When I had my first meeting with my Photography Instructor Harry, I had to provide 10 to 15 of my favourite pictures but I had some troubles and I think I had it narrowed down to about 25. Driving around the past week, I've been hearing all the Top Music Countdowns for 2010 and I thought it would be a good idea to try this with photographs I've taken during 2010.
I'm going to break this into 4 categories; The Great Outdoors, Buildings/Monuments, Animals and Just For Fun and I’ll place my top 3 photos for each group. I’ll then have to make my top pick of #1 Photo of 2010.

My Number One Photograph of 2010........
 |
| I took a Photography Workshop that took place at the Experimental Park in Ottawa. It was pouring when we showed up at 6:30 AM and then it just stopped. I got some amazing photos but his was my favorite of the Workshop. This photo and my Darth Vader were running neck and neck as my favorite. It was a tough choice. |
I hope you enjoy my pictures. I can't wait to start working on my favorites of 2011.
Happy New Year!!!!
