This will be my second year participating in Jim Goldstein’s Annual “Your Best Photo From 2014“. Last year I selected my favorite 10 photos from 2013 here.
I had planned on being more active, landscape photography-wise, but that didn’t pan out as I had hoped. Thankfully, my medical/health issues from last year are now a distant memory.
So these are my favorite 10 (ten) landscape, nature and some “other” photos that I’ve taken this year.

Always trying to capture the moon from places that are familiar. I decided to drive to Merced and capture the Full Moon setting over Yosemite Lake.

Took a trip to the refuge and came home with this simple composition.

Another Full Moon image and this time I drove to the Merced Regional Airport and framed a static Lockheed P-80 “Shooting Star”, and the flag flying above.

Our church’s youth group went to Point Lobos for the day. I took this at the parking lot.

Not a landscape shot, but I had to include my two kids’ first day of school.

I used to build plastic models when I was a kid. One of my favorite airplanes is the F4U Corsair. I recently found my old models and I spent a few days photographing them. This is a 1/72 scale F4U-1A Corsair that I built about 35 years ago.

I finally managed to get up to Yosemite in November, so the last 4 images are from that trip. This was the first time I photographed Half Dome from the river.
I wanted to try another long exposure I took (and botched) two years ago.
I wanted to show more of the colors and reflections in the ice, than the actual ice/textures here.
A close-up of some ice crystals in the river reflecting the sky and part of El Capitan.
I hope you enjoyed viewing the images as much as I did taking them. I can’t wait to see what 2015 has to offer!
