Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 3rd annual 'Your Top 5 from...' thread biggrin


It's nice to see a summary of the great body of work seen in this forum every year. Certainly some wonderful shots have been posted in the past 12 months smile


It's not a competition, just a celebration of the photos PHers have posted smile


(previous threads: 2010, 2011)

Rethought mine a bit. Top 5 isn't enough!

Maybe it should be 12, going along with this Ansel Adams quote "Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop."
Was originally going to be 'Top 3' hehe

Just thought of it like competition rules - tough to narrow it down to just 5 but going through your work and making a tough decision not to include one you like is part of the fun / annoyance hehe

I'll give this a go when I get home tonight but mine will be nothing like the standard already posted. Those photos are all stunning.

This thread has left me feeling depressed about my own lack of talent.

I won't be posting.


Oli.
It's worth bearing in mind that everyone started somewhere - no one takes amazing photos from the word 'go'.

There are skills to be learned, not just technical things but also 'training your eye' to spot a good angle or composition. So everyone is learning and trying to produce better images.

That is what is great about this forum, lots of knowledgeable (& talented) people who don't mind answering questions or providing constructive criticism on other people's work.


Cheers smile

Well it worked. I changed mine about 5 times before pressing submit, then once after!

Still not sure....
I'm the same, took me 30 mins to decide - really wished it was 'top 6' hehe

I'm going to do my top 5 on views alone over a combination of my website, 500px and Flickr.
That's sooo cheating hehe
