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:

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.

Day 24 - Packing Again
Still hopeful for a sub-32 pound backpack. Most items are in, but heavy liquids and food aren't.

Day 20 - Backpacking Food
Strawberries are ok once they're wet in your mouth and meat tastes surprisingly like meat - except that it's soy because it's vegan. Back to real food for the backcountry.

Day 17 - Rocks and Stuff
At -36ºC (an incredible -49ºC in the windchill), it's too cold to go anywhere for photos. Hopefully outdoor photos are back by Thursday or Friday.
