Your favouritest photo of 2006?

Fenster

What's your favourite photo that you took in 2006? Not the one everyone heaped alocades on. Which one that you took do you love the most?

For myself, I had any number of absolutely wonderful shots of Mariah, of Caira. Any number of elaborately prepared for and processed photos of forests, mountans, lakes, deserts and cats, but the one I love the most was pretty much snapped on the fly:



Mariah's niece, at her birthday party.

Fajitas!

Great idea!

Nice shot above, defo gives a playful atmosphere!

(I know this thread ain't for C&C, but that's calling out for a square crop)

I have 3 in mind,but I'm just back from a trip to Paris, and had a new laptop waiting for me...and it won't read my CF cards...I might have a winner when I get that working...

Rojo

toughie!



I like this photo I took of Niamh Farrell of Ham Sandwich fame

I've resisted cropping this shot at all, but I obsess over perfecting Jade's eyes to an unhealthy degree. :[

Fajitas!

Give it a go! Even just put your hands on your screen...a bit off the right, a bit less off the left...and her face is centre!

Ruu_Old

This one for me, really fun to work with and different than the usual nature theme pictures I have about.

Fenster

I feel that a tighter crop might give this photo a posed feel, which I absolutely don't want.

rymus

not too sure of my fav of this year... but these couple would certainly be in the top ten...









And a few more, but I'll stop the shameless self-promotion for now. All that I've got left to say is "God bless that macro lens", it's given me a much needed new perspective.

sineadw

Slightly different vein..



My youngest - complete with snots, food in mouth etc. Taken with my P&S digital but I love it.

A students life it has to be. New 5D and all. I'll have to give up work

Valentia

Not my best I suppose but one of my favourites. I'd love to be able to fly like this.

Xios

Wow, those are a good load of photo's, me likes the talent
I'll find a favourite sooner or later.

nilhg

Hard to pick one really but this one combines a bit of two of my hobbies so I will go with this one



The bitch is owned by the young fella in the picture and she gave us all a great thrill (him especially) by willing 3 of her first 4 races, unfortunately she picked up a bad injury and has been on her holidays for a long time now.

Calina

I took nearly 10000 photographs this year so narrowing it down to just 1 is pushing it a little.

However, I went to the trouble of enlarging two photographs to 20x30 inches (thank you Photobox) and in the interest of putting my mouth where my money is, these were those two:





I did a square crop of that second one (and did fix the horizon while I was at it) but it's still not quite as arresting as the full 3:2 AR version. The poster prints are dead cool even if I do say so myself. I wish I owned a big house with lots of walls though.

Roen

Hard choice to make, and no doubt my favourite will be still buried in the endless ranks of unprocessed files somewhere on the hard drive.

I'll go for this because I'm tired and emotional right now. As flawed as it is and as destructive as it was I still look back with fondness on this time of my life.
Pictures are about memories.......right?



But if I had to go for one real overall fave it would be this little lady here.

Fionn

some great photos there and i can see why they'd be favs
fenster those eys of the little girl are just awsome!! and i got a good laugh from the snots lol
oh and Rymus - remember who was director of photography at the twin towers monument surely i should get some credit
i've two favs - both portraits that i'm particularly fond of
here they are:





and

unklerosco

My fav from this year...

CrowdedHouse

I think mine might be this one of 'the girls'

For once they stayed put and looked at the camera

beans

I've mulled over this quite a bit. This would be the shot that I've grown most attached to over the year. I think...

Some really nice pictures here sofar

DeVore

Having vertigo that wasnt the easiest shot I ever got but it says everything about Malta which is a photographers paradise.


A good friend, a moment in time.


The shot from the top of the Guinness tower, unedited.


light by candle..

Have to say though, those pics up in this thread are brilliant!

Sooooooo right!

This shot took me two years to get. I tried to keep catching him lying down in his stable but couldnt get it. Eventually when he was on his holidays I caught him lying down, hes actually asleep here!

Seán_B

It's a difficult decision, especially with the standard of pictures already posted. As a new convert to digital, most of my photos are film and my scanner is pathetic, but of the digital snaps i've taken in the past week this is my favorite, although I think the depth of field could have been better.

trilo

This one i'm really proud of.

Third_Echelon

Probably not the best photo i've taken this year, but i think its a decent enough shot....

aFlabbyPanda

as the others not my best shot but I love the mischiefess look he has on his fave. I was too busy taking the shot to notice and got battered with the ball in the next second.

I wasn't going to post for this thread ,because of my inexperience.

But ,this is to show my thanks to this forum and to the members for a shot I like because I do and because it wouldn't exist were it not for the forum
It's nothing special ,but its something I never expected from digital photography.
Straight from the camera.

melekalikimaka

my first gig, sentimental value i thinks more than anything else

This is only the untouched, smaller version, but I just love this shot taken in China. Theres just something about it that makes me smile ...
