2007 Highlights
Tue, 12/25/2007 - 13:36 — linda
This is my "best of" set from 2007. It felt like I didn't get a lot of opportunity for photography in 2007 so I don't feel like I grew much as a photographer, but it's always fun to get out with the camera.

2006 Highlights
Sun, 12/31/2006 - 16:23 — linda
I didn't have quite as many photographic opportunities in 2006 as in the last couple of years so I wasn't really sure if I was going to get very many good shots.
As it turned out, I did get a bunch I was happy with and I guess it was successful because I had a hard time limiting it to 20 photos. They ended up being largely concentrated into a few days. I guess that isn't too surprising since so much of the photography I did was more documentary than artistic.
I didn't accomplish my goal of getting more landscape shots in 2006. The opportunity never really presented itself so I guess that's going to carry over to 2007, but I'm reasonably happy that 20% of the shots came from days when I was just shooting what happened to be n front of me. I felt like I made the best of relatively limited chances to do photography.
Here's looking forward to 2007!

2005 Highlights
Sun, 12/04/2005 - 11:24 — linda
It's that time of year where I try to select my favorite photos from the previous year and collect them together. My goal this year was to select 20 or fewer photos which was a little stricter than the up to 30 I allowed myself last year. I found it hard to make the final choices.
Over the course of the year, I collect candidate shots and put them together in a directory. As I add to the directory throughout the year, I end up deleting some along the way but by the end of the year I had over 40 photos so I had to cut them down by more than half.
This year's crop is 1/5 butterfly photos and I really didn't want that many butterfly shots in the final set, but when I compared them to the other candidate shots throughout the year, I liked them better. So, though part of me wanted to be more representative of the different things I photographed throughout the year, these shots won out.
It's curious how many of these shots came from the same day. In three cases there are three shots selected from the same day and there are two shots that came from the same day. I'm not sure how much of this is me getting into a "photographic groove" on those particular days and how much si that I just didn't get quite as many opportunities to take photos in 2005.
One of the things I'm noticing is that I more frequently seem to prefer the detail shots to my landscape shots. I think I've developed my eye for those more so I think I'd like to work on my landscape shots a bit more for 2006.

2004 Highlights

This is my "best of" album for 2004.
This was another good year. I feel like I got some diverse shots that I lied. Here's looking forward to a great 2005!

2003 Highlights
Sun, 12/21/2003 - 14:30 — linda
This is my "best of" album for 2003. I think I improved a fair amount from 2002. At least it was a lot harder to weed out photos and make choices about which ones to show here.
