Your best images of 2015?

[mackguyver]

Thank you guys for your kind words. I've always enjoyed the positive group of people on CR and your words definitely mean a lot. I'm excited to start a new year and look forward to shooting a lot more again and sharing my photos and posts with everyone!

Thanks for nice responses and thanks for posting your images. I find it very inspiring to see what other qualified photographers do. A lot of these images, being made in arenas and with techniques where I am very inexperienced, are very inspiring and I have pushed my envelope on many occasions.

If I judge my "best" as to the most clicks I've received on Flickr...then it's easy:

Canon 5DIII, ef 400mm f2.8 LIS and a 1.4x Tc

The Hermitage, Perthshire, Scotland. Canon EOS 100D & EF-S 10-18mm STM.

That brings back memories ! I stayed with my parents in a hotel above Portpatrick when I was about 10, so about 1970. The hotel looked out over the harbour, and there was an amazing sunset. My mother dragged by father out of the bathroom (which was down a corridor) insisting he take a photo of it, and I can remember him wrestling with his Pentax Spotmatic, Western light meter and towel, which he had wrapped round him and fell down. I've still got the Ektachrome transparency to day - it's over exposed

Quite a few favourites, but this is probably my best image and one of my most memorable days to date. The light quality was incredible requiring barely any changes in post.

I could say this image represents the ongoing struggle of the wildlife due to the warming polar ice caps with rapidly diminishing sizes of ice for the penguins to live on, but in reality I though "ooh, this looks nice" ha! Even got a penguin photobombing on the smallest floe in the foreground!

Great shot, Greig. Well done.

 

[PatchedUp]

Thanks Click, much appreciated. There are so many fantastic shots in this thread (as with many of the other threads) - certainly learning a lot from them!
