Your best picture from 2008

Not for all of us. Look at my photos and find 'family'. No, they do not exist.

Where are Henri Cartier-Bresson's family photos? Or Martin Parr's? Or Lise Sarfati's? And so on.

Don't misunderstand me, Jon. I'm not saying family is the only thing worth photographing, and most of my posted photos are definitely NOT family, but if photography is (among other things) about recording memories, then family must rate up there near the top (and I'm sure HCB and the other greats took plenty of photos of family and friends - perhaps they just chose not to show them).
 
R-D1s with CV 40mm SC. Actually two pictures melted together in photoshop to get the panorama.

Great stuff. Here's a couple I posted this (last?) year that I liked - couldn't decide which I liked best...

Tuna

P.S. - Maybe that last one is all about "family"...

These three are some of my favorites, they were taken the first day I got the Hexanon 50/1.2. I took a lot of photos this year so the choice is difficult.

This one from me, I have tried to get a shot of this location a number of times in the past but something was always not quite right - but I was really pleased with this one taken a few months ago

Maybe this one is the purdyist of my photos

(Although I boosted the saturation, tweaked contrast and sharpened this picture in Photoshop, every thing including reflections are real.)

OK One more (I really cannot choose between them.) The second one shot with a Leica M4P and 35mm Summicron. It was actually taken a few years ago but this version which I really like, was post processed in PS only a few weeks ago so I think it qualifies.

This is one of the most outstanding examples of capturing a moment I've ever seen. The framing of the canidate around the participant's arm in the foreground, the partipant's gesture in itself, the banner on the rignt, and the crowd, all combine to make a compelling image, regardless of your political persuasion. Extremely well done!
 
My fave two of 2008:

Rubik's Bokeh: M6, 75mm summilux, TriX, Rodinal

All for One and One for All: M6, 50mm summilux, HP5+, Rodinal
