Hey Craig, hmmm... I guess it is about that time huh? Only 16 more days left in the year! That is a very cool shot for you to have as your best... you had some really good shots this last year, but that one is definitely among your best I would say.
Now... I have to start trying to figure out which for me to pick of my own... hmmm
I didn't shoot very much this year - and most of this year was shot with film. So with that said, here is my favorite from this year. My buddy spent like an hour shooting this, I took 3 shots and think I did ok Nikon F5 + Fuji Reala
This is the annual post where I realize I have a long way to go to catch up to the talent on this board. Here is a recent one that I started liking after I played around with it in post. Awesome images so far and Merry Christmas and all the best in the New Year.
Always one of my favorite threads. There is so much to be learned from the talented people on this forum. Thanks for all the support over the years. Here's one from earlier in the year. Portland Head Light in Maine before dawn after a snow shower with the wind howling:
Beautiful stuff here so far. I didn't get out this year much at all but had one night out in the San Juan Islands watching the Perseids and had a chance to take a couple of photos, some of my first night exposures.
I think I'd go with this one, both because it is a departure from my usual busy images, and because of the experience of things coming together through a combination of luck and late-night planning for where to be for the sunrise.
All of you are a true inspiration to me. It has been a hectic year, but seeing all of the wonderful images on here makes it all a little better. Thanks for all your help. Many of you have reached out to me directly to offer a lot of guidance. Happy 2012 and looking forward to next year's images.
After a Summer of shooting IR, this was one of my favorites. No competition to the others posted here, but still one of my favorites. Thanks for all the feedback and assistance over 2012.
