All photos in this post are original photographs I shot on my Canon 600D/T3i during 2013. Lenses used were the Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 , Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 , and Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 lenses. Photos are shot in RAW format and then edited in Lightroom. I take a true-to-moment approach and only make adjustments to remove lens spots and to tweak color, sharpness, exposure, clarity, whites and blacks. In addition to posting these 65 color photos, see my favorite 65 black and white shots from 2013. You can also see my favorite shots from 2012 here.

It was a wonderful year full of incredible travel, growth, amazing food, and spectacular people and cultures.
