My Favorite Photos of 2015
I started doing this last year, as it was the first year I got serious about photography and I was reallt proud of the shots I got. I was a little disheartened this year when I looked through my photo library that I didn’t go out of my way to take a lot of pictures this year[1].
That said, there are still some photos that I look back fondly on and wanted to share them today.
First up, how about my brother’s golf swing at 1,200 frames per second?
Probably my favorite photo of the year

Yes, we got to hold Marnie this year. What can 2016 do to top this?

- It also doesn’t help that the camera I bought this year is net to worthless in low light. Indoor shots are the pits with this thing. Even well-lit shots are rather noisy. I’m looking to get this thing replaced sometime soon. ↩
