Default OMFGosh... must toot for my Mike

All we can say at the moment is OMFGosh! We just received email notification that one of Mike's photos won for our Atlanta Scott Kelby's 2009 Worldwide Photowalk.

So for all of those out there who think your little point & shoots are inferior to those of us with dslrs... you are wrong! Mike's photo was taken with his point & shoot!!

I am extra tickled because I built my own presets in processing my photowalk photos and he processed his winning shot using the one I built for a similar photo.

Mr. Sure-I'll-Come-Along-And-Snap-A-Few-Shots-So-I-Press-This-Button-To-Use-Your-Preset-Right? won! Here is his winning shot.

That is awesome!!! Congrats Mike! I always chuckle when I think of him with the monopod as a walkingstick.... That is quite extraordinary!


(I am also reminded that I totally forgot to upload photos to the site...) Blah.

Doh! You had some really great shots Aino, that is too bad.

I also still chuckle when I think of Mike with the monopod as a walkingstick and his tiny little camera on top of it... I went looking through my photos from the walk and realized I have a shot of him taking his winning shot!

Oh no! Scrapping is my escape and he already sometimes gives me a lil too much feedback... he does have a great eye and sometimes it is frustrating but like now, so proud of him!

Heather, much congrats to Mike on his winning shot! That is a very interesting & striking composition; I can see why it was chosen. And your preset must have made it just extra perfect! Very cool for you both!

Great eye! Love the worm-hole effect of the barbed wire and the perspective of the tall buildings!
