Ok, kids, the votes are in and the judges have made their voices heard. ; Based on the opinion of the staff of Celebrations Magazine (not including yours truly, since I would have voted for everyone), here are the winners. ; May I have the envelope please?! The winner for Magic Kingdom is... Dennis Dunkman! The winner for Epcot is... Joanie Eddis-Koch! The winner for Disney-Hollywood Studios is... John Wolff! The winner for Disney's Animal Kingdom is... Dr. Jim Rudolph!
Congrats to the winners! (but really, all the pictures that were submitted were great, so in a sense, we all kicked butt!) I personally would like to thank the Epcot Cast Member who would not buy my story of "I'm with THAT group over there" at the reserved viewing section for Illuminations and would not let me con my way in without a ticket! Barring entry to that area, Jim and I went over to the Illuminations Fire works "not so preferred" viewing area and had at it with a lovely foreground object, namely the Imagination area fountain. This shot was inspired by one I saw from Scott Thomas http://viewsinfinitum.com/about/ So Thanks to Scott for continuing to inspire Disney Parks photography fans everywhere! I can't wait to attend this year's Pixelmania so thanks to all the people that are working so hard to organize this great event. No matter where we are with our photography, as long as we "Just keep swimming!" we are going to get better and better. I really appreciate all the ways this Magic in Pixels community of Disney Parks Photographers encourages each other and helps each other out. That just makes a really interesting hobby all the more fun! ~Joanie
Congrats everybody! I've seen that Animal Kingdom shot before and I've been looking for it again ever since. All of these shots are definitely inspirational. Great job!
Congrats Dennis, Joanie and Jim! ; But as Joanie said, amazing shots by everyone! ; Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
All winners please email me the full size pic along with your name/address/how you want it credited to tim at themagicinpixels dot com. ; Thanks!
Try again, Big-D. ; I had an issue on another part of the site that was generating HUGE error logs. ; It's been cleaned up.
All of your pics are received and have been forwarded to Celebrations Magazine. ; I will follow up with you if more info or anything else is needed!
Love all these shots but Everest and the stunt show are my favorites. ; I can't remember ever having such good seats for that show!!! :-*
My issue with the winners arrived yesterday. ; They all look great, but I think Jim and John got short-changed; they have to share a page whereas Joanie and I got the full-page treatment. If you don't subscribe to Celebrations (and why don't you?), you can get a copy of issue #32 from the archive.
Congrats once again to all of the winners! ; I should be getting my copy very soon... I look forward to seeing it.
Just received my copy of the magazine and was thrilled to see that members of this forum had images published there. ; Tim that was a way cool thing to do! ; Hope to meet a few of you in December.
