[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 514018, member: 13090"] I can't believe what a learning experience doing a 365 has been. In large part doing My 365 Thing (as I call it) has been an exercise in self-discipline. There have been many days I simply did NOT feel like doing anything photography-related; but I had to. I had to force myself to get the camera and take some shots. Furthermore, I told myself at the start of this project that if I decide to do this, I am going to do it to the best of my ability and no shot would be posted that was not a true and intentional shot. So while I admit there were days I felt I "phoned in" a shot, those days were few and far between. On days where my enthusiasm was low what I found would happen, once I got the camera to my face and started working a shot, was that I would quickly fall back into The Zone. The initial resistance would just... evaporate... and next thing I knew I was having fun and, as often as not, I came away with a shot I at least happy with, if not outright proud of. But I had to get the camera to my face first and often, that was the hardest part of all. Doing a 365 has, at times, been some serious work for me, but the payoff has been enormous. Highly, highly recommended. [/QUOTE]
