2021 – A Year of Travel In 100 Color Photographs

Every year I post 100 of my favorite photos from the year’s travels. As part of my photo-editing process, I edit my photos chronologically. This means that the more travel or photo-intensive my trips are, the longer it tends to take me to close out a year. This is why this post comes in September, though it features photos from 2021. I hope you’ll enjoy the mixture of landscapes and destinations. 2021 was all about a mixture of local photos in the first half of the year, and then good travel photos in the later months as I was finally able to go back out into the world and resume my explorations. This year also marked an interesting milestone as I passed 25,000 (lifetime) photos uploaded on my flickr.

This post is part of an annual tradition.  For previous years, check out 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. You can also see my 100 favorite black and white shots from 2019 (HERE). My top 100 shots in black and white from 2020 will come soon.

Thanks for joining me on this exploration of my favorite color photos from 2020. For these photos I used a Sony A7R III camera with a mixture of lenses. These included a Sony 70-300G, a Sigma 100-400, a Sony 24-70 F4, and a Tamron 17-28M.
