2007 The Year in Review

jeffreaux2 · December 23, 2007

Here is a slide show of some of my favorite shots this past year. Hopefully you guys/gals will follow up with your favorite shots.

Enjoy.....and....Happy New Year!!!

Favorites 2007

There is a place for comments on my blog, I would rather see some of YOUR favorites below!!!

A smugmug slideshow can be set up at your site to look like this.

Also, it is possible to create a slideshow in an HTML only smugmug page like this. If you need help figuring out how to do that, send a PM.

So there you have three different ways to share a portfolio of your best from 2007.....so....no excuses!!!

Jeff,

Thanks for putting that together for all of us to view. I thoroughly enjoyed it. You really do some great work. The composition, lighting, expressions, all of it is wonderful.

Great photos. I really enjoyed viewing them. As ussual your pp is so cool and you have a lot of diversity in these shots.

It will be awhile before I have a chance to share if I do. You and Jeff are a hard act to follow.

kp-pix · December 24, 2007

Great, great images guys. Really enjoyed the visuals and look forward to some more shows from others

Jeff, I was going to comment on your blog, but the film strip was blocking the comments thingie. Love your use of lighting, your baby shots 'rock' - great stuff!

Wonderful Galleries
Thanks for sharing! Really sweet!

Here's mine:

Guess I don't know how to label it and make it a hot link

Scott_Quier · December 24, 2007

I'll play...
This was an interesting exercise. I didn't realize how many of my photos I actually liked.

These are a mixture of shots from weddings, engagement session, portrait sessions, some from a class I took, and the odd landscape photo.

Take a look, my Best of 2007 and I hope you enjoy

great scott!-

or, uh....

great, scott!-

hey, I guess if you don't like your own photos, you need another hobby-

I obviously didn't know when to quit-

urbanaries · December 24, 2007

Awesome work guys!

Jeff, so many shots I forgot were yours. What a great year you've had!

George, it's been very interesting to see your processing evolve over time. That shot of you and your wife takes my breath away...wow!

David, you really are a master at the long exposures. Some fantastic landscape work I hadn't seen before. WOW!

Karen, I just love your style and timing and sense of humour.

And Scott, your lighting prowess is evident in every frame of your short but very sweet show! (Missed the groom bawling as the bride enters...that was one of my faves!)

What a fun year 2007 has been for me! I have learned SO MUCH this year from my awesome friends at dgrin.

These may not be the critic's choice, or my clients' choice, this is the one time I get to pick my favorites of '07.

Elaine · December 24, 2007

This has been great fun to review everyone's inspiring work! Some of it review, some of it new. I'm planning to play along, when I have time to get a gallery arranged. Thanks for sharing, everyone!

Lynne,

I went to your's. When I saw that you had 140+ photos in your favorites, I'm thinking, "She can't make up her mind!" But, there's not a looser in the whole bunch. You have been one very busy lady this year! Good on you!

Going through your gallery reminded me of a couple that I missed and so, I've included them (as well as the crying groom).

Thanks for the selection "inspiration" and the reminder about the crying groom.

I'll have a couple from the wedding I just did on 22 Dec, but I haven't even started to sort through them yet.

jeffreaux2 · December 24, 2007

WEll I have gotten several PMs from folks saying that they are trying to put something together to post in this thread.

All I can say is WOW.......just WOW to everything I have seen so far. There is definately some talent floating in and out of the DGRIN forum. Thanks to you all who have contributed so far. I am probably not the only one who will frequent this thread next year for inspiration and encouragement.

Keep 'Em Coming!!!!!

Here's mine. It isn't all of 2007. Apart from our June festival - the parade/street shots, I have only uploaded from August on. Still, I was going to do this review for myself, so happy someone else started it

These are my personal taste favourites, probably not my best, but to me they are anyhoot. What a great year! Thank goodness for photography!!

Have a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful Christmas all only 16 or so hours until Santa has to wake up and watch the ones who are older now lol unwrap!

Best of 2007

great shots karen-

I've already told you my favorite-

would you please tell your kids for me that they are most fortunate for the mom that they have-

System · December 24, 2007

just wonderful, lynne!-

I can't imagine any of your clients being displeased with what you did for them-

oh, and thanks for putting me on to jibjab!-

kp-pix · December 24, 2007

Ahhh so great. I love looking at images so much, this is a purely wicked indulgence!

anwmn1 · December 25, 2007

Wow- there is some amazing work on here. Seeing the quality of work that everyone puts out on a consistent basis has caused me to raise my game and become a better photographer this past year.

Thanks for starting and posting on this thread.

I put a slide show together of my best after looking through everyone else's work.

Best of 2007

kp-pix · December 25, 2007

WOW Aaron, you have some absolute gems in your show. Thanks so much for sharing and great work!

We should call this the 'WOW' thread. That word is popping up a lot!

This should get its own category for this time of year.

Llywellyn · December 25, 2007

What a neat idea, and how inspiring to see these collections from others. Thank you all for sharing!

Though this was a great year for me, my collection feels a bit small in comparison: Best of 2007

plestig · December 25, 2007

You all just amaze me. I'm in absolute awe everytime I see new photographs. I'm learning so much and you're setting a very high bar. Thanks for sharing!

Great stuff Kerry! I really have to say that the train at night, actually took my breath away. The dark black and white one. Love that. Great conversion!!!!!!! Most awesome, thanks for sharing.

What a great set! I loved "To Kill a King" and it was great seeing many shots of yours I'd never seen! loved the train station series and the one of the little girl in green. Just gorgeous Kerry!

Great stuff Kerry -

Liked the train station stuff and the zoom effect on the little girl in orange. Some very good work indeed.

eichert12 · December 26, 2007

Great photos! Thanks for sharing all.

Llywellyn · December 27, 2007

George, kp, Lynne, and Aaron - Thank you so much for the kind comments. I keep growing, and this forum has helped me immensely to stretch a little further this year. Encouragement like yours helps me keep trying. Your talents push me to try harder.

I was partial to the cat on the suitcase at the door. Amazing light....even though I am not known as a cat lover!!

Elaine · December 27, 2007

I'm finally somewhat ready to contribute. Here's a link to my favorite people shots of 2007. (I'm still working on pulling together my non-people shots, which I will have many more of.) You all are quite prolific...I'm feeling a bit self-conscious that so many of my shots are of my son and even a few are of me!

Ahh well...feel free to take a look! Happy clicking in 2008!

Some favorites of the non-people variety:

Those are awesome Elaine. You are a very talented photographer, and you've captured some memorable shots this year. I really liked the sillouttes at the beach, that grinning baby in his mother's lap, and most of the ones of your son.....but especially the one panned shot on the tire swing. That shot is absolutely stunning. I can't wait to see what that you and that Canon will give us next year.

An observation........you must feel like you are looking at a mirror when you look at that son of yours. He looks soooooo much like you!!!

Good job, and thank you for contributing to the thread. I have tagged it to come to for inspiration and ideas.
