In Search of a Magazine Cover Photo
In Search of a Magazine Cover Photo
Back in June I described on my blog a trip I took where I'd focus on vertical day and night landscapes to enter into Outdoor Photographer magazine's Cover Photo contest: http://activesole.blogspot.com/2011/06/in-search-of-magazine-cover-photo.html
Well, my new shots from that trip didn't win, but a star trails shot from a couple of weeks earlier in Yosemite National Park did! I hear it'll be the November cover, which should hit newsstands in a few shot weeks. I should have a cover mock-up to show you shortly.
It's going to be Outdoor Photographer's best issue EVER! No, I don't know what will be inside yet, but the cover will rock, so they'd better make the rest good! I wonder if they'd consider not putting that big yellow title over my stars...
Update 9/12: Outdoor Photographer magazine has posted a copy of the October issue with an article on star trail photography:

I have a high res copy for prints or free ecards on 500px: http://500px.com/photo/973598

ReplyDeleteAwesome. Congrats - Was this during the June full moon?
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! Wonderful news...
ReplyDeleteExcellent shot - well deserved! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteSathish Jothikumar, It was in mid-May, right before the full moon. In 2010 the grass was too high and the water too low to get a good reflection, so some years April may be better.
ReplyDeleteWow!!!
ReplyDeleteJeffrey Sullivan A landscape version of this was shortlisted for Astronomy Photographer of the Year wasn't it, I definitely recognise it. One of mine got shortlisted too, so of to the awards night in Greenwich tonight =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, well deserved! I hope that issue reaches my corner of the world :)
ReplyDeleteRich Grundy They're actually different compositions/subjects taken on different days/months/years, from different angles. The astronomy shot focuses on a lunar rainbow, and like Tom Lowe's shot a couple of years ago was taken from a night timelapse sequence (we tried to meet up in the bristlecone pines that trip, but ended up missing each other). By coincidence, the moonbow entry was taken from the position of this timelapse, where I was shooting next to Tom last Summer: http://vimeo.com/18437624
ReplyDeleteI also shot a timelapse of the solar alignment event Steven Christenson captured in his winning shot last year: http://vimeo.com/18626912
I'm not expecting much from the astronomy contest, but I'm thrilled to follow my daughter's progress as she was also shortlisted.
Congrats on the cover, Jeff. Gorgeous shot.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I was under the impression that it would be the November issue, but it turns out it was the October issue, which started hitting mailboxes today! I got a phone call from a customer literally at the moment my Astronomy Photographer of the Year win was being announced. I answered the phone thinking it would be about that, but he was holding a copy of Outdoor Photographer. I've had a good day!
ReplyDeleteBrian Rachielles Thanks, I can't wait to see it!
That is some awesome and exciting news. Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't get better than that! Contrats!
ReplyDeleteMine was in the mailbox today !! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongrats again!
