Audubon Magazine Birds In Focus Winner

Web Dennis_Goulet_GreenbreastedMango — Green-breasted Mango

GRAND PRIZE WINNER

My image of a Green-breasted Mango was selected as Grand Prize Winner of the Audubon Magazine Birds In Focus photography contest. It was selected from the 8,000 entries in this year’s competition. The image is one of the thousands of images I captured during my trip to Costa Rica in March 2010. You can find the announcement of the winners at Audubon Magazine.

Another of my entries was selected as one of the Top 100 images of the contest and can be seen here. Rather than tell you which one is mine, I’ll leave it to you to explore all of these wonderful images. After you see these images, you’ll understand how honored I am that my image was selected from among those images.

Fall Color in Rhode Island

The leaves are changing and there’s no predicting where it will be good color, or when. For the first time ever I ventured into western RI to find locatons for fall color photogrpahy. All of these images used High Dynamic Range techniques to capture the hightlight and shadow detail in the high contrast situations. While I definitely needed this technique for cases where the scene was in a dark location (graveyard, stream) and it was backlit, I tried it on reflected light scenes to see if it made a difference and to get some experience in processing those types of images. The first two images were taken 8 October at Carbuncle Pond, and the others were taken on or near the Scituate Resevoir on 13 October.

Jack-o-Lantern Spectacular

Thesea photos were taked at the Jack-o-Lantern Spectacular at Roger Williams Zoo. The featured pumpkins are painted with black ink on teh outside and carved on the inside to allow differing amounts of light to shine through the pumpkin. Hundreds of traditionally carved pumpkins also line the walkway and fill in the spaces around pumpkins decoreated following the theme for the year.
