Hi Ralph! I couldn't agree more regarding your ideas and thoughts about photography projects. I've done numerous ones over the years, my favourite being Swans! But not just any Swans. The same pair of them over the course of several years!😁 I've literally got thousand of photographs, both printed and on my computer.

Thanks for your thoughts and for your efforts in producing entertaining and educational videos here! I never gave serious thought to a photography project, uncertain of a topic or intention. Well, I recently completed a 52-week project about my journey in recovery from alcohol abuse, Each week I found and edited a photo that resonated with my thoughts and feelings about recovery in the week, and then I wrote a single-page blog post about my recovery journey. The momentum for the project kept me moving forward to the one-year goal, and I definitely saw great improvements in my photography and my writing. I love sobriety! Currently, I am doing a new 52-week project about creativity. .... Keep up your helpful videos!! Thx

I agree with you Ralph, embarking on a project journey always has very good results on photography but it definitely requires a great deal of dedication. Looking forward to seeing the results of your projects. I definitely like that tree, it is such a beautiful subject!!!

Great idea to do a long term project  ,I see a lot of harvesting in  my area so the change of landscape would be a great idea over the seasons

Hi Ralph, great idea to keep the creative juices flowing on a particular subject, I also enjoyed this week’s images.

Great idea Ralph, love the images of the tree. Must say it could be something I might do with living near the sea and the other direction the moors maybe use the images as a project. Thank you for that we see how we go. 👌

How fascinating Ralph!  And what a tree!  Hope it’s well protected. I have a few projects that I have kept alive over the last two to three years, and one is old weathered tree snags. Also living in the high desert of eastern Oregon, there are remains of the old Oregon Trail that can still be found here, a project that I started a number of years back without really considering it a “project”. And it has morphed into a few side projects as it has grown. I’ve noticed that a number of major photo contests have paid respects to the project idea (NLPA now has a project category - hint hint!). Look forward to seeing your project grow.

Good idea to test your skills and that tree has so many opportunities to photograph and also the landscape. Great set of photographs as always Ralph. Many thanks for sharing your work - have a great week.

Brilliant topic of interest this week Ralph, clearly see where you are coming from and it will be interesting to see how it goes during the year, loved the image they were great. But i must admit this tree is and looks absolutely fascinating

A great idea to get you over those moments of indecision or lack of motivation. Verbalising your intent probably means you will be more inclined to follow up too, so i'm really looking forward to future updates... have a great week Ralph 🙏🙏🙏

Hey there Ralph.  Beautiful tree and beautiful work.  I really like the 90 degree flip you did... never would have thought of it.  Thanks for another idea for me to try.

Great projects and well explained too Pal !!

Another interesting video Ralph. I embarked on my 52 in 52 last year, it’s definitely kept me focused on photography and I think it’s also ensured that I’ve improved. I hope! 😃

Hi mate, certainly has made me think a project might be a good idea for me. Like you said i have hit a bit of a photographic block , mainly due to time as still have diy projects i am trying to complete but when i do get the odd day i struggle for locations locally, so maybe a project might be the way to go for such days. Look forward to seeing how yours develop !!

A very interesting video Ralph I look forward to seeing how you get on with your projects. I liked the close up black and white photographs of the trunk of the tree. A project is a great idea   I have sort of fell into one in a local country park close to where I live. I think I am going to develop this further on seeing your video.
