so how do you do this - post a pic each day on your blog?

As someone who has just reached the 90 day milestone (yes i know I haven't posted on the 90 day review thread... yet) I can attest to what a good idea it is. Everyone should have a go. There will be good days and bad days, You'll take some cracking pictures, you'll take some dull pictures. But you'll learn things without even trying. You'll learn about your camera. After 90 days I can find most of my EP-2's functions without looking. You'll learn about composition, lighting and lots of other stuff just by listening to what people have to say about your pictures. Don't be afraid to experiment. There' some great pictures to be had by throwing everything you learn out the window as well. One thing you might find useful if you're struggling to find something to take pictures of. Concentrate on one subject for a week. I used my office building for one week, then there was the demolition of a local road bridge that took another week. Why not try your garden shed? or your car, or bike?
You don't have to take a mind blowingly stunning picture every day. Just take a picture

I am trying to post a picture a day elsewhere; however, I think I would really benefit from the comments I would get here. Just so I am clear, does the photo have to be taken on the day that it is posted (like Blipfoto), or can I bank a few and publish one a day? I also assume that we should post from mu-43 cameras, not others. Is that right?

Hi Andrew,

the aim is to get ourselves into the habit of shooting every day, something worth sharing every day. If you are away from home, or otherwise hampered from posting the shot - no problem, just post it as soon as you can.

Bear in mind that if you accumulate 4 or more shots and post them in a batch, that gives others in the PAD more work to do to comment on your series in one block - and you may get fewer comments than posting each day.

It's actually sensible to host your images off site... and embed them in your PAD blog here, but you do have free image posting space as part of your mu-43.com account, which can take 90 images.

Hope that helps,

Cheers

Brian
