Every year I like to go back and look at the photos I’ve taken and see how my photography has changed. \u00a0After a mediocre 2012<\/a>, I was very pleased with the work I produced in 2013<\/a>. 2014 continued that trend, and I made some of my all-time favorite images. \u00a0Here’s hoping for an even better 2015!<\/p>\n

I’d also like to thank all of you for coming to my site this year. \u00a02014 saw continued growth here at Admiring Light, pushing 2 million page views, which was over a 50% increase from last year. \u00a0I hope I was able to provide informative reviews and interesting articles that help you in your photographic endeavors. \u00a0I hope to have one more article finished tomorrow (though it may wait until just into the new year), recapping 2014 in the mirrorless industry and taking a look forward. \u00a0The first order of business in the new year? \u00a0In-depth reviews of the Sony Alpha A7 II, and the Sony FE 16-35mm f\/4 OSS. \u00a0I’ve got both coming in tomorrow for review, and will be putting them through the paces.<\/p>\n

Anyway, on to my favorite photos of the year, in no particular order. \u00a0These are my 20 personal favorites from 2014, so not necessarily my ‘best’ images of the year. \u00a0Keep on shooting in the new year!\u00a0Click on an image to enlarge.<\/em><\/p>\n
