My 100 Favorite Automotive Photos From 2012

I have assembled in this gallery my favorite automotive photos from among the thousands I took in 2012. I drew the images featured here from the PBase galleries I posted throughout the year. I resized all of them for online viewing. These photos are not necessarily my best nor my most significant shots from 2012, but they are the ones I like most regardless of subject matter. Please feel free to visit the galleries where they originally appeared. Enlarge each image to view event and venue information.

I used a handheld Nikon D300 with an 18-200mm Nikkor VR zoom lens to shoot most of the photos in this gallery. For the rest, I used a Canon PowerShot S95 and a Nikon Coolpix P7100.
