This weekend, two Travelblog members received different (and pleasant) surprises for images that were first published on this site.
Last night, I was informed that the image appearing below from a 2010 blog earned me a US$500 voucher to be spent on a safari by the hosts of the competition - Gamewatchers Safari and Porini Camp. First time I have ever won a prize in an international photo competition - very pleased!
Now just need to decide what safari to choose - a walking one in central Kenya escorted by camels perhaps?

Great stuff and well done :)
You both take some great shots!
We will have to appoint Shane as our resident safari picture maestro and The Dancing One as our resident portrait pic maester ;)
Shane, what kind of camera do you use? I know Dave manages to somehow conjure up his wonderful shots without the use of a DSLR.

Mine is a Nikon D300, and the lens I used for that photo was a Nikon 18-200 set at 105. That is now my back-up lens, as the Nikon 16-85 takes far sharper photos and it is currently my preferred lens. Reply to this

we got some great news recently:-) Tomek's photos have been awarded in two competitions in Poland
1st place: Contest by Jagielonski University in Krakow: "NEOAzja - everyday life in the Far East"
and
2nd place: Contest by Globetroter.pl
"Mountains, my love"
of course these were local competitions with small prices but I am very proud of his recognition:-)
