That December photo absolutely knocked me over. Great collection, great way to end it.
Thanks John, December’s image was unlike those taken during the rest of the trip as you’ll hopefully see next week.
A fantastic collection of images Steve. I hope 2024 is even better.
Thanks Robin, we need to get out more and try a few new locations!
Thanks for another year of educational and inspiring videos.
Glad you like them!
The process of reviewing, selecting, and presenting a series of best images in a group tends to be a lost art in an era of viewers scrolling on a phone. Very well done indeed.
Thank you 🙂
Thanks for all the great videos in 2023 Steve, it's been a pleasure following the channel over the years. Looking forward to seeing everything you come up with in 2024!
Thanks Albert, I’m glad you enjoy the videos. All the best for 2024.
Simple and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your work with us throughout the year.
You’re very welcome 🙂
A year of grand and gorgeous images. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a stunning slideshow Steve. October was my favourite until I saw December's image. Thanks for taking me along on all those climbs in all weathers from the comfort of my armchair. Although I have been out in all weathers myself. I shot the best image I have ever taken in September along the Wild Atlantic Way in North West Ireland. It took me 20 years to get this photograph as I only visit this part of Ireland for 3 days every year or so. The weather there can be so unforgiving even in summer.
Thanks Simon. There’s nothing more satisfying than finally getting a great image from a location you’ve visited many times. I had this experience at a local wood in 2011 and I’ve never come close to matching it, so much so that I don’t even shoot there now. Thankfully there are a lot of places I’m yet to get a good image from, including local spots like New Brighton. At least this keeps things a challenge and I’m sure I’ll get there in the end.
All the best for 2024 👍
Beautiful images as always Steve. Looking forward to more great content in 2024!
Many thanks!
Thank you for showing these Wonderfull photos. You are an inspiring for me in my photography.
Wow, thank you! 😊
Woaah the 3 horsemen must be a sensational feeling to capture and to see as a finished print! stunning photos as always!
Thank you, it took a few frames and quite a lot of patience before the horses lined up properly 🙂
I think you could threaten me with Tony and Chelsea N. on loop and I still wouldn't be able to pick a favourite. Wonderful selection showing just how good an eye for an image you have. Steve. Have a fabulous 2024.
Thank you, all the best for 2024 to you too 🙂
Superb set of quite different styles of photos! Have a great 2024!
Thanks Chris 😊
Thanks very much Steve for another year of excellent, inspiring videos.
All the best to you and your family in 2024.
Thanks Harry and all the best to you too.
Stunning. April - the clouds appear to move :) just beautiful
Many thanks!
Thanks Steve, inspiration for the coming year.
Thanks William.
Brilliant! Love these. All build up a body of art. November and December are my favourites, since they convey so much emotions.... Wish you the very best for 2024.
Thanks Andreas and all the best for 2024.
Great presentation Steve, appreciate your efforts to keep your channel going with fine photography.
Many thanks!
Spectacular images.
WOW ! Thanks for the amazing voyage . See you in 2024 .
You bet! 😀
Stunning work, Steve - a year's worth of gems. That's what I admire the most about your photography - your ability to apply knowledge and craft to produce consistently superb pictures. Your insights on composition and exposure are way beyond anything else on UA-cam. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do in 2024. Happy New Year!
Thank you, all the best for 2024 to you too 🙂
Beautiful, with nice variety. My favorites was April.
Thanks David.
Beautiful photographs!
Thanks Simon.
Wow ! What a bueatiful body of work, Steve. Looking forward to 2024, now. What an inspiration. Thank you. KB.
Glad you enjoyed the year end wrap up Ken, just need to get 2024 off to a good start now.
Steve you had a wonderful year, many stunning images. May 2024 bring even more success.👍🏿🙏🏿
Thank you, hope you have a great 2024 too.
My favorite photog YT'er! Your December image is stunning. I can't stop looking at it.
Thanks Kevin, I hope you enjoy the video of that trip when it comes out on Thursday 👍
What a pleasure to watch. Thank You very much. Happy New Year!
I’m glad you liked it Antonio.
Thank You for all beautiful pictures. IMHO april picture is best from the best. Greetings from Poland!
Thank you very much!
A Stunning Year! Well done! Iceland? Was I asleep? Simply marvelous images! Happy New Year!
Thanks Jason. Iceland was a holiday, pictures were just a bonus 🙂
Although I am usually more of a fan of color, landscape photographs, my vote for best image of the year goes out to december. All images are truly fantastic, however the december one really stands out. Some kind of surreal scene out of a Tarkovski movie. Atmosphere, conditions, subject, grain, film type, composition and aspect ratio all coming together perfectly.
