2020 has been a strange year. It’s been a difficult one for all of us and for some more than others. It’s been a challenge at times to look on the bright side and think of the good and fun stuff that’s happened in the world around us.
These aren’t in any particular order, but here are some of my favourite stories from this year that have made me laugh, smile, be inspired or have made me want to fire up the 3D printer or pull out the soldering iron.
It’s late December and the New Year is just around the corner. For me, this is always the time to sum things up, to look back and see where I’ve been and what I’ve achieved in the past year. And honestly, I don’t feel like looking back at this horrible, horrible year at all. It’s been tough for all of us even if the pandemic was the only problem – and it most likely wasn’t.
But hey, let’s not be so negative. After all, every cloud has a silver lining. Even in this difficult year, we still had some things to be happy about. And for me, among other things, these things have been the stories that made me smile, articles I enjoyed writing, and some fun projects I did. So, I bring you my selection of the top ten DIYP stories that made 2020 more bearable and more fun. And just to make things extra positive, I’ll drop in a few honorable mentions, too!
With the year coming to an end, IO thought it would be interesting to look back on DIYP’s top posts of 2019. I gotta say, its an interesting mix. We have some phot breakdowns like this Stranger Things themed photo and a killer light painting photo. But we also have a few news stories, some of which are showing the controversy and dilemma in the photography industry. We also have a few gear posts representing Canon, Nikon, and DJI. Lastly, there are a few posts that brought a smile to my face, like this hipster who mistakingly claimed that his image was used to tell that all hipsters look the same. Only to realize it was a different hipster in the photo, proving his point.
Enjoy this compilation and let us know what you would like to see here in 2020.
