Aren't there any other people who are willing to post even a couple of photos that are favorites from last year? I was sure we could get at least nine or ten pages of photos..
This is a good thread idea and some fine images posted.
I'll ruin your thread with a few from last year, as soon as I get around to organising them. I have already posted directly into threads so I would need to choose and then place pictures into albums here to repost them. This may be a slow burn thread.

Absolutely. At least personally, I don't think I'm making high art, but I do enjoy photography and enjoy seeing the images of others. Hope this thread can be a bit of a summation of sorts of the high points of 2019.

The thread title says "favorites" instead of "best" of 2019, which is a good thing, because I didn't take any magazine quality photos in 2019. I'll start with the most technically challenging photo I took last year, a family portrait with me holding the infrared remote, with on-camera flash bounced off a wall (instead of the ceiling because my tripod is too shot, so I placed it in the kitchen and we stood in the family room which is about 18 inches lower (both ceiling and floor). I couldn't do anything about the busy background and if I used a wider aperture than f4, some of our faces were out of focus. Since my daughter lives 2000 kilometres away and my son lives 3000 kilometres away, it was a special occasion to have the four of us together.



Then my favorite flower picture of 2019, a Brugmansia that only flowers in November, when it is much too harsh outdoors, so in September we bring it inside, let all leaves shrivel up and fall off and then one or two very fragrant blooms magically appear, followed by a playing dead period of 4-5 months.



Finally, I don't normally do B&W conversions, but I purposely went out one evening to look for a suitable photo to submit for an urban B&W challenge. No matter what I do in post-processing the full colour version, it turns out much worse.

Thanks for sharing these.
The flower and the street shot show a keen eye for composition.

Wait a couple of years to see what the family portrait does.
It simply stops the time, that is what these portraits do.

On a nice day, visiting NYC, and had a chance to have a nice day for some photography. 15mm, NYC Freedom Tour, overlooking one of the reflecting pool. My favorite for the year...

You are very welcome. This is my only opportunity to show my photos to strangers; to get feedback is especially appreciated.

I like the Red Cross truck, could almost smell the sausages the ladies are frying.
Great picture.

I just reviewed my Flickr Cameral Roll by the year - made this "top ten" split into monochrome and color... Not necesarily the "best" work, but I do enjoy looking at these and they have actual memories behind them.

Monochrome:











Color:











I might do another posting taking in consideration my flower/macro shots (it was a good year for me in that spectrum)...

Cheers!

I did add to the opening post links to past years threads. It's probably interesting to look back and see who was around the Forums then...
