Winner!
We had some amazing entries for our 2012 Year in Review Contest sponsored by Adorama. The collective talent of our SLR Lounge community is truly awesome and we appreciate all of your submissions.
After hours of contemplation and dozens of opinions, we chose the following image from Timothy Smitley as the winner! Among the reasons for choosing this entry was the creative use of multiple flash exposures, mixed lighting, shutter drag, and lens flares. Not to mention it looked like Timothy endured through either a late night or early morning with some pretty chilly weather to capture the shot, haha!
Congrats on winning Timothy!
From Timothy’s entry:
I’m working on a new project called self/self. The whole idea is to explore the relationships between light and dark within us and around us, and to examine the ideas of the true self/false self. All of the photographs from this project are ghosted self portraits.

Camera – 5D Mark II
Lens – Canon TS-E 24mm F/3.5L IISettings:
Shutter – 15 seconds
Aperture – 6.3
