I’m not sure these are technically my best shots, but for one reason or another are my favorites.

I like this thread because I look back on the year. Do I choose something from our trip to New Orleans? My son's first backpacking trip? Skiing/Snowboarding? Kauai? Then, I have to be critical just like I force my students to be with their photography. And then I still screw it all up... The balance of subject, technical image-making, and special moments make it so difficult. Since this isn't my portfolio, I guess I can let some emotion sneak in.

I have the same one more poorly composed and with less vibrant colors. I really like the skintrack photo.

The slowdown on the photo forum over the last couple of years has been a big bummer cause there are so many talented peeps on here. This thread confirms it on page one.

My humble additions:

Thanks. That’s an HDR 3–row pano. Pre-visualizing these large format panos has improved all of my photography

I think it slowed down with the iphone popularity. It was hard to carry all of the SLR gear when my iphone took great photos. Now I got a mirrorless so I'm getting back into it.
