"National Geographic Magazine's Top 10 Photos of the year 2009" is on channel 6 at 7:30pm tonight here in Denver. The editors and photographers discus their images in depth and how they took them.
Just a fast FYI!

I just finished watching the program and found the stories & efforts behind the pictures very interesting. My favorite, of course, was the bear shot. I was glad to hear the photographer used a remote camera and was not in the water with the bear!!
As I saw the images the first time, I must admit that I was underwhelmed. The images were certainly good and told a story, but the best of NG ???? I was probably looking for more Franz Lanting and less photojournalism. Hearing the editor's criteria did clarify their selections, and helped me look at the images through a photojournalist's eyes.
I highly recommend recording the Tues 3:30 AM repeat, if you missed it this evening.

Thanks for the heads up...I DVR'd it and just finished watching it. Did you notice the fox image by Dan Walters during the shows lead in?
