Photo Bomb. I mean explosion. (2012 Review)

December 31, 2012 by Elaine

I took gobs and gobs of photos in 2012.

(which reminds me that I need to do another back-up soon…)

I took photos mostly of my kids and my family but I was blessed to take photos for other people as well.

This year was a HUGE learning curve for me in regards to my own photography.

Maybe you’ll see that some as the year progresses, in the photos below.  Maybe not.  But I know I’ve come to the end of 2012 knowing much more than I did at the beginning and that I continue to build my confidence and enjoy the art of photography.

Thanks for always supporting me, here.

p.s. these are all (except one) from my “big” camera.  I will have another Instagram-related post later in the week… because, yeah – I took a ton of photos with my phone too!

p.p.s. asking me to choose only ONE photo a month is like asking me to pick a favorite child – not gonna happen! 😉

Hope you enjoy!

    Wow, Elaine… your pictures are gorgeous! I resolove to stop taking 99% of my pictures with my iphone and start using my real camera more often! Of course, I have to learn the basics of using it, first!
    Happy 2013 to your family! And keep on taking stunning pics! xo

    I can see how it would be hard to pick just one favorite, I was going to comment about which one I like best but I love them all. You have such a great eye for photography. Happy New Year.

    Those are amazing photos. And from pictures alone it looks like an amazing year! So many great photos it is hard to pick a favorite, but I am partial to that last one. You know I love shots like that and have to take one every year. Also love the one in August under the tunnel. Very cool.
    Happy New Year!
