Orange County Fair 2007 Photography Contest Results, Part 2

Here's the second and last batch of photos from this year's Orange County Fair photography contest. All told, I got 19 ribbons out of 24 total entries. Note that the photos on this and the last post show selections from what I entered, but not every entry (or even every winner). Oh, and I have plans to show at the Virginia State Fair this year too, which will be a first for me. More info on that soon enough. Now let's get to the photos...


Architecture: Colour
An antique store building in North Carolina (I think...). Took first place.


Plant Study: Black and white
Infrared shot of river grass, took 3rd place. Compettion is always very heavy in the plant-study categories.


Pets: Black and White
Bijou! She's just yawning, but it kind of looks like she's singing. 3rd place.


Plant Study: Colour
No ribbon for this shot, although I really liked it. There were a lot of wonderful entries in both plant categories.


Special Effect: Colour
Trick shot of lights inside a giant molecule. Another first-place showing.


What Is It: Black and White
Smoothed rocks eroded by the passing river over the centuries. I like this shot because it has no point of size reference, and it's up to the viewer to decide whether they're looking at very small rocks or something enormous. In reality, the area shown in the photo was about 10 feet across. First place in category.
