Taken during the HKAYP Gold Award trip. Possibly one of my favorite photographs of the trip.

Best Photographs of 2007

I don’t consider myself an expert photographer, but I think I am improving enough these days. But, for Christmas, I was given the following:

Canon EOS 40D

Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 APO EX DG Macro

Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4.5 DC Macro SLD Glass

Marumi 72mm Haze UV Lens Filter

Marumi 77mm Haze UV Lens Filter

And so I haven’t had long to master my new equipment yet. During 2007, two of the most interesting places I visited was my trip to Kenya and my second trip to Queensland, Australia.

I had already gone to Queensland in 2006, and had a more-than-vague idea of what was good to take photos of: the sunset and the aircraft at the aerodrome I was training at. Kenya, though, was a completely new experience for me because it was my first time with live animals. Armed with my Canon 350 (Which was the last time I ever used it) and my 6 month old zoom lens, I really pushed myself to try and take some pictures of the wildlife we saw. Many of the photographs really passed my expectations. From that point on, I’m building on a huge interest of wildlife photography and I hope I can get into said business in the future.

Anyway; I think the following photos are my most impressive I have taken, in my opinion.
