I was gonna start a 365 on my Birthday!

What exactly does a 365 encompass?

I think it could be anything, you decide the rules, but some kind of photo for each consecutive day of one year. I've been wanting to start one but I'm not sure I could keep up with it... now that i think about it I need to just make myself start or it will never happen, lol.

OK guys so Ive been playing around with the 85L and the Sigmalux 50 1.4. I'm pretty sure about this but I think I may have to send in the 60d for a lens calibration aka MA.... hahahah Its front focusing slightly with both the 50 1.4 and the 85 1.2L. Ill mount up a 35L later today when my buddy comes by. I know its hard to lock focus properly at 1.4 and up but its pretty obvious to me. Ill take my kids up to the park later and give it a good rundown with all three primes. I wonder what Canon will say about having a third party lens on it. Or should I just send it in with pictures from the 85L? The 50mm Sigma actually needs no MA on my 7D, but in a hilarious retrospec the 85L needs -5....LOL

Ive been thinking the same thing.... I dont honestly know if I had the time for a 365 these days. But I have always wanted to do one...

found another 60d movie . . . http://vimeo.com/23561​976

Heres a pic from the first time i used my 60D, so far i am loving it...was originally thinking the 7d but instead put the money away i saved from buying it to fund whatever canon brings out next in terms of full frame.

but here it is 60d paired with the 10-20 sigma.

Trust me guys, a 365 project IS hard. Shooting a picture a day isn't that bad, but having a great/awesome/creative​/non-repetitive picture each day is the hard part. Also, sometimes you just don't feel like shooting and want to sleep. But you have to keep up with it. I'm on Day 223 and haven't missed a day. Sometimes one picture a day isn't enough, I'd like to do 2 or 3. But sometimes one is a really big task, specially when sick or really busy at work...


But, it is rewarding. Almost everyone I know knows about my 365. I get a lot of "Hey I really liked X picture, great idea" Friends love to help me and get part of it. It's a really good publicity for me. And I love going back at ealier shots and remember why I took it, what I was doing that etc...

Anyway, you should really start one!

Well that is a good question. Wont some detail be lost? And is it not better to just use CS5 or some third Party program like Noise Ninja?

The guy in B&H HDSLR Educational series(Episode 1: know your camera) podcast advises us to disable it. He want's to do the noise reduction in PP in computer instead of the camera's small built-in software to do it.

I want to know your thoughts about it or second opinion.
