Lightbulb Project - Your best from 2009

Since 2010 is now upon us I thought it would be a good time for everyone to share some of their favorite images they took in 2009.

-Requirements
1. Only post your 4 favorite images
2. If you have some background story to the image please share
3. Image must have been taken during 2009

Ink in Water
Ink in Water #1
I really had a lot of fun making this image. I actually created a How To for this image which can be found here.

Chicago Waves

I took this during the 2009 Chicago Photowalk. I had a really great time on this photowalk and look forward to the one this year again. I remember laying down with the 100mm F2.8 macro lens just waiting for the waves to break to capture this image. I think the wait was worth it even if it was pretty cold outside near the lake.

Just Somebody

This was my first real photoshoot for someone. I had a lot of fun and learned a lot of things during this session. I'm looking forward to trying this out again now that I have strobes and light modifiers to work with this time around.

Richie Flying

This is my new cat Richie, he's a blast to play with. I had a lot of fun taking pictures that day with Angie and the Animals with my super wide white backdrop and strobes. Maybe this weekend I'll pull it out again and make some more images.


I can't wait to see what everyone else has been working on this year. Let's see it!

BTW: I found it very hard to select only 4 images, I'm sure you will as well.

I'm game! It's hard to pick just 4 favs but here are a variety of what I've done this past year.

Default My 2009

This one was a spur of the moment idea but knew what I wanted to try to capture.

Midnight Rain

I was in the right place at the right time for this one.

Sunrise Mist

I was surprised by and very fortunate enough for this one to come in first for a DPS assignment.

Milk & Cookies

Another boring pet photo...lol...but I thought it was cool that it got published in the 'Capture My Chicago' photo book.

1st and 10

Thanks for taking a look!

I enjoyed my first year of owning a DSLR massively!

I have taken photos of so many different things, some worked, some didn't - but each photograph taught me something that works and something that doesn't.

I think these four were the most successful of my 2009. I'm hoping I can put all I've learned into my photographs of 2010.

Sunrise at Charlestown

Painted Lady on a Daisy

First Strobist Attempt...

Orange Frost
