The Winner of the "Spirit of Easter" photo comp.

Well how glad was I that I was not involved in the judging process.  We had an amazing 16 entires for our first ever photo comp and I would like to thank everyone who sent their photos in.  Its a scary thing to have your photos put up in front of everyone ( as I know by sitting through camera club judging each month having someone tear your work apart).

Camera Dude takes his responsibility very seriously and actually poured over the entires for quiet some time.  He was very torn between them all and came down to 2.



The final decision was made and the winner is................

Beth Fernley from Five Little Monkeys Photography.    

The judge said that having children on an Easter Egg hunt was what won the challenge for him and he loved the true spirit of one girl holding another back as he is the "Easter Bunny" at our place with our 2 boys and knows only to well how competitive they can be with easter eggs involved.

Congratulations Beth.  You are our first winner and will receive a beautiful necklace from Camera Chick of the colour of your choice.   But what Beth does not know is she will be one of the first ones to receive one of our new "Silver chain" necklaces with the same Charms on them.  She will also go into the draw for a major prize at the end of the year ( May 2013) where you get to decide which photo is the winner.

Beth's facebook page is at https://www.facebook.com/5lmphotos so pop over and congratulate her and say hi from us.

So please email me your choice and your address to sales@camerachick.com.au

Now.....there is always a runner up and I have to say, camera Dude was very torn between which one to award first place to.  This one actually made him laugh and he said " you know - this is not the Spirit of Easter - this is the reality of Easter".  

 This image was taken by Haley Bradley and really deserves a special mention.

I think all of the photos are amazing - and am really happy to not be involved in the process.  Thank you everyone for your entires and as I am away for the month of May, I will be doing the next challenge next week.


In keeping with "The Spirit"  there can be no more fitting subject than what is happening next week.

Our "May" photo contest will be

"The Spirit of Anzac"

So get the creative juices flowing, get out on Australia day and take some amazing shots of some amazing people.  Keep in mind, that Camera Dude is a sticker for following Briefs, and is actually in this line of people taken at last years parade ( he is a Navy dude)

Entries will close Sat 28th April ( even though this is the May challenge) at 5pm.  The next challenge wont be until June when I get back and will be something very different.
