124 “Best Photos of 2009″ Blog Posts
 |
As is tradition at the conclusion of every year I review my year in photos and select my best photos and evaluate those that were near misses. How and why I do this was detailed in a DPS blog post I wrote roughly 1 year ago titled 10 Ways to Top Your Best 2008 Photographs. Continuing the tradition of this on my blog I invited my readers to share their Best Photos of 2009 in a blog project I regularly run. This year was amazing with 124 people taking part sharing not only what caught their eye in 2009, but what they felt reflected their very best work.

Editing is one of the toughest things a photographer can undertake and is often the hardest skill to learn. Before you get too far into 2010 be sure you take a moment to take stock of 2009, find your very best and share it with the world. Below are the 124 photographer who took part in my blog project. Enjoy perusing these photographers work and if you have a best of blog post or Flickr set add a link in the comments below for everyone to enjoy.

wow, it probably will take full year to check all photos in sites you listed till you release “Best Photos of 2010? :)
January 14th, 2010 at 7:20 am
gz all (:
January 14th, 2010 at 7:26 am
Oh my, this is going to take a while.
January 14th, 2010 at 8:28 am
I have my own Best of 2009 blog, although I think the ones you posted are much cooler. :D
January 14th, 2010 at 9:25 am
Jim, thanks both for including my “Favorites” page in your list and for your good work on assembling this exhaustive list… and for encouraging photographers to revisit and take stock of their work from the past year.

It’s these sort of posts that make me want to really learn this stuff. They are inspiring. I’ve had my DSLR for 2 weeks & I can hardly put it down! I don’t know how to really use it yet, but I’ll be damned if that stops me!
January 14th, 2010 at 9:46 am
@JonZenor Jonathan thanks for adding the link. I can see from your year end photo choices you have a solid appreciation for the outdoors. Great stuff. Keep exploring and have fun in 2010. I’m looking forward to see your equivalent post next year.

@Jim Goldstein – Thanks! :D

Feel free to leave me comments on any of my posts….
I’m looking forward to reading thru the sites posted on this list ! Thanks!

@daniel f
No don’t let that stop you, remember the camera doesn’t “see” the photograph, you do!
By taking photos, you learn what you can do better – it’s the only way. Click Away!

I bookmarked this post for the weekend – I think it will take some time to watch all those wonderful photos.
May I show my best photos, too?

I am one of those listed above and was glad I did so. Its been an interesting experience and has sure lead to increased traffic and exposure. I have to say I am not the best at networking but if any of you are looking to get noticed it certainly seems like the way to go.
Thanks again Jim for the opportunity.

To add to the gigantic list of 2009 awesomeness is my own humble “best of” post. http://jclossphoto.wordpress.com/2010/01/16/best-of-2009/ is my choices for my best from 2009, and something to compare to when the end of 2010 comes along.

Wow. An excellent list.
This brings to mind a suggestion. How about highlighting visited links with a different color? Would make going through these a lot easier.
