What fantastic photographs. Absolutely brilliant.

jaansu

Great work Myksyk, thanks. A really great collection of shots.

sy

Some stunning photos. Thanks for posting

looksee

They are wonderful, such skill! I'd love to know where some of them were taken.

Carry

Wow, just WOW!

It's not only the photographic skills, it's the eye of an artist in each photo.


I suggest a boards calender with those photos. I'd buy one! No, two!

CabanSail

We used to do an annual book. Pity that stopped.

IMHO that's a better collection of Photographs than a recent thread where most were graphic art.

Well done to all.

Thanks. That's in there now.

Hibernicis

First time visitor to this forum - amazing photographs. Well done to all.

johnmcdnl

Thanks to Myksyk for putting the effort in week in, week out, and on top to collate the whole lot together.

Some cracking images all round here, and just as many in the weekly POTWs that didn't make this list. Always great for inspiration and hoping that the insights to the winning pictures will help us all learn and improve.

In 12 & 39 is the sky like that to the naked eye or is that just what the lens catches?

Mike Litoris

Hats off to you Myksyk for doing this every week. I'm sure it gives everyone a little bit of purpose which can only help motivate and improve skills. Giving a back story to the winning shots was a killer idea too!

And well done to everyone participating here, there have been some absolute belters throughout the year. Best of all, it's great to see peoples photography improving as time goes on.

No, you wouldn't see this with the naked eye but it is there. These are long exposure shots, leaving the shutter open for 20-30 seconds with ISO ramped up significantly to try to collect all the very faint light from the Milky Way. Time is limited as after about 20-30 seconds (depending on a number of factors) the camera will capture the movement of the earth and the stars will begin to streak.

Discussion about the technique/parameters relating to N°39 here. :cool:

Danno

Stunning photos, but please, please add the locations!

Myksyk

If anyone wants me to add the locations, just pm me and I'll include.

gzoladz

Great shots! I have just learnt I won on week 25

Myksyk

Updated to include a number of locations (Thanks Wailin).

I know its opening a can of worms but having looked at the photos here, we should maybe have a seperate thread for graphic art and leave the real photos for POTW's.


I'll go back to hoping the storm bypasses my house

Myksyk

Have put in as much locations in the landscape shots as I can from PMs and looking back at originals....

Loki98

Myksyk, you've outdone yourself going thru all the POTW'S to add in the locations. Many thanks for all the effort you put into it thruout the year.

GrumpyMe

Great photographs - thanks.
