july contest

May 2005

Hosted by Nitsa

Welcome to the Photoblogs magazine July's photo challenge.

Again, it was such a killer choosing the winners out of so many beautiful and creative images! So please don't feel discouraged if I didn't chose your photo this time and see yourself invited to try again for our next issue.

I think the best part about it all is that these images arrive to my mailbox from so many different places around the world. I received entries from places like Pakistan, Paris, Taiwan, Morocco, Portugal, Bulgaria, Ireland, Philippines and so on. Pretty cool, huh?!

If you would like to participate in the next photo challenge go here for more details.

"Route 138" by E.Clark

"Taken on a recent vacation to visit friends in Los Angeles. Most of the time I'm a railroad photographer and had just spent a few hours shooting the traffic on Cajon Pass. The country and landscape there impressed me enough that I didn't want to leave. Reality set in and I had to go. On the way down the winding road back to the main highway, I took several out the window. Fantastic locations out there in California and I can't wait to get back! I miss it and the people I visited out there already. Camera was the DimageZ1 set on manual. 1/800 sec @ F6.3 50asa" - E.Clark

Second place
"Red Barn" by Robert Cattan
Cooperstown, NY

"This subject matter is a classic cliche. I try to capture it with a different twist my goal was to make it look like a Painting in the tradition of The Hudson River School of Painting." - Robert Cattan

Third place
"Stairway" by Reza Masoudi Nejad
Tate Modern, London
