National Geographic International Photo Contest

I thought I'd mention that I finally got something published on National Geographic! Well kinda... :)

If you take being on the National Geographic website as being 'published' LOL! OK, ok, I have to admit I love the magazine, its photography and its mission so much that even being mentioned on their site makes me excited enough to post a blog entry :)

I submitted a few pix for their International Photo Contest and got short listed for two photos (along with a lot of other people mind you) on their site... The final winners will be chosen from this list. Considering that it's open to the world, I was pretty stoked that I even got two short-listed. There's some incredible shots in the competition from some very talented photographers and it's worth to take your time and look through it. The site can be found here: NGM Competition.


Here's a couple of screen caps of my photos on the NGM site:

Fall Colours

Every Fall (Autumn to the rest of world) in North America, photographers flock to conservation parks, trails, and other outdoorsy places to try and capture the changing leaves. Photographers who never stepped outside their studios or cities all summer, suddenly grab their wide-angle lens, filters and tripods and run out into the wild to join the rest in this annual migration to the outdoors! :)

This year, I actually made an effort to go out and grab some shots, but I didn't have the time to leave the city. I had to search within the Toronto limits for some Fall colours, but fortunately the one thing Canada has plenty of is land - and where there's land there's trees! I was also lucky enough to have a friend show me a little secluded spot above the Scarborough Bluffs in Toronto, with a spectacular view over Lake Ontario and the Scarborough marina.
