As the year draws to a close it\u2019s the perfect time to look back at my videos from the year. <\/p>\n

\"2011\"For those of you who like statistics, I uploaded 53 video tutorials to my YouTube channel during the past 12 months, which have had just over 4.75 million views in total this year, which is 13000 views per day. With a mixed bag of Photoshop, photography and review videos, I suppose it;s inevitable that some videos will be more popular then others. So here are the winners and the losers from the class of 2011.<\/p>\n

Most watched video from 2011<\/strong>
Standing head and shoulders above everything else is my Fractured image effect Photoshop video. With over 110,000 views and 1260 \u201cLikes\u201d it\u2019s easily my most popular video of the year.<\/p>\n

Most Talked about video from 2011
<\/strong>When I say talked about I mean comments left by YouTube viewers. Once again there\u2019s a clear winner, \u201cTimelapse Photography tips from start to end\u201d may not have the snappiest title but it\u2019s had almost 250 comments. <\/p>\n

Longest Video from 2011<\/strong>
The shortest video of the year lasted less then a minute, but the longest ran for almost 23 minutes. Many of you might remember I spoke at Photoshop World in Florida earlier in March 2011 and \u201cPhotoshop CS5 top 5 new features\u201d was my way of rehearsing a small part of the live presentation. <\/p>\n

Most disliked video from 2011<\/strong>
Of course not everyone likes everything I publish and on YouTube there\u2019s a dislike button to anonymously vent your displeasure. A close fought race with 9 dislikes each, the winners are \u201cFractured image effect\u201d and \u201cSuper quick painterly effect\u201d <\/p>\n

My favourite video of 2011<\/strong>
Finally I have to choose the one video that I\u2019ve enjoyed the most in 2011. This year that\u2019s a really tough choice as I\u2019ve really enjoyed sharing both my Photoshop and photography knowledge, but it\u2019s the Photography videos that I find I can watch time and again. In 2011 I made videos in some amazing locations\u2026 in the sewers of Brighton, at the modern studios of Hassleblad and even whilst relaxing on my holiday in Norfolk. <\/p>\n

So which was my favourite? Gatwick Aviation Museum \u2013 15 Minute Photo Challenge. Why? Well it was a bitterly cold day, so cold that the batteries failed on both the video camera and audio recorder. The weather was terrible for photography with flat lighting and blank grey skies. None the less the location was so amazing that I saw great photos everywhere I turned.<\/p>\n
