And the winner is…
I recently invited you all to submit your best Fourth of July photo for our
Fourth of July Photo contest. All I can say is WOW! You all truly did an amazing job! I saw some incredible photos, and picking just one winner was very hard. Bravo to all of you, and thank you for participating.
The winner is Alexandro Jimenez Viveros, who submitted this fantastic fireworks shot taken on the Fourth of July at Minute Maid Park in Houston, TX. Alexandro set his Nikon D50 on Manual Mode, and set the Aperture to f/3.5, and the shutter speed to 3″ seconds at ISO 200. By keeping his ISO low, he was able to capture this fun shot with very little grain or digital noise. Fireworks shots are always more interesting when you include something of your surroundings. Great job Alexandro! Enjoy the iPod!
We also wanted to include some runner up photos. Two of our finalists (Shelly Laessig and Anonymous) utilized our Sparkler Sky Writing tips and captured these two striking images. We also had another fantastic fireworks image (George Oehl). Again, by placing the surrounding scene in the shot, the photo turned out amazing. Our final runner up (Ellis) featured a very cute shot of a little one testing out the pinwheels. Great Americana shot, and great framing.
Thanks again to everyone who participated! We will do another contest sometime soon. See you next time!
