BEST 3 ARCHITECTURAL - AVIATION - TRAVEL PHOTOS of 2015

A New Year, means it is time to look back and reflect on ones work over the last 12 months... Just like previous years, I've chosen the three strongest images in the Architectural, Aviation and Travel categories. The best of 2014 images, can be found here.

First some numbers: in 2015 a total of 10157 images made it in my main Lightroom catalog; almost identical to the 10537 keeper images of 2014. Needless to say, I shot many more images, which didn't make it into the catalog.

I rate my images between 1 and 5 stars in Lightroom; with 5 being the best images that potentially can make it into my online portfolio. This year a total of 170 images were given the best rating; slightly down from previous year.

 Each year, I enjoy the process of picking my favourite images, even though it isn't always easy; a bit like asking a mother which one her favourite child is...
