Beauty is Where You Find It

I've enjoyed participating in the Capture Minnesota photo contest, sponsored by my former employer, tpt. It's been a fun way to get feedback on my images, and become virtual friends with lots of other photographers. It's also challenged me to be more thoughtful about my photography. Of the 100 images I've posted, the above is the one that has gathered the most votes. It's an HDR composite, shot while hiking on a friend's property in Frazee, MN. And, it's just a woodpile, for gosh sakes, but something about it compelled me to take this image, and I'm glad I did.

The Capture MN contest ends this month. I don't know if the website will remain up once the contest ends, so I thought I'd use this blog to keep this particular image alive a little longer. If you haven't done so, consider visiting the Capture MN website before the end of January and see some really fascinating photography.

  1. Even an unsophisticated 'picture taker' like me has experienced the wonder of just shooting and afterward realizing it's a good photo. Yours is surely one of those.
