Well sure I'll get the ball rolling anyway!! I know I only just posted this in another topic but I'm chuffed with it, and in this one I took off the watermark!!



Good thread topic

It'll probably be this. When I took it, I was happy with it, But I didn't think it would appear in a Calendar, and be in with a chance of winning me €2000!

All that aside, It was a very brief moment that she looked like she was smiling and anyone who's seen it has loved it!

I see colour in each of them :P more like selective colour? Very nice all the same.

here's a few of my own personal fav's -

This one I had printed and framed, hung in the hallway, it won one of the assignments on here, the theme was B&W I think, with over 50 votes


This was one of my earlier dslr shots, taken on my old Sony A200, messing about with fast shutter speeds and flash, I just like how it turned out ... after 100 failures!


Again, nothing spectacular, just liked how it turned out, half portrait, half selfie


And I won't be greedy, last one, our 3yr old running through the grass, I was actually on the ground trying to get close ups of the daisys, though with a normal kit lens ... she just happened to run past, messed with it in lightroom and again, just something I like about it, probably a nothing shot to others

I quite liked this one for a while:


but I tend to go off shots very quickly. I quite like this one at the moment though as it's only a few days old:


In a month time I'll probably give a different answer altogether :rolleyes:

Have a great Christmas everyone.

This was my personal favourite of the year:


It's been a good year for me - still learning my trade, but think I'm getting better. I've posted all my best pics over on my site, should anyone care to have a look.

Two of My luckiest and favourites

Kbeg3

At the moment this is my favourite

Took a lot of photos of the River Barrow this year for a project I'm doing and this is my favourite from the lot

Paddy@CIRL

It's not easy picking just one image from a catalog of tens of thousands of images but, even though it's quite a recent image, it almost perfectly sums up my year in one shot. That is travel, fast cars and great people.

Nice lighting paddy, set up?

This is a frozen lake view from Ross Castle, Killarney, around 1pm Christmas Day, the Sun just gone behind the clouds, -1c.
Amazing scenery, not the best photo or camera either, but great memory.

waldo

My favourite from 2010, if only for the planning and effort to get capture it!


The Milky Way

pete4130

Not publicly shared but a strong personal favourtie of mine. Sensetive topic, Don't ask.

Adrian.Sadlier

I take most of my photos when walking my dog, Shadow, so she appears in a lot of my shots. This is one of my favs.



and this one, taken with my then backup compact, after I drowned my D80. One of the few shots in which I ever attempted to capture my mood rather than an image. Not a great shot but I like it!

It's just ambient light from a security lamp on the wall. One of those happy accidents TBH.

The Milky Way

where was that taken? and was it a single exposure?

The image was taken in Death Valley, California. This was a single image with minimal post processing. Taken with a 5d mII and 16-35 f2.8 lens. ISO 3200 at 52 seconds. The exposure was a little too long, because of full resolution minor motion blur caused by the rotation of the earth.

A few conditions are needed:
- A new moon in a clear sky, as well as no cities or towns within 100 miles plus (the distant light in this image is greater Los Angeles, 200/250 miles away.
- Low (desert) humidity, which distorts starlight as it passes through the lower atmosphere.

I'm hoping to reproduce this off the West Cork coast, but I'm not sure if I'll get the same result. The brighter part of the milky way is generally in the south west sky, and changes at different times of the year (as the earth rotates around the sun).

I would say either this one:



or this one:



The top one was taken in the Bird Park in Kuala Lumpur, the lower one in Chinatown in Singapore.

Torn between two.

First one - fireworks display in Limerick city, near King John's castle to mark Limerick being named as a European City of Sport.



Second one - Sunrise over Mullaghmore, Sligo.

I would have two groups rather than particular photos...the ones from the US, i.e. this one:


and my macro shots, i.e. this one:

I hate it when these threads come up as I am soooo indecisive.

Ok can I choose a favourite from different areas?

This cow stood out from each of the images I took of all the cows, so cute.


It's hard to choose my favourite from this set but definitely my favourite gig shots of the year.


One of my favourite portrait shoots of the year so far even though it was only 4 wks ago.


I just cant choose a wedding image.

baby and crumble

Some really great shots on here... Just been looking through my stuff from this year, went into a bit of a 'meh' mood towards the end of the year, really want to amp it up next year!



or maybe



and maybe this one doesn't count, I took it in 2009 but processed it a couple of months ago, I'm really happy how it turned out...

For a variety of reasons (effort, camaraderie, beauty) I'm pretty attached to this :

Was going to ask where in Ireland that was taken until I read your next post. I really don't think there's anywhere in Ireland that you could get a picture that clear.

Good few to choose from

Best images are in my head - Lidl €6 underwater camera got flooded when I swam among surfers in Strandhill and sunset. Glassy water, interval between waves more than 12 seconds, almost heaven. I was swimming there (with fins) more than 15 minutes before hypotermia kicked in seriously. The best 15 minutes of this year, apart from non-working camera.

.Longshanks.

Changes all the time, but at the minute this is my favourite

These guys usually do a good sum up of the year:

I am super indecisive so here are three of my favs.....

Kintarō Hattori

I had thought this was a poor year for me photography wise but looking back through Pix.ie it's been better than I had thought. There are of course a few and I don't think I can pick a best one but each one makes me think that there's something better there, that I can improve on:


This is from the Yashica. It's not a brilliant photo by any means but it fills me with a lot of excitement as to the potential of the camera. I just need some time and imagination to hopefully get some great shots from it.


Another film camera. I really like this shot but wish I had gotten all of the other puppy in frame.


Taken on a €10 macro- I really have to use it more.


Despite what the EXIF data says this was actually taken early-ish in the year and is probably my favourite portrait I've taken.

I'm making a big move early next year house wise and hope that brings with it lots of new photographic opportunities. I'm really excited as I'll be out of the city and basically in the country.

I hada similar thread started the other week.

3 favourites of mine are;

Morrisseeee

Photographically quiet year (or last few months to be precise) : a few favs:

This year saw 2 Ice Ages !!!



......great place, great day out



Cycling to the top of Mount Leinster isn't easy :eek:, but taking a photo on my fone camera at the top (then loosing the fone, & only retrieving it a month later) is rewarding !!!



BTW, I had no idea when starting out the the top of the mountain was bathed in sunshine, that certainly took the pain away :-)

it's taken at Garibaldi upper lake in BC, Canada - just north of Vancouver. Camera was mounted on a tripod.

ISO 200
20mm focal length
-0.67ev
f/22
1.0s shutter speed.

I adjusted the the white balance and the vibrancy slightly in Aperture. Other than that it's as shot.

This is a great photo of a lighthouse, I would like to see all o them here in ireand next year :)

I *really* like that one HK. Remember when you uploaded it first and all!

technically imperfect - but sums up the anger i certainly fealt, and the follow on meek Irish response to the state robbery




oh, and hope for 2011 , a new life in Co. Louth

chisel

Heres what is probably my best photo of the year - certainly the one that got most thanks for me anyway.
