Rick Allen Photography Blog

The NorthCascadesPhoto.com contest ends this weekend, and for a contest with hardly any promotion, it drew some rather talented photographers.  Images were truly across the gamut, from people in campsites to vistas along Hwy 20 to aereal shots to remote hikes into the the highest elevations of the Park.  One might imagine that the skill level of the photographer was equally diverse.  Some were “point-and-shoot”-ers, whereas others were of professional skill level. 

Now it is my turn to organize the photos and then to create a list of finalists from which a panel of Park Service Specialists will select the final winners.  While only one image will win the LowePro Dryzone Camera bag, there are several truly excellent submissions.  And I hope to talk the Park Service into posting more than one on their Home Page … (Michael, are you reading this, hint, hint).

I hope to create a Gallery on RickAllenPhoto.com exhibiting all submissions and then to have them dropped onto Flickr.  The panel will decide upon the best few and then will separately announce when they will be posted.

Thanks to everyone who submitted images and who helped with the contest.
