Every year I go back through the images I’ve taken and pick a selection of images that are my favorites from that year.  It helps to go through and see how my photography has progressed and to put a sort of ‘mini portfolio’ of the year together.  I’ve been really happy with the shots I’ve gotten this year, and it was very hard to narrow down my favorites from the year.  My initial cull brought me to 66 images, but I then further narrowed it to just 25 shots to present here.  There’s a wide variety of gear used, as many things were taken while I was reviewing equipment, showing that it’s really not the gear that matters in getting the shot, it’s simply your vision and your ability to record that light in the best way possible. Please note that these may not be my ‘best’ photos of 2015, but rather these are my favorite photos I took this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you’ve enjoyed the site this past year.  We’ll have lots of great things coming up in 2016!  Enjoy!  Click on an image to enlarge.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
