Thanks for the Restrospectives

I want to say thanks to all who have put 2013 retrospectives up over the last week or so. It has been really inspiring to see such a volume of quality work from the folk on the forum, re-enthusing me to get out and take photographs a bit more during 2014... as 2013 was a lean year for various work and family reasons.

It's always a bit daunting to see exactly how high the standards are of our best photographers, but one of the great aspects of the site is the support and encouragement those of us with rather more, ahem, limited talents get from the site. Always something to learn from those who post here, so thanks all.

For what it's worth, here are the my 10 favourite photos from 2013. Couldn't make it to 12

1. Fence



2. Hope Valley Storm



3. Cave Dale



4. Arch Woods



5. Ystwyth



6. Temple



7. Towers



8. First ever proper bash at a long exposure



9. The Jetty



10. The Eastern Moors





ps. Two of these were taken on a really enjoyable Forum Meet last January. Thanks guys!

Firstly, thank you for the 'thanks' Tim! Secondly, thanks also to you for posting a great set of images; the two you refer to from the meet in January I remember well!

My favourite from this set is 'The Jetty', a lovely example of BW and long exposure.

Regards
David
