Well…the judging took place this weekend for the Iowa State Fair Photography Salon. All the participants anxiously await the “golden ticket” which will let us know if all, some or none of our submissions (maximum of four) will be awarded/displayed at this year’s ISF. I submitted four photos in the following classes: People (Black and White); Sports; Planes; Trains and Automobiles; and Panoramic. I had a couple of last minute changes as I brought some alternates to the Southwest Iowa Shutterbug Club meeting for some second opinions. So, here are the four that were viewed by the judges this weekend.
Preliminarily, one of the volunteers who was around for judging said that there were a little over 800 photographers who submitted around 2400 photos. From his analysis of data since 2009, about 23% of the submitted images get exhibited. I’ll let you know if any are going forward when the “golden ticket” arrives in the next couple of weeks.
