wow. i am truly honored to share my work with such amazing photographers as you guys. you guys always inspire me to refine, improve and appreciate.
thang - hey 2008 isn\'t over just yet. you still have a month to bag your bobbygrail shot before the year is up.
socrate - your exposure is flawless. you were right to choose that shot for your best in 2008.
ok before i share my pick, i spent some time mulling over which i would choose. i suprisingly chose a shot that did not have a bird, despite the fact that the majority of my wildlife and nature photography involves birds. go figure. however the reason behind my decision is as follows.
i \"discovered\" the san joaquin wildlife sanctary back in the fall of 2006. back then, i started out in photography with a stock 18-55mm lens. i wandered around the trails of sjws and came home with this one shot. my very first dragon in flight. !
i was actually quite proud of it considering that i had just moved up to a dslr and could never have gotten a shot like that with my previous point and shoot. however, i knew that it was far far from perfect. when i walked out of sjws, i vowed that someday i would return with a proper telephoto lens and of course improved photography skills.
this summer i tried shooting dragonflies in flight again and got this shot.
so the reason why i ended up choosing this dragonfly in flight shot was because it represented the countless early mornings and late afternoons spent at sjws improving my craft. it represents the possibility that we may all achieve our goals and dreams when it comes to the art of photography.
seasons greetings you to all here in the nature and wildlife forum. you guys always make me feel like a belong to something bigger and greater. despite the fact that the majority of the time i spend out in the field, i\'m by myself (and my wife things i\'m a bird nut), i always rush home to process my pics because i have so much fun sharing them with you guys and seeing what each of you have been up to.
best wishes to you and your families. may 2009 bring another great year of amazing photographs.
