We present two galaxy shape catalogues from the Dark Energy Survey Year 1 data set, covering 1500 deg^2 with a median redshift of 0.59. The catalogues cover two main fields: Stripe 82, and an area overlapping the South Pole Telescope survey region. We describe our data analysis process and in partic...
