Photo recap of 2009

I decided to go through my flickr posts of photos taken in 2009, and select those that were my favorites, and which would also document the year for our family. You'll find a healthy mix of photos of the kids, along with a lot of animals and plants. Seems I tend to take a lot of the same sorts of photos. Maybe my resolution for 2010 should be to branch out and challenge myself to take more photos of inanimate objects. I seem to remember enjoying doing that before the kids came along.

There are some really stunning images there. You're very good at capturing the scene. What kind of camera are you using?

Thanks for the compliment. Most of these were taken with my Canon Rebel XT. Toward the end of the year John bought me a new Canon 50D body. The key, I think, is really in the lenses (I have some nice ones) and using an external flash to get the lighting right. I also do a small amount of editing in Aperture before I post them. It is certainly not a cheap hobby, but since we're now in the digital age, at least there is not much to spend on supplies, once you've invested in the right equipment. I rarely print any photos unless I'm framing them for the wall or my office or sharing them with family.
