Early in 2009, I decided to capture an image every calendar day for an entire year. 365 days later, I have more gray hair, have aged a decade and alienated loved ones, but I did it and, most importantly, I didn’t miss a single day. Comments and criticisms are welcomed, both on composition and technique, and on content. Thanks for looking.

No, there is no mistake with the title of today’s Daily. This was supposed to be a shot of one of my favorite Christmas Trees in town; a thirty foot Spruce on the Keene State College campus. However, I stupidly thought using a wide angle on a tree in the dark on an incredibly windy night would be a piece of cake. Not so much. All my shots were poorly composed and blurry (even though I was using a tripod). None were usable.<br />
<br />
The above was a quick reference shot for a potential future Daily that I just happened to take while walking back to the car. As such, I didn’t exercise much care in execution and as a result, thought the original was pretty boring. I played with it until I got an HDR look that I mildly liked. And here you go...<br />
