Motionality Photo Contest

Well I just found out that two out of three of my submissions for the Motionality Photo show have been juried into the show. I am actually quite suprised. I was hoping for one.

The two selected were Night Rider and Carousel Ride.

The show will be in Dawsonville, GA sometime in October. I'll post dates and times once I know them so that anyone local can attend if so desired

Photo Show #1

Received word today that two of my photos were juried in to the "Through the Lens" photography show in September.

There were 173 photos submitted by 45 photographers. Of those 173 submissions 73 were juried into the show. That is 42% acceptance. I had two of four accepted which is 50%, so I am very happy.

The two accepted were the sunflowers (Selling Sunshine) and the deer (Cades Cove Deer).

Judging will be Sepetember 22 with winners announced on September 23, I will not be here for the show and I guess will not know if I won anything until I return the following Monday.

Another Photography Show

I have entered some more phtotos in a local photography show. This one, like the previous one is a juried show. We were allowed to submit three pictures. They will announce next week which pictures will be selected for exhibition.

The theme of this show is "Motionality".  The idea is convey motion in a still photography. This is a big departure from my usual landscape/nature/flower photography. Guess we will see how I do.

Below are my three entries. I have my fingers crossed

NIGHT RIDER

WIND SURFER

CAROUSEL RIDE

Local Photography Show

From these six pictures I need to select 4 to submit to a local photography contest. It is a juried contest, so after I pick four and submit them, then someone will review my submissions and decide if they will be accepted for the photography show. If any are selected I then have to fram and mat the ones selected. They will be on dispaly in September locally. There are ribbons, cash and a little prestige for the winners.

The theme is "Visions of the Southern Appalachians"

Let me know what you like.

Day Two

This was taken with my cell phone, so it's not the highest quailty but it's what I had available. This is the Capitol buildiing in Springfield, IL. We were walking back to the hotel after having dinner. The structure I'd magnificenh. Much bigger and grander than Georgia's.

I will come back and edit this later and add more about the first two days of the trip
