Huh! Before I ever saw my sister’s comment, I decided I was voting for Lake Ontario Sunset.
I must say your new banner looks “cool!” (Forgive the pun!)
Nice idea, showing your favorites of the year. Mind if I steal it?

The banner is a reminder of where I was to begin this year. As is the first slide. Looks like it will be warmer when we bring in 2011.
Be my guest, Karma! Steal away.

Chalk another up for the sunset. It’s a one-image HDR, Terry.

As much as I love the sunset picture, which you know I love a lot, I have to say the best shot was at the national park. I’m not sure why, but that one just takes my breath away.

That’s an unexpected choice…which one? There are two from the park. Winter or Fall?

Such diversity – and so hard to choose! I’ll vote for Lake Ontario at Sunset, but Painted Canyon is breathing down its neck. Happy New Year, Scott.

Debating between Baseball and the Gorilla….also love the winter National Park…
But I’m sticking to Baseball. Because you caught a fleeting MOMENT…and you can see the action in the shot along with the focus on the items up front. And because it tells a story.

Thank you, Dawn. I do try to tell a story in many of my photos. I worked hard on that one in the field (yeah, pun intended) and in post.

Hi Scott, man you have some really great shots there. The clarity is superb.
I have a question for you. Do you normally use auto focus or do you do it manually?
I’m using a Canon EOS 550D and I used auto focus on several shots of a koala and I was pretty disappointed. Is it because furs puts the auto focus out as it’s too hard to lock onto something. I noticed on your shots of the panda and gorilla that the fur was really defined.
LikeLike
Sire, I use auto focus but have learned to use the different focus modes to get the best results. I am guessing your camera and you are disagreeing on what to focus on. Check your manual about the different focus modes your camera has.
Another reason might be camera shake. I would need to see the photos and their Exif data to get a bead on how they were taken.
LikeLike
I don’t think it’s camera shake, even at 52 I’m still pretty steady and I always make sure the shutter speed is fast enough to compensate for any slight movement if it was to happen.
Reckon I’ll have to play with it some more. Thanks for the advice.

I am not much of a photographer. Besides the shoot button, I am not sure of anything else, not to mention fumbling with manual settings.
But I know a good shot when I see one, and there are many here. My vote goes to Lake Ontario sunset. Looking forward to seeing more marvelous pics from you, Scott.

Scott – they are great shots all of them (and I’m sure all those you had to pick away were great shots too 😉 )
BUT: You know I’m a landscape-lover – so my favorite is the photo from Painted Canyon in Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
With that stunning portrait of the Male Gorilla sneaking in to a close second place – because one of my New Year wishes is to try to photograph portraits 🙂
Happy New year to you and your family!

I wish I could blame my computer’s spell checker on this one but I should have checked myself. The correct spelling is ‘duly noted’ and means the information received will get the attention and consideration it is due.
