Great Idea!! I love the shot of the eurofighter! Stunning colours.

2010 has been a steep learning curve for me, as i only bought my DSLR in march. So in no particular order.

1: Spitfire and P51 mustang


2: little Egret


3: Chalckhill Blue


4: Fallow Doe, Petworth park


5: Blades Display Team


Hmm harder then i thought, there are some images that i really like that i have missed out. As such the above are subject to change .

Thanks DD, moments after i took this a lady walked up to the group of deer from the opposite direction, snapped a shot on he phone and walked straight through the middle of them, causing them to leg it . This was despite me being crouched in clear view pointing a 400mm lens at them, so it was pretty clear what i was doing. Some people ey!

Love your shot of a bee! i'm gussing it was either very cold or dead when you took that?

You started in March and have a 400mm lens !? Woah - that sounds like some big spending for early days

No - the bee was very much alive and it was a warm day! Had the ringflash on so was shooting at 1/200 + F16 I think - quite a big crop as well if I recall correctly

[jimmy156]

i know, its a sigma 120-400 so not expensive for a lens of that length, but still quite a bit of money! I had used a bridge camera for a year or so before, and had definatley been bitten by the photography bug! I new i wanted to photograph birds and wildlife, so needed a long lens. Definatley not a decision i regret!

I've taken lods this year and many I'm happy with, but none that special other then those above.

Great idea for a thread. Think I'll go with these 5 of mine:

Great idea! Five is hard though, but these I believe are the chosen ones.

Night drive in the Welsh mountains:

D300S ISO200 10mm f9 1/4sec (5 shot composite lit with hand held flash)


Space Shuttle launch:

D300S ISO200 20mm f10 30sec


E Type at Oulton Park:

D300S ISO400 70mm f8 1/320sec


Disney!:

D300S ISO200 14mm f25 15sec


and finally with some friends at Classic Le Mans.

D300S ISO200 13mm f14 1/13sec

Been a great year. Next year I'm off to the Alps in the Porker, so I hope to add some real keepers from that journey.
Happy New Year to all!

Some crackers so far guys

I’ve actually struggled this year with photography, as I seem to have become so very self critical! So my 5 are...

Love them Paul

Was just about to post a few of mine but decided against it but realise that I need to get out more with the camera!

[mattsayle]

In no particular order!

Red Arrows display during the BTCC meeting at Silverstone



Modified Live at Oulton



One last motorsport one BTCC Silverstone



Excuse the watermark, RAF Valley



And one from the studio to round it off



(I tried to vary them but they seem to end up being related to cars or engines )

My absolute fav, especialy how the shot came together.


Warbirds over Wanaka, 3500 shots, not many keepers but this one certainly is.


Kepler in April in some orsome weather.


Lake Alta, The Remarkables, spectacular place, worth a revisit.


First good one out of the 400L

Paul - I'd hate to see you having a good year !! I can scarcely remember you posting up anything that has been less than brilliant


Steve, these are just beautiful This one in particular stands out:


Rob - I remember this one well!


Great thread !

1. Because when I look at it big ( clicky) I feel like I'm there:


2. Because it was very hard work to get, it's my GF's favourite, and I was contacted by the PR firm representing the drilling company, who wanted to buy it (I rejected as they wanted the copyright):


3. Because it was a busy day and I got some insane looks while taking this (standing under the doorway fiddling with filters and lenses, pointing straight up, and taking about 30 shots :


4. Because I tried loads of times to get a good capture of this view, and this shot needed almost no PS at all:


5. Don't know why - just like it!
