365 Ideas & Tips for Project 365!
Home » Photography »I’ve decided, in addition to sharing my photos from Project 365:2014, I’m also going to share 365 ideas and tips for Project 365 too!
Since this is now my fourth year of taking a photo a day, I like to think I’ve built up enough experience and knowledge to share these tips! Please bookmark this page (or subscribe) so that you don’t miss out!
Of course, as the year goes by, this list of ideas will increase, as I write this page, there are six tips. Each tip/idea is linked to the full explanation as well as the photo for that day.

I’ve joined it this year, although having been laid up with a chest infection/pleurisy since NYE, my pics so far have not been very interesting. In fact, its mainly me terrorising the poor cats!
Seriously hope I get more interesting as the year goes on ha ha

Oh, you poor thing!! Wish you better xxx
It doesn’t matter what you take photos of each day – and wow, give yourself a break if you’re poorly – I know many times when I was I’d either leave it as a blank for the day or catch up in the days after xx
