2024 has been a busy, productive, and great year! I purchased a new camera and a variety of lenses a few months ago, a Canon R5 Mark II. I've really been enjoying the new gear, both for commercial photography work, and for the landscape photography that is my true passion. The images are incredibly sharp, and I really like the reduced digital noise at higher ISOs.
Quite a few new landscape photos were shot. I just went through them all and decided that these are my top 10 favorites of the year. Not necessarily the most popular shots, but images that I personally like best. Let me know what one is your favorite!
Top 10 Photos of 2024, In the order they were shot:
"Icy Donner Lake 3" - Photograph of a ice and frost along the shoreline of Donner Lake in Truckee, California.
"Snowy Truckee River 14" - Snowy morning photograph of the Truckee River, in Downtown Truckee, California.
