2016 DPReview Readers' Best Shots: Things Collembola (Springtail) under a drop of water. Central Park, Burnaby. Sony A6000, Sigma E60mm F2. 8, 42mm extension tube. Photo by Don White Picking your favorite image is never an easy task.
Nevertheless, our readers were up to the challenge when we asked them to submit their best shots of 2016. We received a huge number of submissions, and it was no small job picking favorites. We didn't need the reminder, but it underscored just how talented our readership is. Photos were divided into three categories and we settled on a small selection to feature in each.
This category, 'things,' is admittedly a little ambiguous. With apologies to our feathered and furry friends, animals fell into this category, as did just about anything else that isn't a landscape or a portrait. We tried to include a variety of subjects, and there were many excellent images submitted – check them all out here and here.
A huge thanks to everyone that participated and gave us a chance to see your work!

Taken on April 1st 2016 in the evening during the Silverstone 24hr Race. I wasn't accredited so this was taken through the fence. I used an extremely slow shutter speed to blur the unsightly background and add a sense of movement. Fujifilm X-T10 & XF100-400mm F4. 5-5. 6 R LM OIS WR. 100mm. Shutter Priority @ 1/15sec.

Taken in San Ignacio Lagoon, Baja California, Mexico. In this lagoon a few mother and calf grey whale pairs will come up to the fishermen's boats to play which normally means getting you wet. I took this shot with a Panasonic FT5 waterproof compact (as I said, you get wet!) which I held over the side as a calf surfaced on its side alongside the boat. The camera was at maximum wide angle.

I made this photo during a late-August visit to northern Arizona's Mormon Lake. This was one of four juvenile red-tailed hawks riding the summer breeze above the east rim overlooking the lake. This one was quite curious and soared in, close, to size me up for a late-day snack. When I got home and started going through the exposures, I was hoping this one didn't cut off any tail feathers. As it turned out the framing was just about perfect and the result is the uncropped image above.
