    Not a fan of the one picture rule, it was VERY hard to choose;)

    This is my favourite but it's a horrible scan. I'm giving the real hand print as part of a set of four as a Christmas present.

    Not the best photo I've taken this year, but one I really like:

    A landscape would probably be a safer bet but nowadays my favourite kind of photography is street photography. So, I'll say this one.

    Nice photo, but I actually prefer this one. I think it appeals to my inner pessimist :)

    Really great photos, jaa. You know what, the one guy who wrote the comment isn't wrong - the analogue pictures have a special look somehow, compared to the digital ones (which are great too, don't get me wrong).

    Thanks, Lou. I agree with you and with him. I think digital tends to be prettier but analogue can be more attractive. I tend to use digital on holidays and family gatherings but I do prefer film for street photos (partly because the M7 excels in that domain and I love using it). A good photoshopper can probably (and easily) get a similar look with digital though...

    If you liked that gallery, take a peek at [link=http://www.pbase.com/j_a_a/streets_of_oporto_bw">this one and

    I don't have a digital camera and the nearest I have is the crappy one on my smartphone, which I very rarely use. However, this one is great. Appalling quality (probably the worst in the entire thread) but a great one nonetheless :)

    Vroooooom! Aaaaaaaargh!

    Technical quality may be less than perfect but I do LOVE the subject. Unfortunately, I don't think he's dead.

    I went to a mates birthday party back at the start of the summer. He is the most chilled out person ever, he's like a walking buda.

    Proof !

    Woo - it's Mr Testicles! He ran the New York Marathon and met Lorraine Kelly this year too.

    Great pics everybody. Absolutely love Man On A Mission and Monkey.

    I'm going to say this one. I'm very happy with it, and I think it really shows a step forward for my portraits. So pleasing to really nail a person capture like that.

    Not strictly this year, but couldn't find any good ones and never taken part in an EG photo thread so thought i'd upload it :)

    Probably this one

    Colours were a bit more vivid in real life but I don't like to fiddle too much :)

    edit: uploaded a full-res version (hopefully the compression won't crappify it)

    Nice thread guys. Nice to browse a few photos on each page for once rather than wading through loads! Hehe.

    I've set it as my wallpaper now. :)

    Lovely pics on this thread btw. It's nice to be able to click on a link on EG and know that it's pretty safe to do so.
