So, it's come to that time of the year again; time for our Photo of the Year contest! No particular theme, just the pic you think was your best taken this year. I'm also considering allowing the submission for two pics and multiple voting, so let me know what you think on that...

Entry deadline 17th December.

N.B: Could you please attatch the code of your photo with it when you submit your entry as this will make my life a lot easier when it comes to sorting out the voting.

e.g

May be a good idea as its a hard subject to choose for!

Will probably go for this one:

Does it have to be a biking pic? I've hardly taken any this year. Sad

In fact, all of my best pics from this year have had nothing to do with biking! Wink

do they have to be from our photos that we have submitted on this website or any biking photo?

I'm not sure what to think about that suggestion Hamish... i'm split. Say you had got some mtb shots and someone else suggested it, what would you say?

JAW - I'm not being serious. This is a mountain biking forum. The POTYear should be mountain biking related.

I'm thinking that I might try and take some pics at the weekend, if my night shifts aren't too busy. Still 15 days left!

Heres my mate Jay tackling the urban Jungle in London earlier in the year.
This pic was captured on Film using a Canon EOS 50E camera- cant remember the settings, but it was Fuji Superia 400asa film.

Welcome to the forums dan! I like the fact that you've used film, don't often get film shots submitted!

I thought you were being serious Hamish... Embarassed

Ok, i know you said one photo per person- but i couldnt choose just one!
This one was taken recently in the fog at my local spot. Its a digital image taken using my Fuji Finepix camera (F8 at 250 shutter speed on manual override). Ive done a little bit of photoshopping on it, but its not overbearing and nothing i couldnt do with 'old school' darkroom kit!

I do agree, it's just digital is so much more convinient for mtb! But yep, film will alwas be better.

Goodness. I've just had a look on the PC and I've hardly taken any biking pics this year. I've shot plenty of cat photos and some cracking landscapes but not very many MTB pics.Here's a couple from a pool of not very many:
