I got inspired this morning! \u00a0I was looking at Youtube videos, something I do way too much, but, I found a review of the X-T5 and it was one of the most wonderfully produced videos I’ve seen in a while. \u00a0The information was spot on and the video work was very, very well done. \u00a0Don’t worry, I will link it below!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyway, the point of the video was this person got an X-T5 and, for two weeks, shot one image a day with one lens the 56mm f 1.2. \u00a0It reminded me of a great book Jim Brandenburg, celebrated national Geographic photographer and friend, did many years ago. \u00a0So I have decided to take the month of February, usually a very un-inspiring month around where I live to make images and make one image a day for the month! \u00a0I will use the new X-T5 and some one lens to be determined. \u00a0I’m leaning toward either the 18-55 f 2.8-4 or the 50mm f 2. \u00a0I will allow myself one close-up diopter so I can do some close-up images too. The self imposed rules will be.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. \u00a0 One frame per day, that is one shot only.<\/span><\/p>\n

2, \u00a0I will allow myself to let the camera bracket three different film simulations for that one shot; \u00a0Velvia – Provia – Acros with a red filter.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. \u00a0I will allow myself only a minimum of post processing, basically I want the images to be straight out of the camera, jpegs.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. \u00a0I will keep the camera, tripod and close-up diopter with me all the time and only attempt a shot when I think I have what is worth my one frame per day.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. \u00a0I will post that image, everyday, regardless of the success of the image.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. \u00a0The pressure is on now!!!!! \u00a0….and that’s a good thing, that is why I’m doing this, to force myself to get really serious again about looking, seeing, shooting and planning out my shots!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I hope you will join me everyday to see how it is going, I encourage you to post your thoughts to encourage me to stick with it!!!!! \u00a0Hold my feet to the fire!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first image will be posted February 1st!<\/span><\/p>\n