Thanks for all the wonderful videos throughout the year. Lets hope this year will be even better.
Thank you 🙂
As we would all expect, Steve, a wonderful set of images. No favourites from me, and I mean that in the nicest way.
Thank you for all your videos and tips etc during 2023, and all the best for 2024. Look after yourself, we are all looking forward to watching your slick, calm productions.
Many thanks Tony, all the best for the new year to you too.
Great images Steve. Just shows that keeping at it, can produce an amazing sequence of images over time. Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it Brian.
Thanks a lot - that's why I love this channel.
Glad you enjoy it!
Excellent! I'm in awe! it is awesome! Thanks!
Glad you like it!
The grain in December was beautiful.
I liked that too
Excellent images as always Steve. Looking forward to 2024. Best wishes to all and a creative New Year.
Thanks William, all the best for 2024 to you too.
Iceland and the last shot are my favourites of the year.
Thank you, two quite different images!
Lovely recap. Brings back memories of some great vids from this year as well. Thanks for the memories. Best of luck in the new year.
Thanks Nigel, all the best for 2024 to you too.
Delightful scenes! Best wishes for 24!
Thanks Peter, all the best to you too.
Beautiful photos 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks so much 😊
Hi Steve just taking this occasion to wish you the very very best for 24! You're one of the few that I continue to follow. All the best fellow photographer!
Thanks Franco, all the best for 2024 to you too 🙂
Have enjoyed all your videos through the year Steve. Thankyou for them all and I wish you a happy healthy 2024.
Thank you and all the best for 2024 to you too 🙂
First Class images as ever Steve, I love your pleasant relaxed channel its a joy to watch. looking forward to seeing what you do in 2024. Happy New Year!
I’m glad you enjoyed the roundup Peter and all the best for 2024 to you too.
Thank you for showing your work and your process in the field. Quite the antidote to some of the horrors and fruitless banality I've also viewed on my screen this past year.
Thanks Terence, I’m glad you enjoyed the collection.
You had a very good year, Steve. This is an inspiring collection of photographs. I like that it worked out there is mix of film and digital. That says a lot about both. I am pleased I was able to catch most of your videos this year. I hope to do as well in 2024, as I find a lot of value in what you offer and share. Happy New Year, Steve, to you and yours.
Thanks James and I pleased that you enjoyed the more varied selection this year. Wishing you all the best for 2024.
You have an excellent eye for composition. I particularly liked the April photo. All the best in 2024
Thank you, all the best for 2024 to you too 😊
You’re a master Steve, thank you for sharing
You are very welcome 😊
Just perfect thamk you
Thanks Paul.
Quite the inspiring folio, thanks
You’re welcome Mike.
What a visual treat! Thank you. My first reaction to the February shot was that it reminded me of a group of ballet dancers. Don't ask me why; just how my mind works.
Thank you 😊
So ,good and inspiring. Happy New Year fom California
Same to you!
Thanks for all of your videos this year Steve. You are an exceptional photographer. Happy 2024.
Thanks Robin, all the best for the new year to you too.
Wonderful images, Steve. That last image was crackin! Best wishes to you in 2024!
Thanks, you too!
great work, all photos are great, also with an original photograph of island without the usual waterfall that everybody has shot...
Thank you, I got a bit tired of all the waterfalls to be honest, if I revisited I’d concentrate on the wonderful rural buildings.
That last photograph (December) is truly remarkable. Love the composition, character and abstract nature of the photograph. Stunning photography from start to finish. Looking forward to seeing your images for 2024. Happy New Year Steve and thanks for sharing your experiences.
I’m glad you liked it 😊
Merci pour ce magnifique travail, joyeuses fêtes de fin d'année.
Thank you 😊
A fantastic and varied selection. Nice mix of film stocks and digital 👍
Thank you.
Nice body of work. I've enjoyed the journey over the past year...
You and me both 😊
Nice work Steve thank you for sharing:)
You’re welcome Steven.

Wonderful and inspiring work. If I had to, I would pick August and October.
Thank you 😊

Thank you 😊
What a great year. Hope 2024 is just as good.
Thanks Geoff.
A year to be proud of, lovely work.
Thanks Randy.
Amazing stuff, and a happy new year to you. Will be looking forward to more videos.
Thanks, all the best for 2024 and glad you enjoy the videos 😊
❤ happy NY Steve , another excellent collection, some that recognise from previous videos , i think the UK shots are just as impressive as Iceland. That last shot of the 3 horseman , i just love it has a very nostalgic feel to it , looking forward to your 2024 😊
Thanks Christine, wishing you a happy 2024 🙂
Beautiful images.
Many thanks!
