I recently entered my first non-Farktography contest. It was for a local multi-county calendar with the subject of “Life in Northwest Ohio.” It’s really more exciting than it sounds. But this calendar is also my primary inspiration for pursuing photography to begin with. So i decided to pick out a handful of shots, send em in and see what happens.
Long story longer, woohoo won first place! I really nearly didn’t even submit this one because I liked it less than the others, the vertical orientation, and I hate the crop at 8×10. But my wife liked it so I did it to appease her. Guess I learned from this one… 😳 Anyhow here is my shot, in all her glory. At least there is prize money = woohoo new lens!
