Top 10 Photos of 2008
My photography came a long way in 2008. I attribute it to the copious amount of time off from work which let me shoot during the week. I tried to shoot at least once a week, which led to me shooting more than ever before. This years Lightroom Catalog has close to 20,000 images in it ranging from landscapes to dance to fashion to artistic nudes. My gear got a significant upgrade this year as well. I upgraded from a 6MP D70 to a 12MP D300 and replaced my slow-focusing 80-200 2.8 lens with a sweet 80-200 2.8 AF-S.
Jim Goldstein over at his Landscape, Nature and Travel Photography blog posted a project to post your top 10 photos of the year. It was a tough pick, which left me with 45 best photos from 2008. I got it down to 10 photos with the help of my girlfriend and art director Kristin. I’ve also posted numbers 11-20 which didn’t make it to this list here.
My top 10 images from 2008 (in chronoligical order, I think):
Shot while doing a swimsuit shoot. I turned around and this is what it looked like. No retouching.
The great Lela Rae in Detroit. Natural light. One is on my fathers couch, the other on my mothers dining room table.
My friend Lindsay who came in last minute to model for Naked i Clothing.
Thankfully, this liquor store painted their building bright green:
Shot with 4′ fluorescent work lights:
