I figured I might as well do one of these as well. While I didn't manage to get to nearly as many spectacular locations as many of you, I do feel like this past year saw my photography improve and evolve significantly. Some of these pictures may not be strictly UE related, but are still a representative selection of the shots I'm proudest of. Placing my best selections side-by-side like this also helps me identify both the good and bad habits I employ while taking pictures. The images are a mix of film and digital. Bonus points will be awarded for those of you who can tell me which is which!

Riverside Power Plant

I didn't manage to get inside this lovely old hydro plant this year, but I was lucky enough to visit it twice in 2014. I've really enjoyed seeing it pop up in several other explorer's year-end lists.

These next couple of shots are all from one of the only thorough exploration outings I've done since moving out to the country.

Slip Right In

House of God


Breakfast Interruptus


Salty


Arty Button Factory

I wanted so badly to walk in the open front door of this place, but a local artist lives and works in the building, and I didn't feel like intruding on their space without their permission.

As always, constructive criticism is expected and appreciated. Thanks for looking!

I like 'sediment', (and it's digital)

Re: I do feel like this past year saw my photography improve and evolve significantly.

So, do i! I can see some lovely improvements. Keep up the Great work! Id like the Bonus points but i am not going to say...id probably be wrong, lol

Regardless of UE or not I think this is a real solid year. I'm gonna bite on the bonus points and pick 'Getting High at Work' and 'Local Truss Bridge' as two film shots.
