Your Best of 2010

[GoofyontheHiSeas]

Well since we are all done with the holidays and have started a new year it is time to take one final look back at 2010. This was fun last year so I thought we should carry on the tradition. This was quite difficult looking back over the numerous shots taken from 2010 to pick just 12 but it was enlightening to see your progress over the year. So here are the rules from last year.
Post one picture from each month if you have them. If you don't have one from each month just post 12 of your favorites from the year. Keep them to photos shot in '09. These may not be my best technical shots but the ones that mean the most.

January: This started the year off well with my first usable capture of the Hitchhiking Ghost in HM.

February: I realized that this was a very slow month for pictures.

March: I wanted to do more shots with my tripod this year. Did not happen enough so I will try again this year.

All great shots!

I got most of the months covered but didn't have one actually shot in each of the 12 months so I picked 12 of my favorites for the year.

Here goes:

Shot in January at Gifford Pinchot State Park

January:

This was probably my favorite from the month. Mainly because of the story associated with it (click pic).

February:

A shot I took of the TV (if that counts). But that's me to the right of the little girl; probably looking at my camera. This was one of the commercials for ESPN the Weekend. :cool1:

March:

Tough month to choice my favorite from. This was from my first tripod outing at Magic Kingdom. I now see why many people LOVE shooting the parks at night. The pictures are just amazing.

April:

Space Shuttle Discovery Night Launch. This was taken from the parking lot right outside of my apartment building. I was lucky enough to have other interesting elements in the shot (building... cars coming and going... etc.). Let alone being happy I was able to pull off a shot that you can't just do over.

May:

For this, I was determined to show what it's sort of like to wait for Autograph FastPasses during Star Wars Weekends.

June:

I was kinda hoping the TV image would've came out clear. But I like how the bright white really gives this a Twilight Zone feel. I purposely stood at the back to attempt this one.

July:

Although I was really happy with my Wizarding World of Harry Potter pics from this month; it's just something about this pic from back home (VA Beach) that I really love.

August:

I have hardly any pics from this month, so this was an easy decision.

September:

Saw this little guy right outside my front door, so I decided to grab the camera. I was VERY surprised how this eventually turned out.

Oooh. I want to play. Now I don't have one exactly from every month, but here are my favorite 12.

January - Not really a favorite from this month (I'm already deviating from the shot of the month), so here's one I shot in March at MK.

http://jriceco.smugmug.com/Photography/HDR-Photos/MagicKingdomb/809555901_8N6DR-L-1.jpg

February - We had one of the biggest snows ever in this part of Texas in 2010. Here's our neighbors house across the street.

http://jriceco.smugmug.com/Photography/HDR-Photos/Winter-2010-In-Grapevine/795700611_Jc5zV-L-1.jpg

March - My first solo trip to WDW, so I had lots of time to just walk around and shoot. Here's one of the Liberty Belle that I really like.

http://jriceco.smugmug.com/Photography/HDR-Photos/RiverBoata/808348579_vWjMe-L-1.jpg

April - Not a favorite from this month, so here's one of my daughter's best friends. She's a drum major and I caught this image of her just before she went on the field. I really like the quiet determination in her demeanor.

http://jriceco.smugmug.com/School/Grapevine-High-School/GHS-Band-2010-145/1050425335_freqD-L.jpg

May - I shoot a lot in my hometown of Grapevine. Here is one of my all-time favorites.

http://jriceco.smugmug.com/Photography/HDR-Photos/Grpv-Train-Depot-5-1-10/854584598_8jE6e-L-1.jpg

June - This one is from July and our family trip to Oregon and Washington. This is a shot from Ecola State Park on the Oregon Coast. It's a beautiful place, especially when the fog roles in.

http://jriceco.smugmug.com/Photography/HDR-Photos/Cannon-Beachtonemapped/961757371_edZpS-L.jpg

July - Another photo from our West Coast trip. Got to shoot this from the roof of our hotel in Seattle.

http://jriceco.smugmug.com/Photography/HDR-Photos/DSC012432tonemapped/939067637_TBPKL-L.jpg

August - Got the chance to shoot inside a Fort Worth instution - The Railhead Head Smokehouse.

http://jriceco.smugmug.com/Photography/HDR-Photos/Railhead-BarHDR2/983665939_SHRZU-L.jpg

September - Another shot not taken in the month. This one is from October and from the train yard in Grapevine. I like the sun and reflection of this shot a lot.

http://jriceco.smugmug.com/Photography/HDR-Photos/Control-Room-4/1063643632_Fc8ju-L.jpg

October - One of my favorites from the Fort Worth zoo.

http://jriceco.smugmug.com/Nature/Nature/Control-Room/1066605016_p6TXs-L.jpg

November - This was the only good shot I got the whole night at the Grapevines Christmas Parade. Don't know who the he is, but this little guy entertained all of us that night. He made the evening for me.

December - We took our nieces on their very first trip to WDW. It was also their first flight. I took a ton of pictures, but this shot of them with my daughter is my favorite.

July: My oldest DD was awarded her Silver Award in Girl Scouts.

Just wanted to congratulate your daughter on earning her Silver Award! This is harder to earn than the Eagle Scout for boys (which my son earned) and rarely gets the same recognition. I was a Girl Scout and I think this is a great honor. Congratulations to your beautiful daughter and your family!!!

All great shots!

Thank you! I think all of the shots are great. It is fun to look back over the year and realize how much we have forgotten, well at least at my age.

Just wanted to congratulate your daughter on earning her Silver Award! This is harder to earn than the Eagle Scout for boys (which my son earned) and rarely gets the same recognition. I was a Girl Scout and I think this is a great honor. Congratulations to your beautiful daughter and your family!!!
Kathy

Thank you, I will pass that along to her. We have been very proud of her for continuing this far. We are trying to get her to pursue her gold award after a short break.

I just finished reading "The Protectors War" today. Nice Picture.

Thanks! I was reading it at the time I took the photo. I am now on the waiting list to get High King of Montival from the local library.

Thank you, I will pass that along to her. We have been very proud of her for continuing this far. We are trying to get her to pursue her gold award after a short break.

i got my gold award in 2000. it was a ton of work (we had 3 girls in our troop at the time), but i like to think that it helped get me into the college that i wanted to go to! i think what pushed us to do it was when a girl in our troop told us that her sister got a job out of college after her employer saw that she had received a gold award. not many people know about it, but it definitely can help in the future!

[MarkBarbieri]

These things are always hard. My pictures tend to clump. I have a couple of really good vacations with lots of nice shots, some studio shots with lots of nice shots, a few other outings with some good shots, and lots of time passes with nothing worth sharing. I'll make it fit the best I can.
