Project 365 Calendar Days
Project 365 is a wonderful photography project that many people start on January 1st. The concept is simple: Take a photo every day for every day of the year.
This may be to document your day-to-day life or that of your children or pets. It could be a way to improve your photography skills (which is why I started it back in 2011!).
You could photograph what you have for dinner each day for 365 calendar days, document flowers or places you visit, or even the mundane things that you wouldn’t ordinarily take a photo of, like the bookshelf in your home.
It could be a completely random photo each day, taken on the spur of the moment, or a well-thought-out, staged still-life. Project 365 could be themed each week or month—like colors, certain objects, animals, or whatever.
If Project 365 is too much for you, consider Project 52 (which I have also done as a way to give myself a bit of a break but continue photographing with a purpose).
One thing that can be hard to keep track of is the day’s number after the 31st of January.
I know from experience that you can lose count, so I’ve made this free printable for both a Project 366 calendar (for those pesky leap years!) and a Project 365 calendar.
You’ll find the downloads at the end of this post surrounded by a purple box.
What Camera Should I Use for Project 365?
To get started, you do not need a fancy DSLR and tons of lenses. The best camera is the one in your hand.
So whether that’s the camera on your smartphone, a compact camera, a bridge camera, a mirrorless camera, or a DLSR, the choice is yours!
I now have a DSLR, but I started with a Panasonic bridge camera and also used my phone camera.
Here is my current kit:
The camera I use for my photography is a Canon EOS 70D.
My two main lenses are Sigma 18-300mm F3.5-6.3 DC Macro and Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC Art. Both lenses fit Nikon and Sony DSLRs.
