Hi!

Every year in January I like to review my photographic progress of the last year via assembling a list of my 10 best shots of the previous year. If you're interested you can see some here: http://www.focrates.com/gallery/000_Best_of_Galleries/best_of_2017.html

I'd be excited to see your best images of 2017!

Best wishes and a photographically successful 2018!

Thanks for sharing! Those are beautiful pictures. I'm originally from Prague so I loved to see my home city in the list

I would like to watch / read a tutorial about your post processing techniques. I assume those are not just Raw conversions from Camera Raw or similar product.

Thank you! Actually I only do raw conversion in Lightroom which includes some post processing of course. I created an article about my most common PP steps here: http://www.focrates.com/articles/pp_images_and_why_to_shoot_raw/pp_images_and_why_to_shoot_raw.html

Thank you so much for your kind words!

Getting some feedback on my images is great, however I was hoping for others to post some of their best shots from last year too!

Is anyone brave enough to take the plunge?

I'm looking forward to seeing some images!

BR,
Ben

3 birds in flight with prey: puffin with sand eels; arctic tern with fish; and a crested serpent eagle with a serpent. All taken on my 5DIV + 400mm DO II at 400mm - these shots made the purchases of the lens and body worth every penny as the birds were moving fast.

I made about 1800 pictures in December alone. I have a long way before I even look at all of them, much less decide on ten favorites from them and all the pictures I took in Britain in the spring, just for a start.

At least I didn't go to Prague last year. I was still shooting slide film when I was there 17 years ago almost. As it was, I found a shop next to Charles Bridge that was still selling slide film, and I'd buy more each day. No telling how many gigabytes I'd fill up if I went there with a digital camera.

Here are some of my favourite images from last year. I did have a couple of kid portraits I would love to share but I am not sure if the parents would aprove. While I am not sure if these images measure up to some of the spectacular images already posted I hope you enjoy them.

 

[AlanF]

There some stunning images, and so atmospheric - well done everybody!

Here is one of my best from 2017. It is the Dead Sea taken from the Jordan side looking across at Israel. Straight out of the camera and developed with Lightroom with no adjustments. Taken with my 7DII and the amazing 16-35 F4 lens.

Lovely. Beautiful shot, Geek.

2017 had fewer photo ops than years prior, but I still found some. Examples below:

Dead Horse Point state park - Utah

2017 total eclipse

First shot: A muskrat swimming towards me and my canoe.... if you are quiet and still, wildlife does not easily spot you....

Second shot: Serenity....

Third shot: A sunset at Peggy's Cove
