now to lower the level my 12

very quiet start to the year, so have just picked 12 that i have enjoyed either in the taking or the processing and at the end of the day a hobby is for enjoyment i think.

1. A derelict factory/warehouse in Gloucester that i have photographed a few times, felt it needed a sombre treatment



2. Playing with Balloons and Water,messy but fun



3. These two struck a pose i could not ignore



4. Groynes at Porlock in Somerset, my first serious use of my 10 stop filter



5. This little dog gave it everything at a show for the local dog/cat home



6. Lynmouth Devon one of my favourite holiday locations for sheer peace and quiet



7. The Supermoon from July, a rare outing for the 170-500



8. This was a shot i used in my Project 52 for "Night Lights" , came out better than expected for 2s exposure as the train had just started moving



9. Anothe for the Project, "Wire Wool", took a few attempts but got it to light in the end



10. This was processed in PcMonkey to get a softer look to the lighting



11.Always liked this little lane in Stroud, sadly the pub has now closed



12. This was a wild night but i am glad i decided to have a go at something i had never done or i would have missed this amazing sight



hope you enjoy my efforts

Another excellent set of images!

Great diversity, Joe, and parallel quality.

thanks very much, a bit more proific this year hopefully as i am doing a 365 , i lost interest a bit last year though did manage to complete my 52 project

A great range of subjects and really competently photographed. Numbers 1 and 10 for me - completely different images but striking for me. Well done.

A most enjoyable and well photographed set. Wide subject range with a creditable variety of picture styles.

These are superb! The 2nd one (balloon shot) shows great technique, and no1 stands out for me

thanks very much for the comments, must admit it is nice when something you enjoy is also enjoyed by others.

Great variety, no need for the humility.

I do not think your lowering the level here great pics

This is exactly what I wanted to convey ... thanks Andrew for putting it so well. Well done Joe with this great showcasing of your photographic year! Favourites for me are 6, 7 & 10.

Lots of good stuff... As others have said, great variety... 5 is hilarious, and very well spotted... But also like the derelict warehouse, the balloon, the wire wool and Lynmouth... Lots of them, in fact...

Best

Others have already said it but the variety of these shots is excellent. Love the cattle having an argument, the wee dog at the show and the night time shot in Lynmouth.

I'm now just about run out of things to say, yet another great set, can't decide on a fav but Lynmouth, Night Lights and #10 float my boat.
