As with the other “pre-2015” favorite 5 posts, this one was made after the fact.  I’ve started enjoying my Favorite 5 posts so much that I’ve gone back and created them all the way back to 2010, just so I can have a record of it.  Hope you enjoy!

The Charles Bridge

This picture remains one of my all-time favorites.  There is just something about the Charles Bridge in Prague that screams “Europe”, and I love this capture of it.  This particular image is a remastering of the original one I posted, as I’ve learned some new tricks with my photo editing.  I also included the lamp on the left in this version, whereas I cropped it out originally (I hated that the light was out at first, but now I kind of like the balance it gives with the lamp on the right).

Fun with Light

As I mentioned in my original post, this is what happens when you go somewhere to shoot the stars… and the fog is so thick you can’t see them!  I really like this image just because it’s different.  I like the colors and the light, and it was a lot of fun to create.

The Solitary Tree

I’ve referred to this as my “second favorite tree” for years (with “the tree” being the first), but I think if I’m honest, this one is actually my favorite.  I seem to take more pictures of it these days anyway!  Original post here

The Tree Frog

Hey, what can I say? I like frogs!  This was a fun one to shoot, and as I said in the original post, this wasn’t my favorite at first… but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and now its one of my favorite 5 shots of the year!

The F430

You don’t have to hang around long to discover that I love cars, and I love photographing them (though I don’t do it all that often).  This was a really fun car to shoot, and well… it’s a Ferrari, so you know I love it.  🙂  Original post here
