Very difficult to choose one so I have picked a favourite from each of my 'disciplines' :D

What a great thread. There are some stunning shots on here, some of which I saw at the time and really liked and some equally good that I haven't seen before.
Anyway this is mine. It came out exactly as I imagined it would which is a very rare thing.



Its not quite my favourite, that was taken with a group of friends on top of Dufton Pike, but that was on New Years Eve so missed out by 8 hours or so....

Cheers

I've had a very quiet year and have barely used my camera really, but this is my fave of the ones I did take

This is my favourite, but I only started in June so dont have that much to go by

 
As above have commented it's very hard to choose but the majority of my 2009 photos have been motoring related so I'm going to pick one of those.

I think this one could be one of my favs, I have several like this although with different cars but I think this pulls off the moody look best:-

I think the whole day that I was at Forbidden Corner made this photo my favourite

3 of my favourite shots of the year came in the one day
 
Good thread. I like these. I tend to come back to these and have them printed, which means they must be up there for me....

Another motorsports one from me:

This is one of my favourites. Out with the camera club on an urban shoot in Leicester.I was the only one without a tripod.Had to place the D50 on the bridge rail for the long exposure.It worked better than I expected.
 
Maybe not technically perfect, but it reminds me of a fantastic few days in Seville, and its my current desktop......... does look good full size on screen... honest .........

Another top thread by the way.

Dave ....
 
Well, mine has to be this...



Though I like this because it's one of my only shots that I have clearly pre-visualised before shooting, and was a reshoot from several weeks previously where I'd taken a shot, but could see what conditions I needed to better it, and waited til they presented themselves.

 
This one from me. Don't do lanscape normally but this was from our holiday at Kimmeridge.

I was going to sort through the 5,000 odd photo's of Landrovers but none can beat the sunset.
Some cracking photographs on here. The photo of the baby above say's it all for me..Beautiful 68lbs.
 
2009 has really been a life-changing year for me. I now finally understand what people mean when they say they have a passion for something. For me, it's photographing animals - and I plan to do so full time by 2015.

The picture I've linked to below is quite graphic and not pretty so don't look if you're easily upset. It's not a particularly good photo, but for me it represents the most rewarding work I've done through photography yet, which is volunteering as a photographer at an animal shelter.

http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=72562&cat=3722

The cat in the picture was dumped at the shelter. His owners couldn't (or wouldn't) pay for the surgery he needed for the cancer in his nose. He's now had the surgery and I'm recording his recovery, but a day will come when he's healed and ready to go. He's such a friendly, cuddly cat who loves people. I hope that someone will be able to look past his appearance and give him the home he deserves.
 
Wow :eek:

Thats stunning , must have been great to be there

Where is it ?

Have you tried a bigger crop ? loose the foreground grass and a lot of the sky

Most of you are complaining about how many there are to choose from.. unfortunately I don't have this problem as there's pretty much only one set I'm kind of happy with. Haven't been shooting a lot this year.. :(

well - there's some fantastic shots on here...

I'm really glad you've all posted them in this thread and now can't enter them in the December POTY competition :naughty:

Thanks very much! It was at Corfe Castle in Dorset. I have many different takes on it from that morning. Landscape and portrait. Maybe this one is more to your liking?

That second shot is one of my favourite places, Salen on the Isle of Mull. Painted this scene several times over the years. Glad to see the old trawlers are still there.

Love it :D

How much for a A4 print ? I would love that photo hanging on my wall

And Yes I am serious ;)
 
And I PM d you back ;)
 
I can't decide between the following 2. Neither are anywhere close to being my best shots of the year, but are a couple of my favourites.

#1 Martin Cohen of Nine Black Alps. I love the sillouhette of it. It was a difficult gig to shoot and this was taken very near the end from the side of the stage. This is the only shot that I've had printed for myself this year.

#2 Sam McTrusty of Twin Atlantic at Manchester's In The City event. Reminds me of a great weekend with some lovely people. And this is one shot where I actually vividly remember taking it.
