LPM Manfrotto Competition Winner Theme Water

Fall Water Rocks
Fall Water Rocks

Wow!

I just got the following email! –

“Hello Andrew

Congratulations, the picture you submitted for our February competition with theme ‘Water’ has won the first prize. [snip…]

http://landscapephotographymagazine.com/2013/lpm-manfrotto-competition-winner-theme-water/

Paul”

and from the main website:

“We loved Andrew’s image for many reasons. The composition was slightly complicated and yet, extremely pleasing and well designed to keep your eyes staring at it for a while. It contained beautifully vivid colours and gorgeous reflections. The exposure was very well controlled and so was the shutter speed. All in all, a superb image and well worth to win our February competition.”

I am SO honored to have been chosen the Winner with so many other awesome entries!

For what it is worth, I bought my current tripod, a Bogen (#3020), when I was about 18, which was over 30+ years ago, so I greatly look forward to trying out something more modern!

Thank you to the folks at landscapephotographymagazine.com and Manfrotto for this!

The cameras in my life…

It is another rainy day here in Chester County, so I decided to catch-up on an old mental project – Start to photograph my photography collect (cameras, trays, etc.).

Why not, I have been working on getting the studio back in order, so…

as you can see, I have used a few different ones over the years!

Now all I have to do, is add some story text to each camera…

Studio Play (Brother and Sister)

It has been a while, but once again, I have calmed my photography studio space back again!

I lose the “studio” every couple of months, to some family life event…

Which is good, in the sense, because I have to clean-up and set-up, which forces me to be more efficient.

In theory…

Anyhow, after a morning doing another set-up, and a half-day of school for the kids, I had them sit in front of my camera, to take some pictures.

Can you tell they have been in front of the camera before?

and the sugary snacks helped a little!

Now off to Girl Scouts!
