Month 1 in Review - January

I debated calling this Month 13 for it's the second year that I'm doing this project. The month started off with a call for photos for a map publication, so I sent in a couple of images and they say I'll hear from them in the spring.  That would keep my streak of getting an image 'out there' every month going for the fifth month. 

My proudest photos this month were taken at Elizabeth Parker Hut. This was the first time that I shot RAW, and between that and the long exposures with the tripod, I came back with a handful of images that I keep looking back at. I think the difference really shows.  This also meant a shift in post processing and I am now using Lightroom first, and then doing a bit of final tweaking in Photoshop.

Some stats for January:

• Favourite photo: Day 27 - Elizabeth Parker Hut
• Least favourite photo: Day 29 - Winter Gear
• Most challenging photo to take: Day 27 - Elizabeth Parker Hut Bonus Photo - the tripod wobbled on the mattress until I took the bunk apart
• Most creative photo: Day 7 - Tyrwhit Tree
• Most used Photoshop edits: crop, sponge (saturate)
• Number of photos taken this month: ~470
• Number of days on which I wouldn't have taken a photo if I didn't have to for this: 21
• How I feel about this project: Keep going and slow down. Use the tripod more often.
