Photography in the News - 2012 in photos.

As we are rapidly approaching the end of the year I decided to look back over the past year in photographs, courtesy of www.boston.com.
I decided to select several images that caught my eye either by the memorable subject they portray or through their composition.

Taken in Eastern Siberia this shot shows a child whose eyelashes have been covered with  hoarfrost as the temperature reached minus 35 degrees Celsius. (Viktor Everstov/Reuters)



The Jubilee celebrations played a big part this year lasting four days to mark the Queen's 60th year. (Sang Tan Associated Press)

 
 And who could possibly forget the London Olympics! Athletes running past the Olympic flame on day one. (Daniel Ochoa De Olza/ Associated Press)


I included this multiple exposure photograph of Andy Murray as he serves against Novak Djokovic as I was particularly drawn to the pattern and repetition. I like the fact that you cannot tell who the tennis player is, and that does not matter the image. You also get a sense of movement through the photo. (Dylan Martinez /Reuters)



This photo really caught my eye because of the rich and vibrant use of green. To the left of the frame you can also spot a farmer as he walks through a paddy field near his home in Nepal. (Prakash Mathema/AFP/GettyImages)

Over the next year I intend to create my own album of images that will represent my 2013 so that I will be able to look back at the end of the year and remember places I have been to and things that I have seen.
