Hope to get out over the holidays, as it has finally stopped raining. Yes, the weather can be awful here in sunny Italy. We have had a week of really grey days and rain.

I took these shot of a spring that belches out a lot of water on the back of a work visit. Since I last visited this place a few years ago, a huge landslide has destroyed some of the springs, and access is prohibited. But if you know where, you can still reach one of the springs.

This seems most powerful photo of spring.

Christmas Eve Sundown

After finishing all the pre- Christmas tasks, I found time for a walk down to the local wetland, Park End Moss,

I like the first photo, the reflection of sun makes nice leading line.

My Favourite Shots of 2025

I don't know if there's a specific thread for this kind of thing, but as I haven't shot anything particularly worth sharing this week, here's some of my favourite shots from 2025.

When importing a set of images into Capture One, my first pass is to run through them all and mark any that look interesting as one star. I then run through those and edit them, marking my favourites as two stars.

To compile a set of favourites for the year, I select the entire 2025 folder and then filter by two stars. This gave me 1,558 two star images to browse through from this year. My picks from that list get marked with a red colour tag and being reasonably selective, I managed to reduce that list down to 157 images.

At that point I still need to filter down further, but I don't want to mess with any of the star ratings and can't be bothered messing around with C1P's clunky text tagging, so I export the entire set into a "best of" folder and then browse through that with XNView, tagging what I think are the very best from that folder. This got me down to 26 images, which I eventually whittled down to the 16 photo limit of a single post on here, that final selection was tricky as I had to get rid of 10 images that I really liked. Traditionally, I'd try to get down to 12 images for the year, but getting it down to 16 was challenging enough.

Great set of shots, seems like fruitful year for you.
I compiled my year shots by taking one from each month but if was not easier. Haven't counted yet how many have taken this year but it's tens of thousands. Quite lot of them thanks to this forum and thread, trying to get variation of shots to show each week. So thanks to all involved!

Terminal 5 - It has been raining and windy (and dark) here for the past month. On the way home from work, there was a very slight break in the weather ("sprinkles" rather than rain, but still some wind) and I had the camera and tripod in the car with me. So, I parked at a spot where I've take pictures in the past and decided to try -- sprinkles or no sprinkles.

Great shot, i like how these cranes align.

Old and new

This one had me so completely fooled (is it a single flat wall?) that I had to do an image search for the location and then street view...

This shot was from kind of forced position, as these buildings are in intersection of busy roads and it's not easy to find uncluttered by signs and posts and cables shooting location. But this two-dimensionality of building fails if you look at service rail on top edge of building.

I noticed this 40 year old Porsche 924 in my parking garage. It's in pretty good shape as far as I can see. I used to have a white 924S that did 250k miles without significant issues.

It was amazing what I could carry in the back with the searts down!

David

Nice car, this red colour ensures that it does not go unnoticed.
These wide angle shots show well how perspective is changed, the front hood seems to have quite different length in these 2 photos.

My Favourite Shots of 2025

Dawn At Botany Bay Farm

I think this is the only dawn shoot I've done this year, as I've now got a lot more free time on my hands I should probably attempt to do a few more over the coming months. This battered Beech tree has endured all that the elements have thrown at it over the years in its lonely spot on the middle of Withnell Moor, outlasting the long demolished farm it now marks the former location of. I've made a few attempts to shoot this tree at dawn, but I think this is the only one I've shot with the GFX system and I was fortunate enough to be treated to a nice bit of light in the sky on this particular occasion.

Heather At Black Coppice

For some reason or other I nearly always seem to miss Heather Season. This year I remembered, but was undermined by poor light on several visits (including those where I took the GFX) to the edges of the moors, but on this last one I got lucky with nice conditions and soft light.

My two picks from this set.
Hoping 2026 brings you better health and great photography.
