Arlington Camera Photo Contest Winner

Arlington, TX - Arlington Camera held a "Dog Days of Summer" Photo Contest this summer. I entered my shot of Pilot from earlier this summer. The judges at Arlington Camera were kind enough to select it as the WINNER of the Pets Division. We did not win the grand prize, but I am proud of the recognition from Arlington Camera. You can see all of the contest winners by visiting the Arlington Camera website.

Here is the winning photo:

Winner: International Girl Cover Model Award

Congratulations to one of my new clients, Macy Fangman, who won the National Cover Model Award given by the International Girl Pageant System. Macy won the award after submitting a photo taken by yours truly, Chris Smith, of Agile Images. We're very proud that the photo, and Macy, received such recognition. This is the winning photo.

Agile Images, Editor's Picks at BetterPhoto.com

I thought I would start a post to link to some of my photo awards and recognitions from various sites. These photos were all chosen as "Editor's Picks" at www.betterphoto.com, a photography website that offers courses, member galleries, and contests. Generally, I have found it to be a good resource for meeting other photographers and learning about the craft. The Editor's Pick is a photo submitted that the Better Photo staff selects as one of the outstanding photos submitted on a given day. Each day there are thousands of new photos added to Better Photo's Site.

Thanks for looking. On each of these I tried to make a comment that describes the technique or camera settings I used. If you're a new photographer, sometimes it helps to be able to see someone else's work and reverse engineer it the next time you are in a similar shooting situation.
