Speedhunters Awards 2012 :photo Of The Year Round One

For all the photography connoisseur out there, this is the one you have been waiting for – the inaugural Speedhunters Photo of the Year award. This award is for the photographs taken by the Speedhunters for Speedhunters. This is quite a vast category so we need your help to narrow down the selection until we arrive at our ten final photographs.

We’ve kept this as straightforward as possible where each Speedhunter has submitted five of his favourite images of 2012. It’s up to you to choose your favourite image by each photographer, so you will be voting more than once. Remember that you’re voting on the photography, rather than the subject. The Speedhunters themselves will be presented in alphabetical (by surname) order, with the first five in this post and the last five in round two. Let’s get this under way shall we…
