Carroll County Times’ 2023 Pictures of the year | PHOTOS

Photographs record an instant in time, a moment that may otherwise be missed in the blink of an eye. Whether a news event, the play of the game, a tender moment between two people, or pieces of everyday life, photographs tell a story. They can lift imagination, capture the energy of a subject and evoke emotions. Anyone with a mobile phone can take a picture, but professionals pay close attention to details that an untrained eye can take for granted, such as the subject matter, composition, perspective, lighting or weather. On the following pages, we give you a second look at some of The Carroll County Times’ best photographs of 2023 – Our Pictures of the Year – A Photo Finish.
