My Boards Book photo: 'Lucy, 4 days old'



My favourite Charleville shot: 'Harriets Doom'



My favourite spur of the moment shot: 'Rory is Happy'



My first attempt at studio type lighting: 'Lucy II'



My first attempt at bokeh: 'Frost on Fern'

Took me a while to decide on some of my favourites but here we go. I know it's more than five but I had such a great year, photography wise.

I didn't get to shoot as much at the beginning and finish of the year due to the Leaving Cert and the start of college but the summer more than made up for it.Here's my 5 faves,evidently not the most popular ones but the ones that left the biggest impression on me

Brilliant. Just brilliant. I absolutely love the rose, gannet, puffin ... all of them really. Some really great photography. Best pics ive seen on this thread anyway

Whoops. I meant 6th shot. Damn my stupid brain. (Although the gannet shot is great too)

Dragan

Darren, i mentioned to you at the book launch that every time you post a shot a part of me feels some serious envy at your talent and ability.

Those shots sum up exactly why. Fantastic.

DaireQuinlan

That would be Skerries. It's actually the car park for Skerries Mill. There is a lovely pond at the entrance and this is the view that greets you if you look back at the churches. Well worth a visit.

didn't view all here - but Hugh that shot of the girl in Ethiopia, Sasar the bench one (from book) and the Janner punk haircut one are special - heres 5 from me from nearly a too productive year













cheers to us learning and growing in 2009 !

I Haven't been doing too much posting but I've been lurking, so many great shots guys.
Really inspired to go out and shoot now, but I'm hungry so that'll have to wait.

According to Picasa I have 6731 photos taken in '08 so here's five that I came across quickly.
I reserve the right to completely change my mind.
Probably my favourite photo I've taken.


Or this could be, pretty much tied between the two


There seems to be a trend here


Surprise surprise what the subject is


Always wish I'd nailed the framing a bit better for this, a well.

Paudie, they are awesome in every sense of the word!

Hugh_C

Paudie how do you shoot backwards like that on a board? friggin awesome.

paudie

Cheers guys, no board just swimming with my housing and a pair of fins.

Although recently I'd prefer to be on land shooting stuff like I'm seeing here.
