So about two months ago or so I submitted a photo into a free photo contest online.

Yesterday I received a notice in the mail that I was selected as a semi-finalist AND that they want to publish my picture!!!!! This is the first contest I have ever entered so I am pretty pumped about this. Here is the picture I submitted:

 

Nice. Prize money?

 

Yeah there is, I just can't remember what it is right now.

 

Congrats!

Thats an awesome shot!

 

thats a damn good picture

 

Thanks!!

 

Host it on CSS.net so we can all see

 

Congrats, cool pic!

 

Very cool congrats man!

What kind of settings do you use to capture the water like that?

 

I just use a longer exposure. Probably somewhere around 1/5 or 1/10. I can not remember exactly what the exposure was that I used, but you need a tripod for sure because any movement will make everything blurry.

 

congrats, thats an awesome picture..... just make sure the contest is legit. I've done picture and poetry contests where they say you're a finalist and then make you spend all this money for the books or whatever in order to get your piece in it.

 

athabasca falls, jasper? lol

 

Yup! You got it!

 

congrats, where will it be published?

 

In the letter it said that I am under no obligation to spend money to get the picture published, and if I wanted to wait the book will be out in major national book stores (ie Coles, Chapters) in the spring so I can buy it there if I wanted to or buy it in advance for a discounted price before hand. And they also said if I do not like the book, I can return it for a 100% refund.

I think I am going to wait and find the book at the book store before I buy it and see what it looks like.

Thanks for the headsup though!

Check out www.picture.com

That is the main website. I believe they are publishing it somewhere in the USA, just not too sure where exactly.

 

i love that little mountain road there the old highway 93.... i think its 93... i drove way to fast. lol. congrats anyways!!

 

Yeah it is a great road. Good drive with the SS S/C...can open it up in some places and in others there are lots of turns. Beautiful scenery for sure!

 

Cool, I have a good friend who has a couple pics on that site, one was put in a book but didn't go as far as you have, his was just a pic of a bridge, lol. Congrats

 

thats a nice picture. so simple yet really good shot.

 

Thanks!

 

Sweet pic indeed! Congrats!
