Every year I like to start off by providing a roadmap of inspiration for myself and those that read my blog by compiling a list of great photos from my blog readers. I am very thankful to everyone that takes part as their enthusiasm has enabled me to turn this into a tradition that is now on its 9th year. It is amazing to think that so many people have embraced this and find it as invigorating as I do. Thank you! If you’re just discovering my Best of Photos project you’ll find in the list below very talented and passionate photographers of all skill levels. Participants span a spectrum of skill level from hobbyists to professionals and cover a wide variety of genres including landscape, macro, nature, photojournalism, portraiture, event, wildlife, fine art photography and more. Some names you’ll recognize as being famous and others you won’t. I invite you to visit each link below as I have and introduce yourself to many of the participating photographers.
If you’d like to take part next year and be informed when submissions open for the “Best Photos of 2016? blog project add your name to my mail list. You won’t be spammed. I send out newsletters quite infrequently.
Thank to everyone who took part! I hope reviewing your best photos of the year and comparing them to years pasts keeps you inspired and aware of your progress as a photographer.
