Ok, I figured I would give everyone a quick update of what photos I have entered into contests and where they have placed. I have been pretty excited over all of my entries.
"Colorado Blizzard"
In December 2006, Equine Photographers Network hosted a contest/assignment that was to capture images of horses on the Solstice of December in their surroundings. I woke up that day bummed because we were still having a blizzard and that meant no getting out and mingling with the horses. Here is the image I captured of the horses surviving another round of brutal weather. Colorado Blizzard placed First in the Winter Solstice Competition and was as Photo of the Week in January.
In May, 2007 "Colorado Blizzard" was also entered into the Open Print Competition sponsored by Equine Photographers Network and shown in Craig Colorado. This photo placed First in the Natural Horse Category and was picked as the Best in Show by the judge, Scott Trees.
"Protection"
I entered a photo similar to this in the Arts Perspectives magazine photo contest. The image is titled "Protection" as it shows the horses standing behind a round bale feeder in a morning ground blizzard with the winds raging. There are also birds huddled close to the horses heads in the hay. This photo was a Top 3 Finalist in the portrait category and is available for sale. It is framed with a black frame and white matting 36" wide and 24" tall. My husband made the comment that it almost looks 3D when you see it in person. I traveled to Durango, Colorado for the opening of the Arts Perspective showing in April.
"Horse-Power"
In March, Equine Photographers Network hosted a Equinox photojournalistic assignment. The goal was to capture the best photo that would demonstrate the horse in its environment in black and white. It was voted as Second in the Equinox Competition and was beat out by a fantastic photo taken by Carien Schippers. I feel honored to be placed behind such an awesome photographer as her images grace many of the catalogs I recieve in my mail box.
The title of this images comes from the demonstration of how horse power is now generated through wind turbines.
More to come later!
