Posting on Flickr, I notice that my pictures come stamped with all sorts of info, including when the picture was taken and with what camera, and all sorts of fancy photog data. So, I'm not planning on lying any time soon.
I don't plan on lying about anything, but I'll come out and say it right now: I will almost certainly either "bank" a photo here or there, or go back and fill in a couple of days throughout the year. I'll either be on the road with no access to the i-net or just plain too busy. If it's considered "cheating," so be it.
One other thing: this isn't like Jim Brandenburg's Chased By the Light is it? One attempt/shot a day? Last night I actually took a shot, posted it, decided I didn't like it, and then replaced it with this one.
I took several this morning, and even a few last night after midnight and chose the one I liked best.
And I realize that it will not always be possible to get it in on the day - so be it indeed. It's the gold standard.
Virtually all digital cameras - including I suspect all of ours - generate metadata. In Windows if you click on the properties of the Jpeg it lists all that information, and you can modify the explorer window to show it as well. Most photo organizing software shows it as well - programs like Picasa.
So, other than changing the date on your camera, we're all on the hook.
The Photojojo site (the 'home base' for Project 365) refers to places on the web where you can 'upload a week's worth of photos at a time'. I suspect the best effort will always be made, but I'm going to be practical. I don't want to quit becuase I missed a day for some reason.

I suspect Ron Weasley did shit bricks.
Off the ground early today....this better have been taken after midnight while you were letting it all hang down.

Indeed, after midnight last night.

Well-you can also manually adjust the "date posted" data on blogger.
I may do that, as necessary, to make everything retroactively look nice & consistant.
I've been putting the post times as 12:00am.
Surprised this didn't elicit the obligatory - pieces are moving...gambit.
Though, of course, they're not moving.
