The most awesome thing happened to me today. While at a UPAA symposium I won a photo competition sponsored by Nikon. It was a perfect example of God's grace because I sure didn't deserve it given the talent participating.
We were touring Atlanta's Olympic Park that day. The rules of the competition were that you had to take the photo around the park area. Retired Nikon representative, Fred Sisson, gave us a theme to follow and we had to take a photo which best matched the theme. It was an old Coke slogan, "A Pause that Refreshes".
We had most of the morning and part of the afternoon in the aquarium and park. When the bus was getting ready to leave, I was able to spot what I thought was a good shot and got it. It was just about the last photo I took that day. I chose three of my best ones that night but I could only choose one to enter.
Take your pick... which one do you think it is?
I won a Nikon D300 and lens. I was heading to Africa on a mission trip the following week so this camera came at a fortunate time. Thanks Fred!
