The competition this year was furious, with a fair amount of new talent from the
newly graduated basic class moving in to grab some of the top spots. The following
scanned, black and white versions of the pictures don't do the photographers justice,
particularly the sunrise and sunset pictures. You can check out the full color images
on our web site, but they're still scanned - if you want to see the originals, you'll
have to show up at the competition itself next year! A few folks managed to abscond
with their images before we could get a hold of them to scan them in, but they should
at least get mention here: For "Climbing Scenes, Slides", 3rd place was
"Ice Man Demo" by Derek Marshall. For "Mountain Scenes, Slides", 3rd
place was "The Big One" by Erich Koekler. The third place winner in the "Most Embarrassing,
Prints" category must have really thought their photo was embarrassing, since they
grabbed it and left before we even had a chance to record who and what it was. If
any of the three of you would like to have your winning picture in the next issue
of the Echo, send �em my way, and I'll get them scanned in!
You'll get a chance to see the Echo Cover category winners on next year's newsletters.
Thanks to everyone who participated, and start keeping track of your best pictures
this year for next year's competition!
