and Honorable Mention


CATEGORIES INCLUDE:

  • Flowers: Show us interesting, unique and beautiful pictures of flowers at the Wood Shoe Tulip Farm. They can be shot using macro lenses and modes or consider a zoom, wide-angle or creative lenses. Don’t limit yourself and get creative!
  • Details & Macro: Getting in close is the trick for this category. We welcome pictures of small details that tell a larger story. Don’t limit yourself to just flower shots, think abstract; a water drop, insects, leafs, ice crystals, etc. Anything goes as long as it is a tight composition. Remember that a macro image of a flower might also go into the “Flower” category.
  • Landscape & Field: These pictures include landscapes, sunsets, field shots of the tulips and may also include hot air balloons or other major landmarks in the fields.
  • Catch All: This category is for the pictures that may not fit with the other three categories. But remember it must be taken at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm and may include landmarks such as the Tractors, Windmills, Wooden Shoes, or pictures with People and Animals etc.

2009 Embrace the Blur Photo Contest


2008 1st Place Winner
Bruce Beaton

Embrace the Blur

Demonstrate your creativity with blur photography. That's right, instead of avoiding the blur, embrace it! So show us your inspirational photos that "embrace the blur" with toy cameras, through the finder, tilt/shift, night shooting, depth of field, Holga modding and anything else you can think of, just make sure the focus is blur!

Blur can be used to show how life feels more than how it looks. Use it to draw the eye, create a sense of motion, and show life more for how it feels than how it looks.

This photo contest is sponsored by Lensbaby, makers of awesome selective focus lenses. If your submission is selected for this theme, you might get the New Lensbaby Composer Lens or the .42x Super Wide Angle Conversion Lens.
