If 2012 was a hard year to pick a best of photo because there were so many to chose from, 2013 was hard because there were so few. Overall, it was a tough year for photography since my job had me moving from Senegal to Washington and then back to Guinea within the span of about six months. And Guinea was not a particularly hospitable environment for photos which further limited opportunities. So that leaves us with this shot of London from November of the year.
It gets the nod mostly from a technical standpoint—I had consciously been trying to really nail my exposures in an attempt to stop relying on HDR and this photo was a testament to that. I’d also wanted to experiment more with reflections in my photography and the Regents Canal was able to provide me with ample opportunities to practice.
Regents Canal, London. Nov. 28, 2013.
