FishingProperties.com Best of Show
(Pro or Amateur)
by Ross Walker
These horses were photographed on the Dennis Hunzeker ranch in Montpelier, Idaho. They were being herded from one pasture to another with a stop in a corral for counting and sorting. Many had never been touched by human hands before, so they were nervous and milling around the corral when the photo was taken. Special thanks to Jim Parker, another winner in this contest, for telling me about this roundup which gave me the opportunity to take this picture.

Bank of Star Valley Best of Show
(Amateur)
by DeeLon Merritt
Shutter Speed 1/80 sec, Aperture F/3.0, ISO-182, Focal Length 12mm, Digital, Natural lighting. This picture was taken in mid Sept just after noon, of the first snow fall in Grover Park. I happened to be traveling through and saw this scene through the pines and I had to try to catch it. I enjoy photography as a hobby and have a lot to learn, but I really enjoy "playing" with the camera.

I was camping about 15 miles back in the South end of Star Valley when I found this little waterfall. Took the shot close to evening standing in the stream coming out of the hillside about 20 feet up from the end of the waterfall.

SilverStar Award

by Dahl Simpson
This picture was taken in late July. It had rained a lot the previous day, and I awoke the next morning and looked to the western landscape to find most of it covered in fog. I knew there had to be a great picture out there somewhere. I loaded up the camera gear and headed out in find it. As I neared Auburn, the sun was starting to shine through the fog, and the picture of the hay bales, tractor and fence line created a real picturesque scene of rural America. I took this photo with a Digital Nikon D70.

Miles Beverage Award
(Pro/Amateur)
by Mike McBride
I first spotted this Great Gray Owl as it flew low across a meadow and came to rest in a small tree. As I worked to get into position, it left the tree and I lost track of it for a time. Eventually I rediscovered the owl eating a vole in the grass. I moved with the owl for a couple of hours as it flew from one perch to another hunting through a series of meadows. A shutter speed of 1/80th of a second was fast enough to render the face motionless, but slow enough to create a motion blur of the wings.

Wow! What great picture opportunity! I sneaked ever so quietly closer and closer to the owlets - taking a picture every five or so steps. I didn't know when they would be frightened and fly away - especially with that big dog barking so close by. My husband called out to me, "Claudia, don't get any nearer to those babies!" That's when I realized the barking wasn't coming from a dog but from the owlets' very large and stern mother who was now right behind me. I decided I had enough pictures for that day.

My friend knew that I had caught hummingbirds before, so when a hummingbird came into her workplace and they could not get it out, she called me. It took about 5 minutes. He settled into my hands for the picture, then flew away when we got him safely outside and away from the building. It was a true gift to be allowed to hold something so delicate and beautiful. Thank you for sharing in the moment with me.
