Post of your favorite shots you took in 2011

The year end is almost upon us already. Let's see what you've shot that you love and are proud of this year. Remember, it's not always about image quality, photographic skill, etc....Photography is painting with light but it's the story and emotional response the photo tells and conveys that count too.

 

Everyone is welcome to play and of course, repost images from earlier. Who cares!! Watermarks Optional :gabe:

 

Begin:

I'll lead off with two sets that are near and dear to me for obvious reasons. I have posted these before but updated and corrected the exif data. Studio shots taken with a Canon EOS 5D MKII and 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and el-cheapo Home Depot Light Set up. (Click images for larger size showing better detail)

 

Sophia is my sweetheart and the reason I own and will buy more shotguns

Nicholas the day before his big hair cut. I just love this shaggy look. How I wish I was 8yrs old again.

Action Shots taken with a Canon EOS 40D & 100-400mm f/4.5-f5.6 IS USM Lens

 

Soccer: Nick had fun and played with spirit this year. I think this photo shows his drive and the footprint on his shoulder his tenacity and toughness for such a little guy.

Monotone: I love toned images and cars are a fun part of CR

As cool as cars are, mother nature beats them out in my book

Her beauty is meant to be seen in full color though

The young appear so innocent

I lost a friend in the Afgan war thus this years celebration on the 4th hit home a bit more. This was a compilation for Doug and a design I used for the announcements that went out to those of us that celebrated his life.

This year, I didn't take much pictures because others usually did and I just got copies from them.

 

This one is my own picture I took and I think it's my favorite shot, especially from a cellphone.

Sun going down in the middle of the Atlantic on our way to Europe (Transatlantic cruise):

Never felt so isolated, and yet so peaceful.

Much later when everyone was sleeping, roaming around the ship's adult pool:

Can't wait to get back on the water again. :no:

 

 

 

Oh, our 50mpg+ BMW Rental we picked up in Spain.

Would make an outstanding daily here!

I took this shot with an iphone4 from the bathroom in my old apartment.

My roommate, Chumpernicus P. Jenkins the third, turned off the TV and came over to tell me I should close the door while I poop.

I missed the big play so I had to go lay down. He came in to apologize.

I said it's cool and we went for a drive.

We got back and were just hangin out.

Bstowers023 stopped by and we setup a special photo session for Christmas cards. We luckily caught what us camera experts call "the perfect shot"

Chump was tired and had to lay down for a bit.

I was a little hungry so I went out to the store. A couple hours later I came back to this.

So I went and got my rifle

But he pinned me down and bit my arm off. This took awhile to type.

What camera are you using? If you have an option to set your white Balance I would start there. that would improve your pictures by quite a bit.
