We had 38 entries in our Fall 2012 Nature & Landscape Shootout for the Comm 316 class excursion #2 and here are the winners and finalists! Congratulations to all the finalists, and thanks to the four judges. (I asked a variety of photographers to help me evaluate these.) Tim is the big winner and will receive his choice of a Sunpak pistol grip tripod or a YN 560 flash. Let me know your wishes, Tim!
I will also hold a “Best of Semester Contest” after our third excursion to Jackson with prizes in the following categories:
1. Nature / Landscape
2. Light Painting (since we did more after the assignment was over)
3. Portrait HDR Composites
4. Comm 316 Excursion Highlights
The above topics cover some things that are not part of our assigned projects. I have been seeing some incredible images in a variety of genres this semester. I will also be recognizing the best in each of the assigned projects:
PORTRAITS: Graduates, Fashion, Corporate, Large Group, Full Client Session
CREATIVE: Movie Poster, Light Painting, Creative Choice, Macro, Food/Product