I was waiting for this, althoough I could not watched too many videos of you this year.
Thank you 😊
Beautiful mate! You have inspired me to pick up the F80, load a roll of XP2 and go for a walk in the forest.
Have fun!
you really got me in november and december 😢 all super beautiful though!
Thank you 😊
Very accomplished photographer.
Great photo brother
Stupendous
Bravo Steve!
Beautiful body of work Steve, Happy New Year🎉
Many thanks 😊
I need to do this as well , catalog my images. Thanks Steve ... liked the Dock's picture.
Thanks Chris.
Wonderfrul images Steve!!!!! You should sell books of them by the Year!!!
Maybe one day Sammy, thanks for commenting 🙂
Just wonderful, thanks so much. Few of us snappers would have found that composition at Eryri in North Wales - fantastic. Mark
Thanks Mark, I’m actually planning to reshoot at Llyn y Gader as I think there’s a better composition on that rock and ruin to be had.
Thanks Steve, I was actually thinking of the great foreground in the shot of Rhosydd Quarry - made me realise the importance of interesting foreground and getting detail in the shadow there. Nothing wrong with the shot at Llyn Garder lol 😀
Those old quarry buildings offer endless opportunities, I hope to see them one day when there’s some mist and fog, just enough that is so I can still find my way up there!
Cracking selection mate 👍
Thanks John.
Wow good pictures~. I am enjoying your clip from Korea. Wanna see any spot with my film cameras someday!
Impresionante Steve. La última foto es mi preferida. Enhorabuena y feliz año. Saludos desde España.
Thanks Francisco, all the best to you too.
Wishing you all the best for the new year, cheers.
Cheers Stephen, all the best for the new year to you too.
Nice images, and a Happy new year
Thanks, you too James 👍
Excellent work A+ !! You should add the links to the videos for each image in the info section I am sure it would boost the numbers.
Best wishes! Thanks for the video, very inspiring and most excellent work! God bless!
Thanks John, good point about the links too, I’ll do that this coming week 👍
Some great memories there steve
Thanks Paul.
All great photos,Steve, but in my humble opinion the Ogwen Valley and the Seaforth Docks photographs are on a different level of great.
Thanks Ian 👍
Damn good job, Damn good bloody good damn good job!
😀😀😀
Beautiful work. Hope to see a book some time.
Thanks Ruud.
That final photo made me gasp
Wonderful. My top favorites are May, July, October with the piano in May getting the gold medal.
Thanks Dann, I think I had a more varied choice than in previous years.
@@SteveONions I think spell correct turned pano into piano. I don't recall any musical instruments in the image.
Looks like you have had a good year Steve😁 My 'one for the wall' would have to be December, a superb photo. My aim for next year, is to produce one wall worthy Print each Month. Looking forward to your channel in 2024. All the very best😁
Cheers
Diz
Thanks Diz, I only know if I’ve had a good years photography when I look at the month by month compilation. 2023 wasn’t bad, certainly better than 2022 but not as good as some other years.
All the best for 2024 🙂
Great stuff Steve, and it's such a good idea that I'm going to nick it straight off! (well takes less time than all that video editing bollox!) I thought I watched all of your videos, but I must have missed the Iceland trip.
Steal with pride, most successes are built from what’s already gone before! 😀
Fantastic stuff sir! I would have a hard time picking one fav. Feb, April, May, or Dec! All winners. One thing I noticed that I haven't considered before, the Portra films really Pop! I shoot mostly b&w, so this is a nice surprise. Happy New Year!!
I’ve been more than happy with the Portra films this year, especially the results from the 800 version that I’m now trying in 120.
Absolutely lovely collection . My vote goes to August. Happy New Year !!
Thank you! You too!
Thank you! You too!
Wonderful collection, Steve. Thanks so much for all your work here!
You’re very welcome 😀
Wishing you and your loved ones a very happy new year, Steve. Thank you for another twelve months of great photography. Take care.
Thank you, all the best for the new year to you too.
Great selection of wonderful photographs. Love the atmosphere and grain of Seaforth docks.
Thanks Neil, I had to be very patient to get that shot of the horses, not to mention it took quite a few more frames than I’d usually use.
I don't have the words to adequately express how wonderful these images are! Are you considering making any of these available as prints for sale? Your photograph of the Langdales (April) is spectacular - and would look spectacular on my wall. Happy New Year and happy shooting!
I may put a few up on the Etsy store in the next couple of weeks, probably inkjet only in an A4 size 👍
Nice portfolio. Bravo.👍
Thanks George.
Lovely set of images Steve. Thanks again for the time and effort put into your videos 👍 All the best.
You’re very welcome Paul.
