ANNOUNCING PROJECT 365 & something more :-)


Hello everybody! This is a small and quick post to tell you what I have been doing for the last almost one week. I am not sure whether you all know about a photography project called 'Project 365'. It's a very simple project where you take a picture daily, be it your pen or your book or whatever suits your fancy and post it on a blog or any photosharing websites. Basically you are recording your day to day activities through pictures. I started one in 2010 but I couldn't continue because of our wedding preparation and such. But this year, I am determined to do it, because it's a lot of fun when you go through all those pictures at the end of the year!

I have been clicking away to glory with a new toy, which my santa gave me. It's a Canon Rebel T2i and it's my very first professional camera which I've been handling with lots of care and  love!It's a lovely camera and I don't even have to edit ,not even the white balance!

So now that I have told you about P.365 (lazy to type all of it), you can have a look at mine , if you wish to. Please leave a comment, here as well as on Flickr as to how you like the pictures.The aim behind me doing P.365 is to improve my photography skills and to learn more about my new toy.I hope to continue clicking for the  next 359 days...

You can view my P.365 album here. It will be growing daily! So don't forget to see and comment! :)

I have been cooking up some yummy stuff, so keep checking to see what it is! A hint : Something chocolate-y!

Also, do you people have anything in mind that you wished you saw here? If so, do let me know! I'll try my best to try, if not all, atleast some of them! :) I'm waiting to hear from you! Gosh! I'm waiting to hear so much from y'all! :)

Have a great weekend!
