Great photog contest! So many awesome pics from so many people. I didn't really contribute this year, because I see no point with an iPad camera (takes too long to upload my pics onto the computer and then submit them. That's me: always complaining about something that takes too long when in actuality it takes just a few seconds). Besides, with @dirtdorphins around, my photos are history!

Over and over again: First place, dirtdorphins. Second place, dirtdorphins. Third place, dirtdorphins. I never cease to be amazed by her wonderful photos. My praise and support never ends.

Of course, @evermorelawnless also has so many great ones as well, and he won the contest. So many talented photographers on this site!

I hope to be a part of and/or witness many more contests in the future.

@dirtdorphins well could be the best photographer at our house ;). She works so hard on it and keeps getting better and better and better at it. Constantly impressing me with what she shoots.

Plus she creates the most wonderful environment in which to shoot flowers, bees, nature, etc. Really remarkable. If you're ever in Utah, her gardens are really worth a visit! "Fireworks in slow motion..."

I guess it doesn't come as a surprise to me that you guys are related (?). Like I said, always great pictures!

Who was the trainer? Did you train dirt or did she train you? Or do you both just kind of get tips from each other?

Thank you Johannian (and Asa)
Truth is--he is the teacher and I am the student. I only started taking pictures when I joined this site --borrowed his camera and generally made a mess of things
But, I have put in a lot of effort to try and get better at it because the photos are there for all the world to see, and now I have my own camera and it's quite a bit of fun.

Congratulations to all the winners! That bee picture is amazing!

It is so evident that your hard work has paid off, Dirt. Your pictures are gorgeous!
