Great idea. I'm copying someone else's approach and I've grabbed a picture a month for 2008. All sorts of stuff in here - variety is the spice of life etc. Sorry - no bird included.
January - Playing with shadows and getting used to my new 1D mk III
February - Shooting a freestyle snow & ski competition in Val d'Isere
March - AVForums Scottish meet in Skye - still one of the best photo experiences I've ever had - brilliant work by Dave & Ally and I long to go back.
April - Playing with long exposures with my newish ND110 filter.
May - First polo match - led to a busy summer covering polo and much more besides. Quite a turning point in my photography.
June - Up in the French alps on a motorbike tour, with some spare time in the schedule for a bit of photography.
July - First ever runway fashion shoot.
August - Highland games in Granton on Spey.
September - Commercial catalogue shoot for a US mens outfitter.
October - Has to be the helicopter...
November - Starting to understand what I'm doing with Premiership rugby
December - Wet shot that was printed in the Surrey Advertiser
All in all, a hugely varied and highly enjoyable year where I've been priviliged to shoot a huge variety of different subjects in different ways, and taken advantage of every opportunity to push the envelope. Bring on 2009!

It's an HDR from a single RAW file, which gives the punch to the stuff in the foreground. It was taken at sunset, so it's a bit murky otherwise. The view incidentally is from the road that winds up the Capitoline Hill, looking east over the Forum. The road running diagonally from the bottom left is the Via Sacra - the High Street of ancient rome. This is the route that the 'triumph' took, when victorious heroes returned to Rome.
