What I shot: My favourite photos from 2011
I shot a gigapixel’s worth of photos in 2011. Some were better than others. Hopefully you’ll agree that I’m highlighting the better ones.
Where possible, I’ll link back to the gallery on Google Plus or wherever I posted it first. The G+ photos are larger.

Thanks for the kind words, Ben.
Virtually all these shots were taken with a digital point-and-shoot, purchased in very late June.
Only the very last photo was taken with my iPhone.
Watch for a fuller best-of gallery in 2012. :)
