Some Favorites from 2012
Posted By: stormtech, 01-18-2013, 02:24 PM

Over the past few weeks I combed through thousand of photos with the intention of making a nice slide show for Mrs. stormtech and myself to enjoy and also to share with her parents. It's so hard picking the "best" or the "favorite", but I ended up with 145 images. Some of course were not the best, but were for the memories they produce. I then tried to slim it down to 5 or 6, and ended up with 7 favorites which are posted here.

As I was working through the images, I also looked back on the images from the year before and am noticing a marked improvement with my abilities. This made me happy as I can see some progression in my hobby and helps me strive for even more. Most of these have been posted here over the past year, but I kind of like to see them all in one place. And to be fair, Mrs. stormtech is responsible for half of these!

One other thing to note - all these pics, plus the thousands of others we took this past year, were all taken at home here on our own property. I am particularly proud of that fact since when I started this endeavor, the one thing I read some time ago that really "clicked" with me was "there are 1000's of images in your back yard - you just have to look".

That photo with the five yellow birds is a winner for me- so cute!

What I thought of was Birds and Blooms magazine. I am unsure if it is still in publication (its been a few years since my subscription ended...), but if it is, definitely check it out and consider submitting your photo to them!

Thanks for all the nice comments everyone.

As I said, even just posting images here once in a while is a part of the learning process for me. It's kind of weird, but I look upon my images a little differently once they are posted here. I also learn so much from everyone else's posted photos, I feel I should do the same to help contribute to the forum - good or bad.

I love stepping outside and enjoying nature right outside my door. Seeing your favorites definitely gives me that same feeling of stepping out into my backyard. I really enjoyed all the pictures you posted.

I like the first one most of all. He looks pretty ragged and beat up!

Loved them, but the little Chipmunk was my favorite! Yes, my own yard is a great place for photography too...birds, squirrels, possums, raccoons, armadillos, snakes, and bugs galore! Otis claims there are bears in his woods too, but I haven't seen any yet.

Regards!
