Your Top Photos of 2010


Recommended Posts

I'm going to include one per mo when available... I missed two months though (skipped the Cherry Blossoms this yr! :o) so I will share two from Feb and two from July. I really could have done a whole set just from the summer I think.. I went on a big kick for a while JJA. June: http://www.flickr.co...0/06/calendar/; July: http://www.flickr.co...0/07/calendar/; August: http://www.flickr.co...10/08/calendar/

Was considering doing one of those 365 projects in 2011 but I dunno if I could get past the first month... ;)

Nice fireworks shot. I have never taken a good one yet. Also nice November shot, Fall is my favorite season for that reason.

Not the best quality being web-based versions but......

Highest viewed image (aired on TWC):

IMG_20001web.jpg

from the same spot:

IMG_20006web.jpg

***and yes...I know the 'warrior' name is misspelled. I missed it in making an 'action' in photoshop.

AND...although technically taken in 2009 (the DC Dec.19 storm), this image was my top earner in 2010:

I always wanted to go to the Canadian Rockies/Glacier! Looks sick. I would love to go to Banff, but I heard it can get really crowded (for good reason). Heard Watertown is good place to go to get away from the crowds.

Been to banff, went on Valentines day with my ex. Absolutely beautiful, was about 60"+ snow on the ground. One of the absolutely most gorgeous places I've ever seen. Expensive though. Some of the restaraunts are like $150 a plate. So wasn't a fan of that part, but everything else was great.

Hi All,

Finally made my way over here this year...love the new site!

My photography this year has been rather productive, but I didn't get out nearly as much as I would have liked after switching jobs. I've had even less time to focus on weather, but, that's life, and I'm thankful for any time spent in the outdoors enjoying nature and weather of any kind.

Here's my Top 10 in chronological order!

Carter Notch Fox - A light snowfall really set a nice mood for this curious fellow at the bunkhouse after a great night at Carter Notch

4362410496_2d5590f17a_z.jpg?zz=1

Observing the Undercast - I picked a perfect day to be above treeline this time, and had one of the MWO Observers give a sense of scale to the view from Goofer Point towards Lakes of the Clouds

4387371798_74324cc580_z.jpg?zz=1

Spring at the Heath - If you've never been to the Saco Heath, it's one of the most unique and spectacular places in the region in Mid May...

4591671966_f62e9eb5ab_z.jpg

Presidential Lupines - While the lupines at Sugar Hill get all of the attention, the Israel River Valley is just as striking!

4676347755_f63944bf17_z.jpg

Dew on Grass Pink Orchid - For the second year in the row, I've included a Grass Pink. I love this flower!

4732752025_9fe425cb8f_z.jpg

Roadside Moose - This Hayfield had gone to seed by early August, and this young Moose really was out standing in his field!

4804664069_3b75416a25_z.jpg

Washington from Lafayette - Caught a fantastic sunrise from the summit of Lafayette, and I loved the minimalist view of the ridges.

4916556706_47d75ac9db_z.jpg

Godrays in Greenleaf - Not one hour after the previous shot, I was thilled with the way the steam of the coffee interplayed with the cold air inside the hut!

4913836624_0cbd3e03cf_z.jpg

Hurricane Earl - Though the waves weren't that impressive with this storm, a long exposure really made the water and rock look powerful and surreal!

4958112284_521d35b370_z.jpg

Chocorua Lake - Wanted this shot for a long time. Well over a dozen times. Finally got it!

Thanks for taking this journey through the year in pictures with me! To a safe, happy and beautiful 2011!

These are from the 1/30-1/31 storm in which I received about 7.5" of snow. There were taken on the late afternoon of January 31st.

OMG! The snow piles look huge! laugh.gif

Here's a couple of my favorites from the Christmas/Boxing Day Storm. I ended up with 7" of snow.

This was taken around 4:30 AM on 12/26. The snow was lighter and would wind down by dawn.

This was taken at dawn when the accumulating snow was over.

DSC00164.jpg

This was taken a couple days later and shows the snow with the Christmas lights, a sight seen twice in my life (the other time being 2009, actually). Usually, our accumulating snows comes mostly in January and February (3"+ average both months) along with March (1.7" average). December only averages about an inch per year, although we had 9" in 2010 and 5.5" in 2009.

One interesting thing to note is how dry the snow from the January storm was. It didn't really stick to the trees at all. In comparison, the storm on Christmas and Boxing Day stuck all over the trees and turned them white. Towards the end, the Christmas snow got pretty dry, as well, but the majority of the snow on Christmas Day itself fell during the day/evening with temperatures at or above freezing. For viewing purposes, the Christmas/Boxing Day Storm was more visually appealing due to this.

This was my best year for Photography as well. One of my photos made it into the pages of National Geographic magazine in the August 2010 issue. This picture was taken February 2010 and is named "Real Horse Power".

Hey guys, I'm a bit new here.. loved the pics in this thread. I'm by no means a professional photographer, but I figured I'd pull a few of my best pics of the past year and share them anyways...

Few snaps of summer morning fog I took from a plane.. this is over the mountains/coalfields of beautiful southern WV:

28242_981777487967_8600640_56934949_2413011_n.jpg

28242_981777492957_8600640_56934950_2616103_n.jpg

That plane I was in was on the way to Nevis Island in the Caribbean.. the place we stayed at had a nice view out over the ocean, and little showers and storms would pop up almost every day.. you could always see the whole structure of the cloud and the rain hitting the ocean:

28242_981777517907_8600640_56934955_8150396_n.jpg

At the end of that trip, we were taking the ferry from Nevis Island to the sister island where the airport was, St. Kitts. I'm sitting on the upper deck watching some showers in the distance and all of the sudden I see what looks like a funnel cloud:

35790_981777677587_8600640_56934973_6068922_n.jpg

There wasn't a big thunderstorm or anything like that so I dismissed it as a weird cloud formation at first, but after a few minutes it became clear that it was a waterspout. How awesome... I've never been storm chasing (always wanted to) and here I am about to leave the Caribbean and I get to watch a full waterspout, beginning to end.

34190_981777767407_8600640_56934987_3057802_n.jpg

Heres a nice shot where you can see the water getting kicked up at the surface:

34190_981777772397_8600640_56934988_7247823_n.jpg

I'll end it with a pic of my kids (yes, they're actually good friends):
