A moment, a mood: window light well observed, carefully captured, neatly composed. Good stuff thanks Ilan.

Great Shot. I love the expression it conveys the emotion so well. We have all had one of those days. What a debate you have started. Food for thought indeed.

I find I Photoblog more in the Winter as I spend more time Photoshopping archive shots in the long dark evenings. It makes the blog more Eclectic. In the Summer I'm out taking new stuff but I might only post once a week. I like to use a new processing technique for each post and write about it. This make regular posting tougher.

I have seen one or two 365's which have really impressed me but I like you idea about giving each photo respect. It all comes down to why you are posting.

Obviously, one of the twelves

Excellent image, with a good title, a feeling of a long day. The B&W processing is very good, mild in the circumstance.
I'm not sure I like the teddy, a bit disturbing, maybe.

I agree with you about daily blogs. I used to do it and it is hard to keep the quality high. In the beginning I didn't do much processing but since a year ago I do that more and more. So it takes me more time to prepare an image. Since then I decided:
- I post only every two days (so that's still trying to make 150 good pics a year)
- If I miss a day, it's not a disaster

Still, it's hard to keep up the quality. Also I learned to speed up post processing.

I think every photoblogger must find his own way. Whether he or she blogs one photo per day, one per week or whatsoever. Personally, I try to post as often as I can, but only pictures which I like myself.

Btw, a very expressive B&W. I like the composition.

2009-12-29T17:08:04.188+02:00

I agree with you, is very difficult to be so good and have so much time that will show you a picture every day. I prefer that everything I post to mean something to me and those who watch.

Ilan I love this photo! I am one that tends to post on the more frequent side. I think short snippets keep viewers engaged and wanting to come back to see more. If they come back and there is nothing new you could lose them. While I would love to post a new photo everyday I can't seem to acomplish that but I do see myself visting those blogs that are updated more frequently more often then those on a unregular basis.

Who's the principal character in this picture?...

2009-12-04T12:48:55.699+02:00

Who's the principal character in this picture? I really like how we can't make a choice between both of them. And as many people said before, light, B&W process and compo are very nice.

Great photo sir. It is hard to keep up with all the photoblogs - let alone the other blogs I keep up with. The design, web design stuff. I have currently 18 photoblog rss feeds. I don't have time for more than even about 30. It's quite time consuming - good for inspiration because there are so many different styles of photography out there.

2009-11-30T18:50:41.679+02:00

While I have not done one myself, I have to assume that people participating in a '365' are doing it more as a method of improving themselves through immersion in the field as opposed to a means of publishing high quality content. Of course when forced to publish daily the quality may suffer, but I do not feel that is the point of a project like this.

2009-11-25T22:25:40.199+02:00

I think you're missing the point of many photoblogs. I keep one of those "crap 365" blogs, and by no means do I consider each image I post to be gallery worthy. But I am just starting out as a photographer, and I undertook this effort to improve my composition. Knowing in the back of my head that I should get a picture each day helped me start looking at the world differently, looking for that perfect light or seeing from a new perspective. For me, my blog is an experiment. There have been times I posted pictures that I hated just to document my growth and remember what I learned from that failure. Overall, I've found 365 to be a fun and invaluable experience.

In the coming year, I will be more selective in the pictures I post (no longer daily), and I'll attempt a more serious photoblog where I only display my greatest images. But I think I'll keep a 365 running in the background, just to push myself when I get stuck in those creative ruts, to experiment, and to not take myself too seriously.

Cheers,
Lisa

2009-11-25T12:35:48.179+02:00

First of all, a very nice shot. It is nice to hear how you feel. Personally I believe in posting more often, I have been posting one picture a day for quite a long time, then the frequency dropped and I post about 3 pics a week. ALl my work is recent (more recent than 6 years). Maybe the quality of my shots is not as good as some others...

2009-11-25T11:27:41.901+02:00

Good post, a burning issue. I do not understand how you can post and every day the photo, I do not have as many frames that I am not ashamed to show! Plus, I have no time for it, and yet still have a bunch of RSS blogs where you want to comment on. And about 12 pictures a year, a very good phrase!
Photos are in the theme ;)

Tender light, poignant gesture, great dynamic range. Little bear seems to commiserate.

Locking in to posting daily would be arbitrary and mechanical for me, though some seem to thrive on the discipline.

Hey! a nice moment to muse on your thoughts in this photo! I do agree with you on the photo a day issue! it is impossible to keepu up the pace unless you post photos you are less interested in..or at least that is how i feel!!!
Anyway, congrats for your 'artist watch" feature! well done again :)

Really nice moment!

You always blah too much... Sure it't always interesting! Daily's photo only possible for students... I think. Very like your statistic study. Then your picture is a perfect reflection of the exhaustion. Bonne semaine.

Great photo!
