It has been a pleasure and a treat to view all these glorious photos posted here. I want to thank you all for being so kind to show your work to the world.
Amazing would not be the word that I am looking for, something better.
If a more wonderful thread has ever been posted I would love to see it. My heartfelt thanks to all of you.
Please stay in touch with your world. It is a beautiful place we live in.
Happy New Year and I think next year will be even better. Na! I ?? that.
Pretty fantastic stuff here. I'd love more time to hang here but I'm too busy with a little.. er.. photo workflow related task. Anyhow here's my favourite shot from 2006. I managed to drop a camera in the water right at the bottom of the picture here on my new years day visit here. It's semi working though..
Wow, the talent on display here is humbling. Beautiful work, all of you. It's hard to narrow it down to just one shot, so I am going to cheat here and offer up one for color and one for black and white:
Wow indeed! I finally got through this thread, and I am impressed no end with the many, many extraordinary shots posted here. I had fewer landscapes than usual in 2006, and I still haven't processed my fall shots, but here's one from earlier in the year that I was pleased with. My first effort at a long-exposure night shot:
This shot can't compete with most of yours, but the trip was really special to me and I know I've improved a lot as a photographer last year. This is Machu Pichu from a different angle (from the top of Huayna Picchu--the peak normally found in the background of most Machu Pichu shots). Sadly, I wasn't shooting raw then, and I made lots of rookie mistakes. Looking forward to a return trip some day. Thanks for the inspiring work.
Taken during my month of black and white obsession. I like the solitude and wanted to get the viewer to want to sit on the bench and get lost in their thoughts.
Here are a couple of my personal favorites from last year. The sunrise shot was taken actually in my art studio thru the window on the second floor of my house lol The second was photographed on the western side of Rocky Mountain National Park
Digital infrared taken with an IR-converted 10D, 17-40L and Circular Polarizer. The sky was channel swapped (red/blue) in CS3 after RAW processing in Lightroom.
