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: http://www.outdoorphotographer.com/how-to/sh...
I tried for this shot last year and missed it and This year I was on the Oregon Coast getting Rained on and missed it again! Next Year I'm staying all week till I get it! Great Work!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but this whole thing gets on my nerves a bit. People need to start exploring more and copying less. How many photos of this does the world need?
ReplyDeleteJesse Estes I had never seen a shot even remotely like this when I first shot it years ago (I had seen Galen Rowell's take from a different location). Granted my image from 4 years ago have been viewed about 300,000 times by now plus any copies of it I don't know of, but I went back to replace my own shot on a newer generation camera at higher resolution with less noise. Fair enough?
ReplyDeleteWhatever angle there might be, it's still the same shot to me. There are better things out there is all I'm saying. No creativity these days...
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't even bother posting this shot...
