Each year I amuse myself by selecting my personal favourite shots taken in the previous 12 months and gathering them into a Flickr set for the purpose. I exclude anything "personal" - family shots not shared with the world - or anything that has been done to order.
This year's pitiful efforts can be seen here.
I do find the breakdown of which I took with what quite interesting:
Panasonic TZ6 (now in Mrs. Bill's hands)................2
Ricoh GRD III......................................................7
Ricoh GXR Leica M module....................................6
Ricoh GXR A10 module.........................................1
Fuji X10..............................................................8
Nikon D700.........................................................1
Leica MP4...........................................................4
Pinhole...............................................................1
There's nothing in the toplist from my FM3a, or my II or M2 this year; a big turnaround from previous years.
I can think of some good reasons for at least some of the above. The GRD III was my constant companion during January for the one-a-day photo project. Much of what I have done with the Nikon is commissioned. The pinhole has not seen much action yet. The one that surprised me was the X10 - it really is a good balance of portability, usability and performance.
The other thing that comes across - to me at least, is that this is quite a "happy" set - there is a fair amount of humour in my choices. Whether this reflects my mood through the year or only when I made these choices, you decide.
Just some thoughts.
