It’s that time of year again! As we bid farewell to 2015 and welcome in 2016 with open arms, we’re taking a fond look back at the most popular images shared on 500px this past year.
There are only two rules:
1. The photos must have been uploaded to 500px (not necessarily taken) in 2015.
2. No photographer may appear more than once on any list, so everybody gets a chance to be featured.
2015 was the year when, at least at 500px, the term urban exploration seemed to be redefined somewhat. No longer all about dilapidated and abandoned buildings, the community took the term “urban exploration” literally and began posting thousands of photos of urban environments.
For the Best of 2015 list, we did our best to weed out images that clearly don’t fit into this category while staying true to the most popular images as voted on by you.
