With the new year just a couple of days away, I thought I’d share what I think is the best shot from each month of 2012. I would love to hear what your favorites are; leave a comment once you get to the end!
Thanks and happy new year!

January
This was taken in the Canaveral National Seashore in Florida on the first day of the year. This sunset concluded a great day of the beach and fishing Mosquito Lagoon.
February
This spectacular sunset was taken just outside my house on Shooting Creek in North Carolina.
March
March was the first kayak fishing tournament of the season for the Southern Kayak Anglers. This shot is a covered bridge across Stone Mountain Lake in Georgia.
April
During the month of April, Seth and I went out to a remote stream in north Georgia to put together a short video on fishing for native Brook Trout
May
This was my first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. After this trip, I couldn’t resist coming back again and again. This is the Little River, just outside of the Elkmont Campground in Tennessee.
June
The month of June brings the start of the heat here in North Carolina. This is a cool, refreshing waterfall deep in the Nantahala National Forest in North Carolina.
July
Siler Bald is located between Franklin and Hayesville, North Carolina. This is a great hike, just off of the Appalachian Trail.
August
Picking this image from August was a no-brainer. This was taken while surf fishing in St. George Island State Park in Florida.
September
With five trips to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the month of September, it was not easy picking the best shot. I chose this one of Baskins Creek Falls because of both its remoteness and its uniqueness. This shot expresses my style more than some of the others I could have picked.
October
October was another difficult month to narrow down to just one shot. The fall colors were spectacular and condition were perfect for shooting many days. I chose this shot because of its perspective and technically, it is spot on.
November
Only towards the end of this year, did I start experimenting with new techniques. This image is a combination of multiple similar exposures that creates a great textured piece resembling a painting.
December
Even though I did give many other shots a chance by looking again, this shot just blew them all away. Nothing beats being there at the right time and this image from the Cherohala Skyway in North Carolina was proof. The colors and light this scene displayed were far beyond the scope of any camera, so this was the best result I could obtain.

Love March…..I love Covered Bridges….so few left and so much history they hold.
I have to say June. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it in person, and the photo you took does it great justice.
May – it reminds me of camping trips to the North Ga mountains.
Awesome Photos Trent. I love the September one.
they’re all good Trent, but July is still my favorite!
