Best of 2008.

So the other day I saw a post from a fellow photographer of his best photos of 2008. So I decided to try the same thing. Then I realized that I have only had my D80 since April of 2008, not even a year! So I have gone through my photos from these past 8 months or so and this is what I came up with. Hope you like.

Favorite Portrait of '08

Nikon D80, 1/100 sec, f/5.6, ISO 500

So I think that this is my best portrait of '08, taking the day I got my new SB-600 flash and a big thanks to my now ex-girlfriend for putting up with me wanting to take some good photos of her.

Favorite Photowalking Image of '08

A little bit of color.
Nikon D80, 1/25 sec, f/4, ISO 250

Taking at my one and only photowalk of the year this photo really grew on me. I got really into colorization a while ago and I found that colorizing the red ring around the wheel added a lot of character to the shot.

Favorite HDR of '08

HDR of the Pier.
Nikon D80, f/8, ISO 100, HDR Blended with Photomatix Pro.

This shot, which was taking on a trip to California right before Christmas, soon became my favorite HDR of '08, now there is a runner up to this which was a very very first HDR which I still love.
