My 12 from 2014

What a fantastic selection posted, I fear mine do not have the same WOW factor but here goes anyway.

2014 for me has not been the best year I've ever had photographically and personally but I better join in the fun so here's a selection of last years activity (full exif in all the pics)

January saw me bandaged up like a mummy with Bullous Pemphigoid (and also recovering from a heart attack) but I did manage a few trips (with cut-off slippers) along to the woods nearby.



February; I finally got rid of the bandages and back to wearing shoes, felt good enough to do a studio shoot with Urszula (and Andrea).



March; On a road trip we stopped at this private chapel at Forgan, it was erected by Sir John Leng M.P. in 1895/97 in memory of his wife Dame Emily Leng.



April: Drip in the park.



May; A Kelpie.



June; A youngster.



July: A Puffin on The May Isle.



August; My cat Marvin (or starvin Marvin as he was called before we took him in).



September: Another take on the one in my gallery.



October; Tuscany with mine host Giulio.



November; My expectant niece and partner (was a boy in December)



December; My granddaughter on the beach.

Lots of variety and subject matter here... The shot of the bridge is hugely atmospheric... The Kelpie is an interesting conversion, nice light in the Chapel and Tuscany (esp foreground), and the portraits are striking too...

Best

I think the studio shot is my favourite.

For me, I love Sept and Oct. Light in the bridge shot is amazing and the Tuscany compo is spot-on.

November is the stand out image for me, then the Forth bridge. But the entire set has quality and is full of interest.

A nice varied set, the lighting contrast on the Nov portrait, and the forth bridge stand out for me too.

Good variety! I like the angle you have and the B&W of the kelpie - also the Bridge and your Tuscany shot is different to the usual bunch. Great stuff! Hope you have recovered somewhat from the heart attack?

Another very interesting and varied set of images. My two favourites are the Forth Bridge and the Tuscany image, dare I say it the Tuscany one is true to the Giulio style in terms of the composition, light and textures.
