p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · The Alt Monthly Competition #50


Yet again, I'm sorry for the very late post this month. I have been so swamped...this past weekend was actually the first time I even had time to shoot in the past 2 weeks. (I even forgot to submit an image, which bummed me out).

It's the 50th Alt Monthly Competition - Let's make it great!

Post your best shot from July, 2016 and vote for your top 3 from Competition #49 here: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1439960

Last month, Snowboarder ran away from the competition with 21 points for the shot below. This is his second win overall, and first since the very first Alt Monthly competition:

In second place, HelenaN with 13 points:

And in third place with 9 points, Frogfish:

Thanks Robert. I got lucky - the glass frog didn't look up to the other 3 photographers I was with!

Congrats to Snowboarder, HelenaN and Frogfish!

Camera body: Sony A7R
Lens: Zony FE 24-70 f/4 @ 30mm
Aperture: f/16
Filters: none
Short note on PP: This is a 3 shot pano, built from 6 shots total (2 vertical bracket shots contributed to each third of the pano). Everything manually blended (including the "HDR"), merged into a cylindrical pano and cropped to 1x1.
Top vote (3p) + reason: Frogfish. Love the comp, moody light and exposure.
Runner-up vote (2p): Listera's macro.
Last vote (1p): austinschutz. In spite of the shoulder that's in the way I really like the captured moment. BTW I would recomend taking out most of the shoulder with a 1x1 crop

I barely shot in July (and haven't shot much more in August), so it was a lean month for me. Still, I liked this capture quite a lot.

Congratulations to Snowboarder for his win in last month's comp. Awesome shot ! Also to Helena for her excellent metro shot. And thanks for voting me into 3rd - very happy with that !

I'm sorry I can't vote this month as due to my wife's medical issues (very happily now resolved) the cameras have remained on the shelf for the past couple of months. Some really cool shots this month too, Jordan's made me laugh !

I've just noticed this - Thank you Austin, that's very kind of you !

Actually I am planning a blog/photographic website so it's in the works, hopefully up before the end of the year
