Well, this is it. I have completed my first Project 366 and was able to publish one photo per day for each day in 2012. I actually shot a ton more, but I was able to maintain the pace, and I did not have a single photo-free day this year.
The 2012 project is going to remain here for archival purposes, since this format is much easier for this kind of content than say, trying to find all of my 2012 entries in Google Plus or Flickr.
And yes, I am participating on Project 365 for 2013.

350: Outside
The rig is a Sony NEX-7, Tokina AT-X SD 2.8/80-200 for Canon FD and an AmazonBasics 60" tripod. The original intention was to try to get a digital zoom shot, which would had yielded 200mm x 1.5 crop x 10X digital zoom = 3000mm equivalent shot. I thought the problem was going to be vibrations, so I was using a remote, but I was wrong.
The problem was that while the $30 is great with almost everything I own, it really doesn't like that big ass Tokina because it is simply too heavy.
That's when I noticed that the rig itself actually looked more interesting than what I was trying to shoot with it, which made me glad that I didn't ditch my NEX-C3 when I got the NEX-7.

335: on the wall
This was shot on a tripod at 200mm, which is 300mm in full frame equivalency. Even with the tripod it was impossible to shoot without using either anti blur on the NEX-7 (which I used) or the remote. According to Google Maps the thermometer on the wall is 200 feet away from my window.

324: Something Awesome.
Let's see:
1. That's not the whole collection. I took the shot with the Sony NEX-C3 and the Mitakon 2.8/28
2. Of the 9 manual focus lenses, together, 8 of them together cost less than $240 total. The Carl Zeiss 1.4/50 was $225 and is almost impossible to find online under $350 or so.
3. The full lens collection, including adapters, and the lens on the NEX-C3, was less than the cost of the Nikon D5100 with 18-55 VR kit lens.
4. All of the adapters together were about $60, ordered from a Chinese dealer on eBay.
5. The eBay killer isn't on that photo. That lens was $2.25, $13 or so shipped and is now in the happy hands of a Sony NEX-5N owner.
6. The $225 Carl Zeiss lens is not $200 more awesome than the $24 Mitakon 2.8/28. Yes, it's nice to have f/1.4, but except for the low light advantage, the $24 lens is really damn nice.
