Congrats to Nextelbuddy for winning last month’s photo contest. We had some amazing entries but we felt like this particular image really stood out because of a strong demonstration of the “Vertical” theme. Click here to view the winning entry from August.

Every month, we bring you a new photo contest with a new theme and a fun prize. Be sure to check out the entries in our contest forums.

September Theme: HDR Landscapes

The theme is “HDR Landscapes.” This theme is pretty straight forward. We are looking for landscape HDR Photos. We tend to enjoy HDRs that are not over the top or “candied.” Please avoid HDRs of people and HDRs of buildings, as these will likely be contests for other months. For this contest, please stick to HDRs of landscapes.

[Rewind: To learn more on HDR photography, please see our HDR Photography Workshop on DVD.
