youtoocrop

Winner of the ScratchCam category. I had just come out of a supermarket, heading to my car in the parking lot when, suddenly, I was struck by the beauty of the sky and clouds above my eyes. It was a lovely day in July, just before sunset, and I caught the breeze of mild summer [...]

Dandelion Wishes

Tony Docherty on DANDELION WISHES – WINNER OF THE PEOPLE/PORTRAIT CATEGORY. Dandelion Wishes is actually a combination of two images. I first shot the Dandelion while out walking. It was such a good specimen that I knew I had to use it but it sat on my phone for weeks. Over the years I’ve taken [...]

Jordan Cortese on ONE MORE FOR THE BRONX – WINNER OF THE SUNLIGHT CATEGORY Often times we photographers shoot an image not really knowing why it means so much to us and it’s often later, in the processing, that a story begins to unfold similar to the feeling of editing a film.

I was walking down the street early one morning and saw this well dressed man standing outside a deli. I asked permission to take his picture and after a couple of frames I asked him to hold my umbrella to hide the distracting elements in the background. It was overcast so the light was beautiful [...]

Kert Gartner on Iron Man

IronMan

This was a fun image to create. My friends and I were at Patricia Beach, near Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada last summer for the afternoon just hanging out and enjoying the day. It’s one of our favourite places to go and relax. I had just started messing around with iPhoneography on my 3GS, learning about the [...]
