If you’ve been around this site for a while, you’ll know that every year I like to go through the images I’ve taken throughout the year and pick out some favorites to share. These aren’t always my best photos, but the ones that I personally like the best throughout the year. This year was one of change, as I fully switched to the Canon RF mount from Sony early in the year. Aside from the new gear, it was definitely a year of fits and starts. I’d have a string of photos I really enjoyed, then a drought, then another good stretch, and another drought. So it often goes with photography. The highlight of the year photographically was a trip to Seattle in August, where I had a chance to see the city and also do a small amount of shooting in Olympic National Park. I hope I will get to do a bit more travel in 2022. Anyway, here are a selection of 25 of my favorites that I took in 2021, presented in chronological order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
