Wildlife Photography Contest results

Very exciting news! I just got a message from Elizabeth Brockwell-Tillman, Hoffmaster's Park Interpreter. She said I placed second!!!

I will be receiving a $50 gift certificate to the Camera Shop, in Muskegon.

This is the first photo contest I've ever entered so this certainly comes as a big surprise. I'm not quite sure what to think really. They also want to keep my print for their display collection. This is quite an honor.

It is really great that they hold these local contests and can offer such nice prizes. I'm not quite sure what I am going to do with the money... either a nice down payment on some binoculars or a new tripod. The tripod is a little more important to me right now as the one I currently have is pretty heavy.

In any case, I am elated. Starting a career in writing and photography is going to be very long and very tough. So far, I think I have a great start.

Tomorrow I'm going to be posting some shots that I took this weekend in Muskegon. Hopefully the sunset pictures of the lighthouse turn out well.
