Over the past couple of years some of us have posted about a dozen of our favourite pictures from the previous 12 months each New Year. Why don't you treat us all to your select pictures from 2016 in January?

And I'll take up Davidtrouts suggestion of an end of year post of my favourites.

Short version for if you don't like long, rambling, self-indulgent posts: After getting going with photography as a hobby six years ago, with PentaxUser kicking it all off for me, 2016 has been easily my most enjoyable photographic year. Been great! So thanks PentaxUser folk for all the info and fun I've picked up from you over the years.
Longer version: I had a really lean photographic year in 2015, partly as in my work life I took on an all-consuming job, partly just a bit of losing my photographic mojo. So about a year ago I decided I really needed to make sure I protected some time for photography, and also try some new things.
So, some things I did in 2016:
I decided to spend some of the cash I might have spent on shiny new kit on going on a photography workshop or two. And I really enjoyed them. No K1 for me this year then, but a couple of weekends spent with other, more experienced landscape photographers have introduced me to different ways of working and thinking, and I think have really upped my game . And they were great fun
I've discovered the joys of landscape images in portrait format. Why didn't I do more of this before
I've also experimented with different cameras, having up this year really only used Pentax DSLRs. I got a Ricoh GR (yes, I didn't manage to stop all kit purchases
Decided to use Flickr for my best images, trying to self censor a bit more, limit the postings and improve the quality control, focusing on my landscape photography. Flickr explore might be a shallow, largely ransom algorithm, but I've secretly enjoyed seeing the exposure some of my images have had. Harmless fun
I'm hoping next year will be just as interesting
So, an indulgent post, but a happy one for a 1000th. Best wishes to all here.. hope you had a good year of photography too
