So the Best Photos of 2012 are......

Thank you to the people who voted this year in the Best Photos of 2012, we had 112 of you! That is an amazing effort. Through here, FB and via email as well. It really is nice when people like the photos you take. I was surprised by what was popular and what wasn't, it just goes to show it is hard to predict the public reaction to images.

This years top two photos are as seen below:

Old world ways. Krakow, Poland.

Pattern Platform.Hackescher Markt S-Bahn Berlin, Germany.

Again, I really appreciate all who voted and look forward to your comments, requests, questions and interaction in the future. If anyone wants a photos shoot, I might even do that too.
Congratulations to Ewa. Z. the randomly selected winner of the mystery prize!

Best Black and White Photos of 2012

Every year I like to put up what I think are my best Black and White (and colour in another post) photographs. People then vote for their favourites and then we compile a top ten of the most liked photos.

The task is pretty simple, just flick through the photos below and add a comment at the bottom to give your vote for which is your favourite or favourites (as you can, of course, like more than one) and then I tally them up and the winners announced in a glittering red carpet ceremony.  Or due to the fact I own no carpet, I will probably just put them on here, and am thinking I might make a calendar of the best photographs.

For the last 3 years I had selected randomly a voter for a special prize, so I shall do it again this year. So, have a look, let me know and maybe you could win too. So here they are and in no particular order.......
