1/366: Curious Mushroom

1/366: Curious Mushroom
Happy New Year, and welcome to my new project!

For a while now, I've been thinking about my backlog of pictures. We all have them. You know what I'm talking about...multiple hard drives, entire terabytes of images that need to be looked at and processed. So many cool pictures that we mean to work on, but in the end, life gets in the way. Time passes, and the pile of pictures grows larger.

I wanted to do something creative this year with photography but I didn't want to tie myself down with a monster like my past 365 Project. (That entailed taking a new picture and posting it every single day for an entire year.) I kept thinking about all the pictures I haven't posted, and all the zillions of pictures that are just sitting in mothballs. Then it hit me: 365: Daily Archive Photo!

This project lets me post pictures that I've processed but never publicized. I can pick through folders and process old images. If I don't have extra time, I won't even write about the image!

My first picture just has to be a mushroom image! This is one that I processed some time ago but never posted. I didn't want people to get bored with all of my mushrooms so I tried not to post too many. Unfortunately, that meant that some of them never saw the light of day!) Behold this adorable little mushroom with mossy bokeh galore! I'm so happy that I can share my tiny buddy with the world!

Happy New Year first.
Yes it is a very special Mushroom, Fungi, Toadstool, a rose by any name they say

Awesome capture and great idea! I feel you pain about the 365 day project in taking a picture everyday since I did it once on Flickr. Best wishes to you and your family for the new year!

Should be an interesting project. I actually was looking through my older photos looking for something to post... and now an idea has taken shape in the back of my mind.

... "all the zillions of pictures" ...
Yes, Janet, everything you've written: exactly the same situation I feel !
... all this folders, filled with terabytes of photos
... and all the experiments, did with processing, unusual using of software ....
"never seen the light of the day".

Great idea, your new album. I think about ..... (missed the first day .... :-/)
btw: 2016 has 366 days.

btw: a really fine, fragile mushroom.

All the best for 2016 !

Welcome back, Janet. You have been much missed. Re mushrooms, I don't think one can have too many. This one is a fine example.
