A Photo Contest results

Recently I entered some photos into a photo contest that was done by one of the photo clubs I am a member of. I was pleased with how I did. I would have loved to have placed in everything I entered but realistically I know that is not possible especially with several of the phenomenal photographers that are members. One of the best parts of entering into this club's contest is the feedback on how to improve my photography.

Here is the photo that won the Open Category and was runner up to Best of Show. It is the Decorah Bank Building. This was taken in July at the Nordic Fest and was a HDR. I have had this photo on this blog when I talked about building an HDR.

I had an Honorable Mention with my Black and White Spider Web. This photo was on this blog last week.

My other Honorable Mention was the San Fernando Cathedral in San Antonio. This was the photo that was accepted into the State Fair and discussed in that post.

Sorry that there is not as much content to my blog this week, but it has been a very busy week and I did not have much time to write.

State Fair Results

Earlier this summer I entered 4 photographs into the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon and one of my photos was accepted. This is actually a big deal because only a little over 20% of the photos submitted are accepted.

The one that was accepted was San Fernando Cathedral which is in San Antonio, TX. I took this photograph on March 16, 2012 at 9:30pm.

The other three photos I entered but were not accepted are below:

Iowa State Campanile

Bricks Bar and Grill

Pink Lily

If you have a chance to go to the Iowa State Fair make sure you take time to go through the Photography Salon in the Cultural Center Building. There are a lot of fabulous photos that were entered this year. I would love to post about the winners but I do not have their permission. For the list of the results you can go to the Iowa State Fair website: Iowa State Fair and look under the competition tab for the competition results.
