I was extremely excited when I bought my first dslr so used the 365's as a way to learn how to use the camera in manual mode and how to edit in Photoshop. I cringe now at some of my early efforts, but it was a great learning experience for me. Posting to Flickr, IG, or a blog makes you accountable! My goal for this year has yet to be clarified- I want to take more creative photos and also overcome some of my technical laziness and tendency toward snapping away without clear intentions. Good post- giving me food for thought!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11510700887169878456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-25487367121097664902017-01-05T07:23:38.353-08:002017-01-05T07:23:38.353-08:00Oh, yes, a plan is essential!

I played around with the idea of doing a 365 a few years ago but didn't have a plan on how I was going to do it and, you guessed it, I failed miserably. Then I decided to do a 52 (one photo a week) and had a plan on how I would do it and it worked. It's not enough to have a goal, you have to have a plan. Thanks for the reminder! terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-79273552878301152142017-01-05T05:18:27.362-08:002017-01-05T05:18:27.362-08:00Wow!

I spy with my little eye . . . something red.<br /><br />This post hits the nail on the head. We have to have a plan or at least an outline or a roadmap, perhaps, if we're going to succeed and meet our goal or reach our destination. If a 365 is too overwhelming, you can do series. My Christmas mug series was so much fun, I'm working on an idea for this month. But I don't have the plan down yet. <br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement!Dottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811399388989716265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-37584805149090617192017-01-05T05:13:52.124-08:002017-01-05T05:13:52.124-08:00You're so right Linda.
