I went to my monthly photography club competition last night.
It was an open competition, so I knew it would be a tough one.
It took a while to pick out photos to enter.
Well I lucked out by the fact that the judge was a great nature photographer, and all of my shots were nature shots.
Check out what he does.
He's got some great shots there and on his stock photo site here.
I won two 1st places ribbons and a 2nd place ribbon.....it felt great!
Here are the shots
Terry ! That rocks. Were all those shots taken with your new cam? Good work :)
Thanks everyone...
Yes, actually the woods and cormorant were taken with the Canon.
In fact the woods was with the kit lens(18-55) and the cormorant was with a cheap canon 75-300mm lens. Just goes to show that you can produce decent shots with the cheaper lenses.
The butterfly was with my Sony 717...only taken a few weeks after I got it.
Make sure you look at that judge's sites..he is fantastic!
You could interpret the three ribbons as a sign that your art is at the level where people are willing to pay for it. You ought to put some images in DPCPrints.
Really good shots - congratulations! I love the first one - very unique in the feeling. Also checked out the site you linked - very cool - have not seen a site like that until now - thanks for providing the link. again - well done!!!
