bog logoTime to wrap up the Bag O’ Goodies contest.

Huge thanks for everyone who participated. This was the final round of this assignment, and the last chance to win (Literally) a Bag O’ Goodies.

As always with those kinda contests, It was a hard pick and as always, I wished I had more prizes to give away. read on for the five runners up, the winner and another glimpse on the prizes.

And The Runners Up Are…

In no particular order, I loved all five, only one will win.

Don’t you just love it when someone learns something new and immediately goes out and try it out! that’s the spirit. Combine the great rim lights with three kids you wouldn’t want to meet in a dark ally and you have a great portrait. (This one actually got extra credit for using the strobrella)

New York Yankees Fan (Levy Carneiro Jr)

There is something about classic portraits that always gets me. This one is no exception. For great lights, great connection and great overall portraiture, the Yankee fan makes it to the top 5.

At first I was kinda surprised that an on camera flash was used as a submission for this contest. Yet, it was a perfect tool for the job. A long pan @200mm with a touch of a motions freezing strobe did wonders to convey how the the end of the track must have felt like.

This action shot taken in The Providence Roller Derby shows some shutter dragging that conveniently ends up right under a framing overhead light. Surprisingly shot with an shoot through umbrella (must have been pretty close to those skaters), it is here for excellent drag and framing that really shows the action.
