Best Photos of 2020

[Darmok N Jalad]

I did this last year, so let’s do it again! Same as last time, I just loaded each POTD month and sorted by highest reaction score. I relink the original photo and credit the contributors. If there is a tie, both are posted. Please let me know if you do not wish your content to be reposted and I’ll take it down. Just trying to highlight the great work we have here! I hope you enjoy!

Great idea ! We see so many posts over the course of the year that it can be easy to forget some of the popular photos.

This is awesome. Thank you.

This is great
Shame we can't turn it into a calendar and make some money for a MacRumors supported charity.

Cheers

We possibly could do that. @arn needs to agree

More importantly the photographers would!

There are some absolute stunners in there. We have so many exceptional photographers on here. Checking out the POTD thread is one of the highlights of my day.

Yes! I was hoping you’d do this again!! Thank you! Beautiful everyone!

 

[someoldguy]

That's great!!! Thanks for taking the time to put this together !

I might edit the OP to link to each thread as well if I have time. The hardest part was just getting all the photos to show as images and not links. It’s like going to the DMV—too long between attempts to remember the process!

Anyway, hopefully this can inspire a few more POTD participants, too.

Also, there’s nothing stopping everyone from posting their favorite shots of 2020. Some months you can just get edged out using the reaction score system.

Thank you for doing this!! Phenomenal year of photos! I would definitely buy the calendar ?

Beautiful images, congratulations to all that created them.

Some very beautiful photos. Anyone turn their photos into jigsaw puzzles?

My daughter had one of my photos printed as a puzzle for me for Christmas! It's not one in this thread, but is one that I shared here this year (and was reshared by Lensbaby on their IG page). ?

 

[mollyc]

So here are my shares. The first is my Top Nine as determined by the IG algorithms. Because we know not every photo gets the same number of eyeballs. Interestingly, all these photos were taken either in January or November. Not sure how that happened.

The second is my own personal top nine. Only one overlapping image! And these are more throughout the year. The bottom left one below is the image my daughter had made into a puzzle for me. ?

The topic is “Best of 2020.” I really hope we can keep it going that direction.

Terrific thread, Darmok! We indeed have some amazing, gifted photographers here and it's fun to look at everyone's posts each day. This is a great idea, pulling together the best/most popular images from the POTD files from the past twelve months! We're laying 2020 to rest in a photo gallery!

Awesome photos guys!

Just saw this thread, thanks for all the hard work Darmok. Many gifted photogs here with an incredible eye for composition. So many great photos in one place. So much depends being at the right place at the right time, other take great planning. Your June photo of the deer takes top honors.
