2014 moments #6
I would like to share my 10 most memorable photographs of the year over the coming days with you. These are shots that I am particularly proud of, while each evokes a sense of place and meaning from 2014.
GHOST FACTORY
On a tiny island in the Atlantic off Africa, the remains of a pottery factory have been swallowed up by the sand dunes. Only the chimney remains. While the Cape Verdean isle of Boa Vista has bold seas, glorious sunsets and rustic architecture, this ghostly monochrome image is one of my favourites from a memorable trip in 2014.
I did not even attempt the best-of exercise this year – I found it too difficult last time. I am glad you are doing it since I have not visited your blog enough this year and have missed some of your best shots. This one is terrific. The contrast between the palm and chimney is striking.

Thank you, and I’m glad revisiting was a good idea. A shot per day was something new. This island was all pink sunsets and cobalt blues, so this treatment was a surefire contrast.

I’m enjoying this 10 most memorable photos of 2014 Mike but how on earth could you whittle it down to only 10?

Ah, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. This daily posting business is a real change from the norm. I had to be pretty ruthless and choose a 10 that complement each other too.

Now that’s a real challenge Mike, but I guess having a few restrictions/guidelines in place would help with the final choice.

Or just recalling the shots that really made an impression on you and take it from there…
