2018 – A Year of Travel In 100 Black and White Photographs

Every year I post 100 of my favorite photos from the year’s travels.  Ordinarily, this post comes around the New Year. This year, it and its color sibling will land in the middle of June.  The reason for this? Fantastic travels and an expanded focus on travel photography combined with a fairly all-consuming work schedule.

This year’s post includes photos from the United States, Faroe Islands, Iceland, China, Vietnam, Laos, Norway, Denmark, France and Italy.  It was a spectacular year of travel and one which was complemented by really getting to know my Sony A7RII. The Sony also brings with it added video capabilities which have led to added exploration with creating video content which you can explore here.

This post is part of an annual tradition.  For previous years, check out 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and of course, don’t miss the color post from 2017.

For my daily photo posts feel free to tune in and follow along via Instagram @virtualwayfarer.

Questions about how I composed or took a specific photo? Feel free to ask in a comment. You’re also encouraged to check out my complete flickr albums here which include the many other shots from 2018 (and previous years) which didn’t make it in this post.

All photos were taken on a Sony A7R II using a variety of lenses. I do light editing in Adobe Lightroom. You can see the specific settings each image was taken at via the EXIF data on flickr. I’m also always happy to answer questions.

Thanks for a wonderful year! I cannot wait to see what adventures and explorations 2019 brings! Remember, stay tuned for 2018’s color post for an additional 100 shots.
