Your favourite photo of 2018 (taken by you), and why

[Swift1]

Yes, this one is extraordinary. Stephen Shore would have been happy to have taken this one. The colour is wonderful and the light but the birds and bonnet (hood, sorry) take it to another level.

Thank you for such kind words

My aunt and, in the background, my daughter at a family wedding. I just love the expressons of joy and happiness.

Thank you very much for this great thread Lynn!

There are so GREAT pictures... it's a big pleasure to read/see it.

Here you have the one I have selected to this thread. I made this portrait one week ago.

I love this portrait because it is so special for me to see my wife and my daughter so happy. Maybe (surely) I have some photographs that are "better" technically, or maybe more interesting for people that isn't from my family... but today I feel this portrait is the best picture I made in 2018.

Bronica EC + Nikkor-P 75mm 2.8 + Ilford HP5 Plus [1250ASA]

I like that portrait too. I love the off center with the square format (plus there is a lot of warmth in this image). Your daughter and I have the same style glasses.

My sister-in-law Dolores and her new daughter-in-law Tammi. Besides my wife, Dolores is the most favorite woman in my life, and I think that this photo captures her spirit perfectly.

Probably this one, from November on a trip to Japan. This was in taken in Osaka, off Dotonburi street.

It's my favourite because it takes me back there. And it was the first time I'd used my Yashica 635 at night. Worked extremely well! Shot with Fuji Pro 400H.

After not touching a camera for 4 years, in 2018 was the time to return to photography.

One of the first shots of 2018, remind me something I should not forget:
photographs are everywhere.

I'd have to say this one;

Living History Weekend in the Memorial Museum Passchendaele
Kodak Auto Graflex, Ross 7-1/4" Xpress lens, Fomapan 100

Because taking historical images with 100-year-old cameras is fun.

Probably this one, an "accidental" HDR.

The light was dimming so for some reason I set the camera to auto-bracket so I would be more likely to nail the exposure.

When I got home and looked at them, I figured what the {expletive} and tried loading them into Luminance HDR to see what would happen, and it "worked", or so I think.

I was shooting my first roll with recently acquired camera and lens together with my favorite film stock when this couple with child appeared.
