01-01-2013 02:05AM#1Taken by yourself of course!
I think it would be great to get a little detail/background and maybe some technical info on the shot too.
To get the ball rolling - this is mine
' A sunny August afternoon in Croke Park up in the stands – predicting an easy win for the Dubs over the visitors from Mayo.
Brought the camera along to catch the 5 goals the Dubs would surely score.
Dubs beaten – and all I got was this….'
Taken with a Nikon D/7000
Nikon 80-400mm lens @ 310mm
1/640sec/ F5.3(max at that focal length)
ISO 10023

i don't feel that i've taken any amazing pictures this year, but this one would be one of my favourites

I've a few favorites from this year, I think this came out the best.
I saw some intentional movement shots on flickr and thought I'd give it a go.

Dream of flight by Daire Quinlan, on Flickr
Actually though I think it's impossible to pick just one image from the hundreds I've uploaded over the year. The above is just a random pick more than anything else

I bought my first camera in April, so I wouldn't say I have any particularly good shots this year. I've mostly been trying to build the skill set required to do some more abstract stuff, with photography as the starting point.
But I liked this one which I took in May. Not because it's a great photo or anything, but because it was my first time really thinking about the framing and composition - and probably my first time taking a photo that wasn't just a mindless reproduction of a scene in front of me (or "mindless reproduction PLUS 'BOKEH'!!!"). It was the first time I was sort of almost happy with a photo I'd taken.
Although looking at it now I think I might hate the title.

This makes me smile when I print it big and looks smashing in a box frame. It gets a great curious reaction from people when they first notice it hanging up, which is just a lovely feeling...
@keps- love that shot. It really stood out in the book this year.0 -

This one is mine, purely for the amount of time it took to find him and his perch. Now I see him every day I walk the dogs, come the breeding season I will try again thankfully my permit to photograph them was renewed for 2013.

This one would have to be my personal favourite for 2012, for a number of reasons. This type of tranquil landscape photo is what originally awakened my interest in photography and although I shoot across a variety of categories I still thoroughly enjoy these type of photos. No matter how stressed I may be in the run up, there is something very relaxing about being out at some ridiculous hour of the morning, alone, capturing these scenes:

Probably this one. Went with my college Photographic Society on a photowalk, with the intention of doing long-exposure shots. This is what came of it.

Has to be this one for me. Taken at Kings of Concrete, it was a horrible cold and wet day, but eventually there was a bit of a break in the weather and caught the skater at just the right time. Looks great printed and stuck on the wall!0 -

Very slowly, but steadily, making some headway up the learning curve.

My favourite from the year - my old mates smashing pumpkins watermelons. Got to use all my gear, knowledge and watermelon throwing abilities together, for one shot.
EDIT: Inspired by this thread, I've posted *all* my personal faves of 2012, It's a long one. See here.0 -

My favorite of the year would be one of the first portraits I have ever taken using lighting gear. The strobist was a big help!

Doolin Cliff View 2 by garycollins2
One of my favourites, went viral on Facebook (for me anyhow)/ Plenty of shares 50+ which was fantastic for me.
Long exposure of the Cliffs of Moher from Doolin.
f20, 70mm, ISO 100 for 20seconds.
It was close to dark and was the last shot of the evening. The colour is pretty much as was that evening.0 -

Trying to get a digital 'double exposure' impression using long exposures, intentional camera movment, lots of windows and reflections and a very patient daughter.
f16, ISO 800, 4sec, 50mm on a crop.I'm older than Minecraft goats.

It has to be this one. This is the first photo I pictured it in my mind, they way it's framed, the cloudy sky, high tide, everything! I can say I saw this photo before it was a photo and the cherry on top of it... it came second in the coastal landscape cat. on the clean coast comp.

On a very wet and windy day in Southern Iceland during the summer. Lucky to see plenty of puffins but struggled to get close or get a good composition with a group of them, not to mention rain on lens problems (I had no lens hood with me). This is one of the last I took before moving on.

Has to be sunrise over my home townland. It was one of the first photos that i properly planned. i had done scouting for and some test images the previous day, found a good vantage point, checked weather, sunrise and got up super early to catch the sunrise. Was very pleased with how it all came out.

Probably one of these two, both from visits to indigenous peoples in Peru:

Probably these two. It pushed me out of my comfort zone to engage a few strangers.
This is Alex. I bumped into him on his way for a surf at sunrise. Nice way to start the day!
And Kirsty, warming up for the first part of her daily routine.

I think this is my favourite of 2012. I had taken another Gorilla shot in 2011 http://pix.ie/asadlier/2287668/size/800 which was taken in the old enclosure in Dublin Zoo - the poor Gorilla looked depressed! This shot was taken in the new enclosure on the "African Plains" area of the Zoo, a much better setup altogether.0 -
