Every year, I like to take a look back at the photos I took throughout the last 12 months and see how things have progressed. 2016 was an incredibly busy year for me outside of photography, as many of you may have noticed. I am sorry that I have been so thin on reviews the past 6 months, but I’ve been swamped at work and home, with limited time to shoot and write. That said, I was quite pleased with my photography this past year, despite more limited shooting time, and managed what I feel is one of my best photos ever this past fall. So, here’s a selection of my favorites I took this year, starting with my top image (the rest are in no specific order). I hope you enjoy!

It’s a pleasure to read a camera website by someone who is also a great photographer. Your Gulf of Mexico picture is an absolute stunner.
Hi, and thanks for sharing this collection of 2016 images. Your image of Gulf of Mexico is outstanding. And the giraffe reaching, was laugh out loud! Cheers.
Outstanding selection. Interestingly, you created 20 of these photographs with the Sony A7II and an assortment of lenses. Always enjoy your work here. Thank you for sharing your opinions and creations! Hope to see many more in the year to come.
I moved to Columbus recently and feel lucky to have found your excellent site which I enjoy thoroughly. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your photos too!
I was determined to minimise any mft kit I acquired…but…dammit, this thing is Dirty
Till now been using this model with various type of lenses for experimental photography and the outputs are great
Image in eye of photographer. I have several Sony alpha cameras, but will *never* part with my Canon DSLR 5D…
Great review. I had one as well and moved up to an XSI. Very underrated sensors as I think both…
A lot of nostalgia. This was my first body as well. Used with Tamron 17-50 🙂
