Grand Prize: driftwood caught amongst the rocks by Eric Poggemann
|
Thank you to all who entered the River Alliance's fourth annual photo contest. There were so many GREAT entries this year. We look forward to featuring many of these amazing shots in our literature and on our website throughout the year.
This year we had five categories. A winner was selected in each category. Our grand prize winner was Eric Poggemann from Fredonia, Wisconsin (aka EPOG), who captured our grand prize-winning photograph (20091126) at the headwaters of a stream fed by Boulder Lake.
"It's a little gem of an area," according to Eric. "The main subject in the photo is the piece of driftwood caught amongst the rocks. I used a slow shutter speed to emphasize the movement of water around the boulders and driftwood. The photo was most dramatic converted to black and white."
All of the winning images will be printed in FLOW, the River Alliance of Wisconsin quarterly print newsletter with the grand-prize winner's image featured on the cover. Eric will receive a 11x14 print of their photograph, matted and framed.
