It's that time of the year. What were your best images of the year? Lets keep it to the top 5. I'll start it off.
The first two are with my Leica M 240 & the Nikkor 50/1.4 I believe. The other three are with the K-5 and the 20-40 Limited.

2024 has been a good year for me - photographically speaking. I selected the following 5 - i could add plently of honorable mentions too. Most taken with Nikons (F4, F5) except of the sunbathing lady which is shot with an OM-2n.

These are the three that went on the wall yesterday (I get better holiday snaps by going to better places!).

As it won't let me put more than 3 Flickr links in...
Have I taken 5? Well, this is the one where I figured I'd finally just about nailed Caffenol-C-L:

And I just like this one. No particular technical merit, I just like it.

I don't know if these are the best but I have fond memories shooting them. I also played around with color more than I have in years. I purchased a Camp Snap digital toy camera and had a lot of fun with it. The color shots are from that camera. In no particular order.

Like Dickens said, best of times/worst of times. That has been 2024. Stepping away from the worst, I had a few photos I continue to like based on varied and sundry reasons.
First off, Dog In Traffic.
Nikon D700, 25/2.8 Zeiss Distagon ZF.2 lens.
A group of kids after school waiting to cross the street. Typical youngsters of this age, each involved in their own lives and oblivious to the world.
Fuji X-Pro2, Voigtländer 28/2 Ultron (version 1) lens.
Christie confronted by the doggie in the window and a fat old man who looks a lot like her dad.
Fuji X-Pro2, Voigtländer 28/2 Ultron (version one) lens.
I spend a lot of time waiting in places. This lady looks a little perturbed by all the noise and activity behind her. But she endured.
Nikon Z5, Voigtländer 40/1.4 Nockton Classic SC lens.
I don't know what these ladies were discussing but they apparently didn't like the subject very much.
Nikon Z5, Carl Zeiss 35/2 Biogon ZM lens.
This lady appeared to have some serious problems.

No matter what happens, it's nothing a good nap can't cure.
Nikon D700, Carl Zeiss 50/1.4 Planar ZF.2 lens.
A great live oak in a neighbor's yard. With a little help from software, a wide lens and square format:
Nikon Z5, Voigtländer 15/4.5 SW Heliar lens.

Been looking through mine and I think that I’ve looked at them too much and need to distance myself from them for a while - however this is probably my favourite of the year, don’t think I’ve shown it before
and need to get it printed up

There's a few photos I've taken this year which I really love for various reasons, but when I think about "the best", this one stands out more than any other for me.

I don’t know that these five photos are the “best” of mine in 2024, but they please me.
