Project 365 tips - take a photo every day

1. Take one (or more) photo per day - definitely the most important rule

2. Choose ONE, sometimes if You want to describe things better publish more pictures, but not five similar cat / flower shots

3. There is no real need to upload / publish every day, but it HELPS. The backlog grows pretty quick!

4. Take a picture as early as possible, night makes time runs faster and it's harder to decide what to shoot.

5. Don't wait for a 'precious moments or ideas' otherwise You can end up with nothing. If You "feel it" - take the shot, at the end of the day it can be THE only ONE. Maybe You'll take a better picture later, but You won't miss a day.

5. Make the taking photo process shortest possible, unless You really need to shoot some fancy or difficult setup

6. Have Your mobile or compact camera near and ready in case You're tired or in difficult conditions.

7. Take camera with You whenever it's possible

8. Remember and review previous photos to figure out next, if nothing comes into Your mind. Create series and thematic collections

9. Anything can be photographed - another important tip - but use it only as the last resort

10. Study technical aspects also nuts and bolts of photography

11. Watch other people's photos - 3rd most important rule - but DON'T COPY - think!

12. Some people write down their ideas for further use, I prefer to shoot right away or ad-lib - You'll find Your own way

13. Learn, memorize, experiment...

14. Find some nice application for easy photo processing / retouching in a mobile phone or on Your computer: PicPlz + social media sharing (Android,iPhone), Instagram + social media sharing(iPhone) , Retro Camera(Android example app)

15. Consider a Project 52 - Photo A Week if you really do not have time, maybe You'll like it and next time it changes to 365

Last one tip
Set Your targets for those 365 small steps:

developing creativity, preserving memories, improving technical skills (knowing the camera or software), learning to see - from other people's pics, shot what You like (pets, plants, sport, portraits, blurs, stars...), don't give up and finish what You started, study and read.

You don't need to follow all the rules and tips same as You won't take all those 365 photos at once. That's the idea.

Creating a photo project 365 using already taken pictures - from Your HDD makes no sense

Some tips You'll discover by Yourself :)

Get the inspiration and share the knowledge, people like to talk about their photos.
