City-Exile

I suppose this sums up the year for me...

I dont get out enough with the camera. But if I had to choose one it's gotta be this from the Big Wave Weekend.

yarr... I've printed and framed my favourite (one of mine) for a christmas present. Don't want to post it till after it's unwrapped

EDIT: read my favourite one of mine, not my favourite which happens to be one of mine!! I'm not totally wrapped up in myself!

I am not sure that I am able to pick out THE picture of the year for me - there were some very interesting ones. But there are various things I like about this one.

This is one of my favorite pictures from the year.Was volunteering in Argentina in an orphanage run by an Irish priest (Fr Liam Hayes from Limerick) (pictured here) and every Tuesday mass was said in the orphanage for the children and locals.Fr Liam had asked me to take some pictures during the ceremony and this is one that was taken just as the sun was setting

Paddy@CIRL

It's not sharp, its horribly processed, can never make it printable, but I love this one, was my first proper catching the action shot ...

Eirebear

Quite a recent one for me, theres a lot thats not right with it, but i still love the moment it caught...and it eraned me some extra cash and a few new contacts

PopeBuckfastXVI

That's stunning paddy!

Such an array of pictures being posted.I think any picture on my flickr account are my favorite ones

There are quite a few of my piccies that I am proud of but this one has a special place in my heart and as elven says its one of my signature shots.

GristlyEnd

I took this during the boards meet to Charleville Castle.

kjt

Favourite shot of my mate Buddy






Oh btw Calina, you wouldn't happen to have that girls number now would ya?

Arciphel

This one did well for me this year ...

Ricky91t

This has to be my fave....One of my first times panning with cars as a low shutter speed and i got this

Muineach

my favourite shot was of course a fox

btw the night vision monocle (Lidl) work great, i can see about 100 meters into the pitch dark over the last few nights, great for spotting animals at night, their eye's really shine brightly, easy to spot them even if well out of focus

Fenster

It's definitely this one, no contest. It sums up a lot of how I feel about myself and where I'm going:



Make sense of that, if you will!

/abstract arty bastard

Renville, Galway, Ireland.

Mine has to be this one.It's the only one I've taken this year where I feel I've really caught the atmosphere of the forest.



Hmmm....I'll try and interpret that shot Fenster,not to do with you but in a general context:The hill represents the uphill struggle through life.The man is already halfway there and the barren trees represent death which we will all arrive at eventually...god I really am morbid today:D

my humble addition to this thread:


a sunday with the flu woke me up to a beautiful morning
this is just beside my local luas station

Fenster

Uphill struggle my arse. It's all about loneliness and companionship.

Captured this pretty soon after getting my 400D earlier this year and am pretty happy with it.
The wildlife forum on www.fredmiranda.com are doing a similar thread and there are some stunning shots there for anyone interested :

havent been using my camera long enough but for me, this is one of my favourites for the year

As Bogart says in Casablanca, we'll always have Paris....

Xios

I have to say, the competition here is fierce, every image is brilliant. let's put this thread up on stumble

redrob13

This one of the Millau Viaduct would have to be my favourite of the year

Xios great pic .... but the scientist is me is itching to know where that shot was taken??

PaulieC

Some great images here and great to see some images that were taken earliers in the year again. This is one of my faves, nothing smashing about it, I just like it. From a few weeks ago...



The resizing and compression for posting on Flickr didn't do it any favours, but it's pretty clean in fullsize

rgiller

Another humble addition...



Liking this thread so far!

amcinroy

Hard to choose. Maybe this one. Proving to myself that the "golden hour" is the biggest myth in landscape photography today.

Paulw

Such a hard choice. I actually have two that I would rate similar. But, in keeping with the thread, here's my one.

tnkrbell

PaulW where bouts was that picture taken??Fantastic shot

Paulw

Taken in Portree Harbour on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Just happened to notice it looking out the B&B window one morning. We were supposed to go out on a boat trip that morning, but the sea was just too rough and the wind was gale force. None of which can be seen in the photo.

m_stan

Some great stuff posted here.

This was the year I really got into my photography. As a result I have a lot of faves, all of which I've grouped together in my faves in flickr.

Choosing one is really hard, but I'm choosing this one as I really like it and it's gotten no comments of faves or nothing on flickr.

blah

Can't find anything of mine that compares, but here's one of my better ones.

duffarama

Probably this one, it was taken a week or 2 after I bought my camera and I was fooling about with the settings and it's one of the last photo's I got before the battery died!

My favourite from the day, I probably took 400 photos in total!

deegs

Peteee

This is probably my favourite photo I took this year

On the board walk, just 20 feet west of the ha'penny bridge.

mloc

not really sure which is my absolute favourite, but i like the naturalness of this portrait.

feileacan

Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys at "Some Days Never End", IMMA. The one lucky shot (i think ) from the pile i took that night)

And, no i didnt play about with the colour.

Have to say the people in front of the bonfire on page one does it for me - stunning
