    A Few Favorites

    At this time of the year a few photographers begin posting their best images from the past year, something I’ve never done. Well, I thought I would look back over the year and pick what I considered are my best. I started adding images to a quick collection and by the time I went through the year I had 67 images in my collection. I’m not that good so I turned off the computer. This was not going to be easy.

    The next day I made a pass through these 67 images and dropped it down to 48. Waited for the next day and repeated the process until I had whittled it down to these 12. I finally just picked one image from each month. It was more difficult than I thought and not because I have that many good images. It occurred to me I was selecting images I liked and not necessarily the best or of the highest quality. I therefore changed my criteria to select the ones I liked, my favorites, rather than my best. Some are HDR images as I played the software and the one image of the flowers and bee was taken with the G12, everything else was with the D300. Even after posting these images I will want to add others and delete these. Never satisfied.

    Oh, and Happy New Year. I do hope the coming year of 2013 is good to you and your family. Happy shooting. 🙂
