Another bucket list destination. Lucky to get some clouds. Mostly I see clear blue sky shots with little interest.
Thanks AFB. Some of these toys are owned by girls

Well it tells a story! Not sure I'd say it was your best this year though!

No really, it is.Well it tells a story! Not sure I'd say it was your best this year though!
Nothing wrong with that. I have no emotional attachment to your photo, but still think its great! I'd love to photograph my family if they would just let me.Well I am obviously a very different type of photographer than those of you who have already shared. I am a family photographer, not a landscape/environmental photographer. I have lots of favorites from the year because they all have some element of emotional relevance for me, but this was the one that came to my mind first for "best." Admittedly, "best" and "favorite" are somewhat synonymous for me, based on my shooting style.

Then why don't you post in the Photo of the Day thread? This is 'your best photo of 2016'Certainly not my favorite (or best) of the year, but it seems appropriate for today!

Sorry. will deleteThen why don't you post in the Photo of the Day thread? This is 'your best photo of 2016'
Lovely moment captured. Could you not have got the tower in shot to give it context?
Quite fond of this engagement photo I took for my friends on top of the Duomo in Florence Italy.
Sorry for the bad quality.
For me this was a year where I spent some time using wide angle and ultra wide angle lenses. Found that I love the 20mm to 25mm range.
For this one, I got up early and drove into Providence wanting to shoot some of the wind turbines I pass every day on my way to and from work. Drove over these train tracks to get nearer to the wind turbines and took several shots at dawn with a 24-70 zoom and an 18mm prime. Wasn't happy with what I was seeing and then remembered the train tracks. Quickly walked back over there, as the sun was coming up and I wanted to take advantage of the light. Saw this composition and it just clicked in my head.
I chose this pic for the thread because I found it interesting visually but also (and more importantly for me) because it tells a story--oil tankers representing "old" energy (with the surrounding elements also supporting an "abandoned" kind of feel) with the wind turbine in the background (renewable energy--hopefully the future or a part of the future). Whether this is an interesting story or a viable story, it is a story. And something that I often neglect when shooting. I've become more conscious this year of having my photos try to tell a story, one more thing I think about when composing. I often don't succeed, but I'm at least thinking about it
It's not a competition. We are all on a journey but didn't all start at the same time.My skill level doesn't even compete so I'll post my personal favorite, just for fun
As for the story... I'm just always trying to get good shots of my daughter lol
