Every year I look back at the photos I’ve taken and assemble a collection of my favorites. Not all my favorites make the cut, and these may not be the very best photos I took during the year, but they are a selection that I like the most, for whatever reason. When I looked back on the images I took this year, several from earlier in the year seem like they were taken ages ago, as the pandemic has really messed with my perception of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did not write a whole lot this year, with a paltry 8 articles written on the site during 2020 (though this will make two in 2021 in the span of two days!). A lot of that was due to being busy with things at work and home, and by the end of the day the motivation to write was just not particularly there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did, however, get out to shoot moderately regularly, and I looking back through my images, I was actually quite pleased with the photos I got this year, despite being essentially stuck in Ohio the entire year. I’ve got a large backlog of reviews to get through (I have at least 8 lenses that I have tested that I have not yet written the reviews for yet), and hope to knock through those fairly quickly here at the beginning of the year. I also dabbled a bit with film this year for the first time in a long while, and I am going to try to write an article on that at some point coming up as well. One of those images is included here as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will also notice that I’ve been using and testing a lot more from the Canon RF system, and that will continue, as I’ve been very taken with what Canon has done in such a short time in the mirrorless world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, without further ado, here are 25 photos from 2020, in chronological order. Click on any image to enlarge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
