...
BTW, lovely photos by you and the others here, just not caught up on commenting.

83% now on 365! I'm amazed I"ve actually stuck with this.
Today's photo was totally unexpected. A cicada was on the security door when I went downstairs to check my mail. All I had was iPhone so I grabbed a photo just before it flew away. There have not been many at all this summer.

Going crazy here without a camera. One of the back buttons on my camera got jammed. Luckily it is under warranty, unluckily I may be without it for up to 6 weeks. Not impressed with the customer service from Nikon so far. It took them a week after receiving my camera to start processing it, and when I called in after another 5 days and they couldn't tell me yet if it needs parts or not - which will greatly affect the timing of return. Also the agents just don't sound like they're confident they know what they're talking about, which doesn't install me with great confidence.
In the meantime I do have an old compact digital camera, but it has some glitches and an 8 second write to file time for each shot, so I'm finding it almost more frustrating to use than just remain picture-less. I have some catch up files to post on 365 and then I'll probably fill up the days with old files. I'll try to be positive, this gives me time to work on learning my editing systems.

That seriously sucks! At least it is under warranty. 8 second write time? Never heard of such a thing. Could it be the storage card? Can you switch it for a newer one?

The only thing I can think is that it is an 8 second review time rather that write time - you could try going into Settings and having a look.
We've just had three days in the mountains and I have taken 292 photos! Many are dross but there are certainly more than one a day I'd like to put up - perhaps I'd better start feeding Flickr again soon.

Marvin, they keep offering you as a contact for me on Flickr and I've been ignoring you as there haven't been any new photos for years. Years, I tell you. (You and several other Shipmates)
Welease Woderick, I'll keep an eye out for your Flickr pictures arriving!

My last update was in October. OK, 5 months is a ridiculously long time, but it's hardly years!

Not sure Canon are any better, not had any problems within the warranty period.
Warranties on cameras are a sore issue with me. One,1, yes ONE year, no matter the cost of the camera. Spend thousands of £ or $ on a camera body and you get protection for when nothing is likely to happen. Yeah, I know, that is how insurance works. Still, one year is stingy.
"Oh, yes, this camera is incredibly rugged! Built like a tank, it is. Stop a charging Rhinoceros, it will, with nary a scratch. Last practically forever.
Warranty after a year? Are you mad?"

I'm on 365 now.
I've held off for ages - but now am hooked!
Having an audience certainly makes me think much more carefully about my photos.
