365 Photos/365 Days

So, ​I've got this Tumblr that I've been updating since the turn of the year. I bought myself a new camera in December (a Fujifilm XE-1) and set about with high intentions to photograph something new and upload it every day.  This soon turned into a general commitment to uploading 'something' every day.  Simply speaking, I didn't have the time or opportunity to get out there and get something new EVERYDAY. It's just not practical.

There are a few rules that exist with the blog and points that have developed as I've gone, now roughly 1/3 into the project.  These being -

  1. I decided to stick to a 5x4 crop throughout.  I often use this crop and it's a favourite, though Duncan's 16x9 landscapes are something I intend to explore at some point
  2. Editing has been almost exclusively done on the fly via iPad. Using the Apple Camera connection kit, I can plug my camera directly to the iPad and use the excellent selection of editing apps to get the photos looking as I'd like. Even if I'm shooting in RAW.
  3. While they aren't strictly chronologically true, I try not to have anything too jarring. Things like snow shots when it's clear and sunny out are a no-no

All said, it's been a fun project so far and, most importantly, it has got me out and about with my camera.  It goes everywhere with me now - a clear result of having something smaller and lighter than my SLR.​
