It’s that time of the year again: since 2018, we have shared our most memorable shots of the past twelve months with each other. Now in its sixth iteration, the “Most Memorable Shot” has become a tradition we cherish at the beginning of each new year. No matter whether you’re a member of the Commons Photographers User Group or not, please feel invited to share your most memorable picture of 2023 on this page.
This one is by far my most memorable one. I specifically went to many Shrines to find an image of Masakaki which as of the time was not present anywhere on wikimedia commons. In competition with File:Onominato Shrine Ujikofuda front.jpg which I bought on ebay to take a picture of, and many of my other pics from my Japan trip this year
Over the last year we have welcomed many visitors in our small garden – most notably birds and red squirrels. In autumn 2022 I had bought a 100–400mm lens for landscape details, now I dabbled for the first time at taking some snapshots of our feathered and furry friends. I will probably never become a wildlife photographer, but it was a great experience to get some decent images of our guests. This photo was the first one I really liked.
Over the last year I have been extensively documenting the City of Liverpool. I have hundreds of photos I really like, but in my travels of Luddenham I found this rural scene quite beautiful.
Indian Cymbals called Elathalam waiting to be used at a wedding ceremony in Tamil Nadu
I again take the invitation to join in, even though I am not a member of the User Group. This picture is from a wedding I was fortunate to attend while travelling for the last time as a WMF employee to WikiConference India. I took a lot more pictures at this event, one of them was even featured, most of them are a lot more colorful. However I really love this image, as for me it calls the (often very loud) sounds of the wedding to my mind. It was an (almost?) overwhelming experience and I will always be greatful to have been so lucky and could attend this event. --Kritzolina (talk) 11:52, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It's probably not my best shot in 2023, but it marks my second trip to South America. Flying over the immense green of the Amazon forest I checked the plane position map, we were just about to cross the Amazon itself. “That huge river must be the Amazon!” I excitedly took a photo through the window. But two minutes later, I realised that it wasn't the Amazon… So, here it is, 1.2 km wide in the narrowest point.
