Weekly Winners: August 10-16

in Photography, Weekly Winners

Yesterday I attended a seminar given by nature photographer Larry Winslett. He’s taken photographs at Stone Mountain for more than 30 years (among lots of other places). Basically, he answered our general questions and then we walked and talked and photographed along the Nature Garden Trail at Stone Mountain.

I learned a LOT, and we’ll definitely attend more seminars offered by Winslett. Here are my photos for the week, all from the seminar.

I shot this reflection while we were waiting for all the seminar members to arrive. It turns out this young woman was taught in the first grade by my aunt. Small world…

I am so jealous you got to take the seminar!! You got some fantastic shots out of it - I seriously can’t pick a favorite, although I think it might be the close up of the needles on the branch. That’s just really cool.

Beautiful shots, all of them! I love that you took a class; I think all of your shots are so good that you shouldn’t need classes! I know we can all benefit from continued learning - that’s why I love it…gives me hope somehow!

Love the close up of the pine needles. Interesting perspective!

You’re so sweet! The more I learn about photography, the more I realize I have to learn. I do o.k. for doing stuff “by feel,” but I want to know MUCH more about how to get precisely what I want. Does that make sense?

27 KAT 08.18.08 at 12:41 am

beautiful! They are all so vivid.
