January: Blyth Pier by , on Flickr February: I've already shared my aurora pics a few times. So here's something Different Newcastle Civic Centre by , on Flickr March: Steam Train by , on Flickr April: Not the sharp enough to enter into a camera club competition, but its still one of my favourites from the year Bank Vole by , on Flickr May: So much to choose from in May. I did go to Bempton Cliffs and rather than the usual gannet, I thought I'd share this one Kittiwake by , on Flickr June: Again, loads to choose from and I've just recently shared my favourite bearded tit shot. I do have to share at least one kingfisher from the year. When I originally posted this it was mentioned that it was skinny. In fact he's not skinny at all. He's just having a stretch Kingfisher by , on Flickr July: Attended my first airshow. Took more pictures in a single day then ever before, or since. The hairs stood up on the back of my neck when the Lancaster, Hurricane and Spitfire went past Battle of Britain Memorial Flight by , on Flickr August: Also had to have at least one squirrel shot Little Red by , on Flickr September: Only got out the once. A trip to Newcastle. Still I came across a different HDR technique, which works well on the street lamps Newcastle/Gateshead quayside by , on Flickr October: Again not out hardly. But lucky enough to go to the local boxing club Glove Training by , on Flickr November: Only got out once this month. To Lindisfarne. A drab morning. Just flat and grey. Not even any definition in the cloud. However, just as I was sitting on a bench phoning a mate to say he did the best thing staying in bed, the sun peeped through. I posted this on another forum and it got slated by some. Shouldn't have bothered. The light was crap. Should have left the camera in the bag, instead of faking a starburst. As it happens I faked nothing. I stopped the 12-24 down to f13 and shot into the sun. I like it anyway Lindisfarne Boat by , on Flickr December: Been out loads over the holidays, making up for the lean months. I recently posted a couple of pics of St. Mary's. One Long Exposure and one which showed some movement. The horizon on both is off slightly. I corrected them both and sent them to the printers yesterday. See which one I prefer when they come back. Anyway, here's one of them (pre horizon correction) St. Mary's by , on Flickr

A very excellent set Alan, it's nice to see such variety. I like the Kittiwake shot, it has made me think about re-visiting some that I took of this species at Bempton in June. The squirrel is also a stand-out as is the Kingfisher, but they are all terrific.
