Minquas Fire Company Open House

My son and I were out doing Saturday errands, when we happened by the Minquas Fire Company Open House, and what boy could resist Firetrucks…

We spent about a half-hour wandering around, looking at the various pieces of equipment, and being very thankful, that these folks are under 5 minutes away from my home!

Later in the evening, I got a Facebook mail from the folks at the station house, asking if they could use the photo I took during the Super Moon for their Facebook profile.

I quickly responding by saying Yes!

LPM Manfrotto Competition Winner Theme Water

Fall Water Rocks

Wow!

I just got the following email! –

“Hello Andrew

Congratulations, the picture you submitted for our February competition with theme ‘Water’ has won the first prize. [snip…]

http://landscapephotographymagazine.com/2013/lpm-manfrotto-competition-winner-theme-water/

Paul”

and from the main website:

“We loved Andrew’s image for many reasons. The composition was slightly complicated and yet, extremely pleasing and well designed to keep your eyes staring at it for a while. It contained beautifully vivid colours and gorgeous reflections. The exposure was very well controlled and so was the shutter speed. All in all, a superb image and well worth to win our February competition.”

I am SO honored to have been chosen the Winner with so many other awesome entries!

For what it is worth, I bought my current tripod, a Bogen (#3020), when I was about 18, which was over 30+ years ago, so I greatly look forward to trying out something more modern!

Thank you to the folks at landscapephotographymagazine.com and Manfrotto for this!

Featured – Best of flick on twitter (Belgium)

In doing my morning reading, I got a twit from François Kidd (@giefkai), saying that he had featured my Flickr “Cloud Hunting” images in his Monday Leisure section!

Needless to say, I am honored that some one in Belgium would take interest in some Storm Clouds in Chester County!

But then again, that is the power of the internet!

Thanks again François Kidd!
