Sue, I'm imaging January to not be prescriptive about 'Single' or 'Daily'. If it is sharing the start of a new decade or as some will more correctly note, the end of a decade, I'm interested. Like Matt, I would like to complete the 9 month cycle in April leading to a SiJ in 2021.

Correct Walter, Matt usually runs an 'Outtakes' thread for other shots you wish to share.

I googled for quotes - they abound on the 'net.

Actually, I set the next day's post the night before. The quotes were my way of filling the blank page as I still had to take the photo the next day. It's not hard but I'm a bit tired atm so would like to see what someone else might bring. A good field so far and I'll follow with interest.

This has been the most enjoyable of the Si?'s for me so far, probably because spring was in full bloom down under. I bonded strongly with the X100T and looked forward to getting a shot most days. To keep my interest up I used over a dozen different software programs, usually multiples per...

Here's the pano I didn't post today plus a collage of 31 days inspired by Marlof. Found out 31 doesn't factor easily :blush:.

Final day - another pano was taken but decided to go with a shot of my spring roses.

No quotes today - feel good because you've completed the first SiO. Matt will be setting up a separate thread for your comments, reflections, suggestions and what ever.

Revisiting the Liquid Amber tree from Day 15. 3x3 pano.

“I love the people I photograph. I mean, they’re my friends. I’ve never met most of them or I don’t know them at all, yet through my images I live with them.” — Bruce Gilden “If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff.” — Jim Richardson “When I say I want...

Day 29 'shadow' shot reprocessed in HDR Projects 5 using a strange preset that flipped some of the shadows to negative.

Noticed this shadow play outside while doing my 'very bright light therapy' to reset my circadian rhythm - don't ask :boohoo:.

“You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine” – John C. Maxwell

Something a little different today - this is the result of 7 handheld images blended in Kandeo RAW+. It is free software that blends RAW images to increase resolution and reduce noise. It is not a new concept and can be done in Adobe PS and similar software but Kandeo RAW+ is automated and...

“All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.” — Richard Avedon “Today everything exists to end in a photograph.” — Susan Sontag “I think good dreaming is what leads to good photographs.” — Wayne Miller

Barrie beat me to the punch today but I have a good excuse. Just completed a 600km round trip to Katanning where we lived from 1970 - 1972. This tree is all that remains of the house we lived in. We didn't go to see a tree on an empty block - our son William died here 47 years ago today. We...

This is a 3x2 shot stitched in PTGui using the Transverse Rectilinear projection. This gives the impression of an ultra-wide lens but without too much distortion. Primped in Aurora 2019.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream” – Mark Twain

Warmer but very windy today - not good for flower shots. This is a Callistemon blossom (commonly known as bottle brush) and I have selectively desaturated all but the reds.

“When people ask me what equipment I use – I tell them my eyes.” — Anonymous “I wish that all of nature’s magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.” — Annie Leibovitz “I never have taken a picture I’ve intended. They’re...

A B&W version of my Day 24 shot from Franzis HDR 5 Pro.

Cold, overcast and wet today - good for rose photos.

“You know how it is when you're reading a book and falling asleep, you're reading, reading... and all of a sudden you notice your eyes are closed? I'm like that all the time.” Steven Wright “I wish, when I was first born, the first thing I said was "Quote" so the last thing I said before I...

Downloaded a beta copy of On1 Photo RAW 2019 as I have a preorder. It is still very much a beta with bugs and incomplete set of features but I like it so far. Today's image of a Bauhinea flower was taken again from the kerb.

“If I gave people what they wanted I'd have designed a faster horse” – Henry Ford This may well never have actually been said by Ford, it may just be an apocryphal quote, but we don't care, do we, because it makes a brilliant point? Sometimes you have to step outside the box and take chances...

Another HDR from the kerb.

From the kerb it looks like there's no-one to live in or love this house.

“The whole point of taking pictures is so that you don’t have to explain things with words.” — Elliott Erwitt “One doesn’t stop seeing. One doesn’t stop framing. It doesn’t turn off and turn on. It’s on all the time.” — Annie Leibovitz “What I like about photographs...

This was my original Day 21 choice but had trouble getting it to 'show' in my post. Suspect problem was at my end so reposting now. It is a 3-shot HDR developed in Fanzis HDR 5 Pro and brightened in Luminar.

Having trouble getting my preferred image to show in post so here is a second choice.

After today we will have survived 3 weeks leaving just 10 days to go. It's just my impression but we seem to have a very low attrition rate this time. Well done and keep shooting. :bravo-009: :thumbup: :drinks:.

Alternative Day 20 pano stitched in Autopano Pro this time and more conservative development in On1.

Pano of a side-street from the kerb . Four portrait images stitched in PTGui which I have reinstalled. Processed and cropped as a single image HDR in Aurora and a preset applied. Not at all natural but I like this effect for this pano. Left the power lines in-situ this time.

“I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, 'Where’s the self-help section?' She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.” Steven Wright “I stayed up all night playing poker with tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.” Steven Wright “I have a hobby. I have the...

Took a simple shot today and played with more extreme PP. Mask from Faststone Image Viewer.

A bog-standard image today led me to play in PP. This was opened in Aurora as a single-shot HDR. I then sent it (internally as a plugin) to Topaz Black & White Effects and chose a slightly faded and cartoon effect.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit” – Aristotle “A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has” – Margaret Mead

Cold and windy today so this one from end of driveway. Single shot HDR in Aurora.

Back to the mailboxes today.

I'm enjoying this time around more than I expected. The discipline of no zoom is making me think more about each shot. As I've mentioned, mood and mobility are my challenges but I've got out into my street and am still finding new things to 'see' and photograph. I've kept my interest up by...

"Once you learn to care, you can record images with your mind or on film. There is no difference between the two.” — Anonymous “Photograph: a picture painted by the sun without instruction in art.” — Ambrose Bierce “Photography is truth.” — Jean-Luc Godard

Shot RAW and converted without adjustment in On1. Essentially sooc.

Barrie it was not my intention to stifle comments. My Day 1 post said, "Comments are welcome if pertinent but conversations are probably best in a separate thread." On reflection, it seems comments are few and far between this time around and others may have felt constrained too. There is...

Today is 'Hump Day'. We are poised between the first half and the final half of this undertaking. I must say I've enjoyed the first and look forward to the next half. Matt will post a thread sometime today to garner feedback of how you've been doing so look for that and share your thoughts.

Another pano 'from the kerb' - 9 image matrix in APP then Affinity to 'fill' missing corners and Luminar for finishing. New leaves at about 50%, will return later when 100%.

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm” – Winston Churchill “Many of life‟s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up” – Thomas Edison

Not happy with the proc of my Day 14 pano so I reinstalled AutoPanoPro and restitched using 7 images. The On1 stitch I posted fell apart in Aurora and I was not 100% happy. The first image below is straight out of APP and the second is pp in Aurora where it held up better. I am impressed with...

Lousy blustery weather so didn't move far for the corner house over the road. 6-shot portrait pano, stitched in On1, cleaned up in Affinity and finished in Luminar.
