Images For Conservation Photo Contest   RSS
30 day nature photo contest in the Hill Country of Texas, West of San Antonio, sponsored by Images For Conservation Fund, an organization formed to bring together private landowners and nature photographers ( www.imagesforconservation.org ) Purpose is to show the natural beauty of flora and fauna on the ranches within the Hill Country in Texas. 17 nature photographers were selected and each had their own ranch to photograph nature for all 30 days of April 2006. Awards were announced in June with my submissions placing 4th among the 17 entries in 5 categories: mammals, scenics, insects, reptiles, and birds. No images could be submitted of nonnative species or people or manmade objects. In addition to the 75 images submitted, included here are additional images of ranch owners and ranch.

After the photo contest, I wrote a cover story for Naturescapes.net, an online nature magazine, detailing my experience photographing nature on the ranch during one of the driest Aprils on record. To read the story go to: www.alperry.com/files/Naturescapes.pdf
