After the April 2020 Challenge, several of us expressed their wish to just continue on, which lead to Daily May. The threads showed a nice participation rate, so that can be considered a good success as well.
The thing that some people struggled with wasn't daily posting - but posting an image shot on that day. So, for Day to Day, I'll relax the rules even further, but I'll still set a challenge in the end:

The thing that some people struggled with wasn't daily posting - but posting an image shot on that day. So, for Day to Day, I'll relax the rules even further, but I'll still set a challenge in the end:
- You are invited to contribute every - after all, that's the purpose of a rolling daily challenge.
- If you miss a day, make up for it by posting several images when next participating; you can say so if you want.
- However, only post several images *if* you feel the need to compensate. Let's keep the threads focused and compact.
- Try to keep it up: Post on as many days in a row as you can, and really try to post images shot on the day you post.
- It's what keeps you going; retrieving images from your stash means a break (in both senses of the word - but only one of them is desireable).
- A tip: Do at least three consecutive days - or even better, a whole week or ten days; in some ways, it's quite like establishing a healthy habit - just do it for a while, you'll adapt.
- If you find daily shooting onerous, here are a few tips:
- Don't look for spectacular images, just *look* - this is not about outdoing yourself or others, this is about having fun shooting, and stress relief, not the opposite.
- Stick with choices and explore opportunities - don't restrict yourself for the sake of restriction, but for the joy of discovering how far you can push things.
- There's as much fun in switching gear as in holding on to a choice - explore, compare, adjust ... Keep yourself on your toes, but not until it hurts.
- And, of course: Carry a camera at all times - it's never been easier than nowadays when almost everyone has a sufficiently capable camera in the pants pocket ...
