Post your best or favourite 2008 picture...
2008 is near to end. I am curious to see this young forum members' best or favourite picture taken in 2008.
I start this thread with my personal favourite of this year, not my "best" picture, though my favourite one......
There will be a "picture of the month"-section on this forum from jan 2009.

Hello Stany,
I like this picture too, the head of the dog between his toy's. But if you want this picture better cut off the left side till the toy bread and my eyes dont flow from left to right and the picture gives a balanced fealing. Its not easy to make photo's from animals. They have short time rest. The impression is very well and it is not necessary to have everything in a sharp way. The eyes are the most important part of this picture.
Wait till I can send my pictures, but my computer is now in a very bad shape and not able to send you anything, then You can tell me what you like.
kind regards, Betty

Re: Post your best or favourite 2008 picture...
OK Stany,
lets see if I can figure out the upload here...... Super cute pup. I think Betty may be on to something about the crop.... But that's a personal thing....
As for my favorite shot..... Well that's kind of hard. I'm not sure which one that would be. This has been my very first year really out shooting that which I dreamed of shooting most of my life so to choose one shot is hard.... It's like saying the others are not.... But what I'll do is this..... I have this year self-published a book with photos I've taken mostly this year. A few months ago I had the opportunity to photograph a very energetic, slightly "flamboyant", expressive Snowy Egret. So for your thread... I humbly offer the shot which was voted, & won a by huge margin, the shot to become my cover of my book..... So here you are...
Shot with Nikon D300 & Sigmonster EXIFs embedded as I always do...
I hope you will enjoy
Lil :-)

Re: Post your best or favourite 2008 picture...
nice shots to both of you!
I picked up my D300 about 13 months ago, and since have fired around 100,000 frames... so the favourite is not easy!
I just ordered a 24x36 of this one..
so i guess it is a fav.

Re: Post your best or favourite 2008 picture...
Hm, my favorites change every day ;)
So here is the one of today. A friend of mine who invents cakes and such. I get to shoot and eat the prototypes. This one is for recipes in Ladie´s magazines.

Not my best but certainly a favourite. I particularly liked it because the small post at the end of the rainbow is actually a wind turbine.
It seemed somehow eco-friendly.

Re: Post your best or favourite 2008 picture...
the one I like a lot among the pictures I took this year (too many to choose from), since I like trains, this is a picture I took on an industrial site in Belgium, converted to B/W.

1) I had a look at your book on the net... really excellent work - very promising and very professional
2) the fact that you carry a Sigmonster to shoot wildlife (or do you have assistants to help you :D )

My "favourite"...
Not my most beautiful picture but one of my favourites of 2008. My lovely daughter Alicia, 23 months old. Starting every day by taking a shower on her own. She is always very proud when there is a camera to take a picture of her.
Greetings to all of you.
All the best for 2009!

Re: Post your best or favourite 2008 picture...
It's interesting that everyone has posted the images that are their own favourites and that mean something to them. They are all very beautiful though - I think that the rainbow is the most appealing to me.
Here's my favourite of 2008, my first one published in a national paper! Even though the top of the helmet is missing, it's slightly out of focus and I was learning a new camera it means a lot to me.

Re: Post your best or favourite 2008 picture...
One of my favourites from last year after I had found a area where the barn owls hunted and were easy to approach with the lenses I had. Keep in mind I'm mainly a wedding photographer, but have this recent found interest in owls and just happened to be in the right place at the right time to shoot this one in the wild.
