Landscape Photo Contest Results

We’ve had another tough time selecting the winning photographs for our 2010 Landscape Photography Contest… with well over four thousand entries, the task of whittling down so many technically excellent shots was quite a challenge! We would like to thank everyone who entered and we hope to see many more of your photographs in future contests!

Before proceeding, we would like to thank our terrific sponsors, Lensbaby and SmugMug, who generously donated some of the prizes. The winner and two runners-up will receive prizes as described on this page.

First of all, a big thank you to everyone who entered our Landscape Photography Contest, once again we have been amazed by the quality of the entries received! The winning photographs will be announced by the end of this month.

The third competition in our 2010 photo contest series is now open for entries. The theme is “Wildlife”. We are looking for images of wild animals that stand out from the crowd… maybe it will be a striking portrait that catches our eye or perhaps the image will reveal an interesting aspect of an animal’s behaviour. Photographs of animals in captivity are eligible for entry but if this is the case, please disclose it in the caption. Please note that photos of domestic animals such as pets and livestock are not eligible. The deadline for this contest is 31st October 2010.

Prizes

We have some fantastic prizes on offer including the chance to win a Canon EOS 7D Digital SLR camera (more info).

Lensbaby and Smugmug have generously donated the following additional prizes:

Kanha National Park

India is an incredible country – a vibrant, bustling place that overwhelms the senses. There’s nothing that quite prepares you for the noise, dust and heat that assaults you upon arrival and I came back from this trip more worn down than when I had departed. Having said that, India is a great place for photography. It may be one of the most densely populated countries in the world, but in terms of wildlife diversity it is also one of the richest.

Jordan: An Arabian Adventure

At the end of March I spent just over a week in Jordan. It was a fantastic trip because the country boasts many amazing sights and it is possible to achieve a great deal in a short amount of time.

We started our journey on the shores of the Dead Sea, a body of water with a salinity of 33.7% – that is 8.6 times saltier than the ocean! Due to this high salt content, swimming in the Dead Sea is a unique experience as you literally float like a cork! The wind was very strong while I was “swimming” and it whipped spray off the tops of the waves and into my eyes… the stinging sensation that ensued was also a very memorable experience!

Our next stop was Petra, an ancient city that I have wanted to visit since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade came out in 1989! Petra was the capital city of the Nabataeans and is staggeringly old having been established sometime around the 6th century BC. The buildings at Petra are colossal and have been carved straight into the rose-coloured sandstone cliffs.

Pet Photo Contest Results

Selecting the winning photographs for our Pet Portraits photo contest has been an epic undertaking! We had around 4,500 entries and the overall standard was incredibly high. There were so many cute and characterful pets and so many talented photographers that judging this contest was a pleasure and a privilege. We had so many favourites that whittling down the numbers for this blog post was quite a challenge. We would like to say a massive thank you to everyone who entered.

Before proceeding, we would like to thank our terrific sponsors, Lensbaby and SmugMug, who generously donated some of the prizes. The winner and two runners-up will receive prizes as described on this page.

Falkland Islands talk at the London Wetland Centre

We are giving a talk at the London Wetland Centre on Sunday, 30th May 2010 at 12pm. If you are free and don’t live too far away then we would love to see you there!

We will be talking about our recent trip to the Falkland Islands and illustrating the presentation with lots and lots of photographs! We will reveal how we took some of our favourite pictures and tell you a bit about the animals themselves. There will be some time at the end for us to answer any questions you might have. The talk is free once you have paid admission to the Wetland Centre (admission prices can be found here). For an idea of what we will be talking about, take a look at the following posts: Falkland Islands Photography, Penguins, Penguins, Penguins! & Nesting Shags – Varying the Perspective.
