My 5 Favourite Images of 2017 and How to Find Yours

In the blog this week I take a look at my 5 favourite images from 2017.  I also tell you why you should find your 5 favourites and show you how. 

The How and Why

At the end of each year, I like to look back at the photographs I have taken.  This reminds me not only that I had some challenges with my photography, but also that I had some successes.  By putting these successful photographs into an annual collection it helps focus my mind for the following year and gives me plenty of inspiration and encouragement.

In the video below I share with you the process of how I select my 5 favourite images so that you can do the same.

 

My 5 Favourite Images of 2017

As with my image review from last year, this review has given me a lot of inspiration to take through into 2018.  I went out over 50 times with the camera in 2017 and drove over 6000 miles, and it was great to see all that effort wasn't wasted!

So which one of my 5 images was your favourite?  Have you gone through a similar process as well?  Let me know in the comments below.

My YouTube Channel - Update #1 for 2017

I haven't posted a new video to my YouTube channel in a while so I wanted to give you a quick update on where I am with the channel and my plans for 2017!

Happy New Year!

Firstly Happy New Year to you all.  I started this blog back in August 2016, and since then I've managed to maintain my goal of a new post every week.  It's hard work but it also encourages me to get out there with my camera more often which is rarely a bad thing!  

I've also received plenty of positive feedback and will continue to deliver new blog posts and content throughout 2017.  I've got plenty of ideas for new posts but I just need the British weather to be a bit more cooperative!  These winter months can be very restrictive.

My YouTube Channel

If you are a regular reader of my blog you will already know I've also got a YouTube channel. In 2016 I created the following videos:

It's been a couple of months since I last post a video on the channel, but it is far from abandoned!  Unfortunately, as is always the case with landscape photography in the UK, the weather has made it difficult to execute some of the video ideas I have.

Not to worry, I have rolled those ideas into my 2017 content plan and with any luck, I'll be back juggling cameras in the field again very soon.  I've posted a quick update video to my channel to keep my subscribers up to date but here it is for my blog readers.  

If you aren't already a subscriber or viewer why not check out my YouTube channel and even better why not subscribe.  Don't worry if you don't, I always post a blog article here with the video embedded so you won't miss out.

Is there anything you'd like to see from my YouTube channel?  If so I'd love to hear about it in the comments below.

Till next time!
