Hey everyone, sorry I'm late with this thread. I wanted to start it on new years eve but forgot since I was at the game in Tampa. Anyways, I wanted to get a thread going for everyone to post their top photos of the year 2017 in. I know we have a Photography thread but I haven't seen it pop up in months so figured it died a bit. Thought a yearly thread like this would be cool. Everyone is welcome to post their top photos of the year. They can be taken by any camera from a phone to a pro camera. Looking forward to seeing everyone's photos! I'll start with a couple I did from a wedding on December 23rd, 2017. Photos taken at The Greystone venue in Mandeville, LA.

Great shots! I love your color grading.


I haven't gotten to take much lately, but this is one from this fall that I just now got around to. I'm still trying to get comfortable editing, but this is at least a start.

Love those. The couple must have been really happy with them!

Great shot. I really like the composition and the subtlety in the colours there.

I haven't been taking that much last year either, apart from photos of my baby son, and I'm not going to go overboard with sharing those (I think some of them are pretty good, but I'm well aware it's hard to be objective with photos of your children). So this is one I took in July of Burgh Island and Bigbury beach in South Devon, on the south coast of England. It was a beautiful hot day (one of the best we had here last year), and it's a striking location:

<a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/arathrael/39705356031/in/photostream/" title="Burgh Island"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4671/39705356031_a6e3662c07_z.jpg" width="640" height="360" alt="Burgh Island"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

And I will share this particular one of my son, which isn't the best, but it's maybe the most appropriate here, and a reminder of what a good season it's been despite the painful end to it yesterday. I was able to go and see the Saints beat the Dolphins at Wembley Stadium in October. Fox was a bit young to go with me, but I picked him up a personalised cap, and I was able to meet Lance Moore and get it signed for him too. He looks good in it if you ask me. :)

Nice shots! Yea they were very happy!
 
I shared this one in the photography thread, but it's the jewel of 2017 for me. I took it in July in Wyoming. We were up before daybreak to get the shot. It was my 3rd time trying given weather conditions in my previous trips. The moose walked in and made it perfect.

And this is my 10 week old for her 2 month photos. My wife actually took the photo but I processed it. :) It may not be interesting to others and I'm aware of that. And I guess it was taken in 2018...but I've got to share! ;)

As far as quality goes it's just a cell phone pic but this was my favorite. I don't take many photos at all.

This was from a helicopter after Harvey in Port Arthur, Tx.

I am certainly no photographer and my camera doesn't take the greatest pictures, but mine can fly :)

'bout time I appeared in a photo thread (not literally, obviously). Highlights from 2017:


The Quiraing on Skye - about the only good weather day we had in two weeks, and I had to get up early for this shot.

The 2017 British Superbikes at Oulton Park in Cheshire. First time there, but an instant favourite; the racing is very competitive, and it's a circuit where you can get close to the action.

The Goodwood Revival - Ferraris and E-Types racing into the evening:

Goodwood again - nothing beats racing a priceless '60s formula one car round a fast track in torrential rain. "Glorious Goodwood", in case you were wondering, refers to the horse racing meeting:

These are fantastic. Congrats!
