Award For Photographic Excellence

Each Sunday I give an award to one of my favourite blogging photographers. The award is is no particular order so please don't feel left out if others precede you!

The recipient is welcome to display the award on their blog but is equally welcome not to do so. There is no passing on or writing deep secrets necessary. It is simply an acknowledgement from me of how much I have appreciated the person’s photographs.

Today's Photographic Excellence Award goes to
Willteri from Finland .

Willteri does a wonderful job of showing how photogenic a country Finland is, especially during the winter. I just wish I could understand Finnish so I could read the descriptions but perhaps it is an added tribute that the photos nearly always speak for themselves. I have picked as one of my favourite photos this one from this one from January.

Indeed the whole of January (tammikuu) 2009 is one wonderful photo after another.


 

An Award

I have decided to give an award to my favourite blogging photographers. When I first started blogging and looking at Blogs it was the excellence of people’s photos that attracted me. Nowadays I am equally interested in the writing but every now and then a particular photo reminds me how many brilliantly talented amateurs there are out there.


The recipient is welcome to display it on their blog but is equally welcome not to do so. There is no passing on or writing deep secrets necessary. It is simply an acknowledgement from me of how much I have appreciated the person’s photographs.

I have decided to give the award to one person every Sunday until I run out of folk to give it to. So this is my first awarding of the Photographic Excellence Award.



And the first person is Jen of Jennifer Photography and My Moments. Jen hails from the USA.

I decided that each time I made the award I would direct readers to a particular photo that captured my attention. Gosh, I hadn’t anticipated how hard it would be to choose just one. In the end I chose this one for Jen but really I would simply recommend a trip back through Jennifer Photography to get an idea of the breadth and depth of her skill at finding subjects and capturing atmosphere. Thank you, Jen, for all the enjoyment you have given me.
