Summer has been bursting with eclectic festivals and fun-loving entertainment - a true photographer’s playground for candid moments and captivating shots! We weren’t sure if you’d be out capturing every sun-soaked snapshot or favouring some summer siestas instead! It could have gone either way, but we’re delighted to see that everyone still showed up and submitted their summer’s best to our monthly Photo Contest.
July brought us a dazzling mix of light, life, and celebration in our monthly Photo Contest, and we’re thrilled to announce this month’s Winners!
Winner !
Byron Lee
Byron Lee took home first place with a breathtaking capture of Canada Day at Henderson Lake in Lethbridge, Alberta. Shot with a 3-second exposure at F11 using a focus blur technique, Byron’s photo turns fireworks into ribbons of colour that dance across the night sky and shimmer over the water’s surface. Congratulations, Byron, on your win.
Honourable Mentions
Victoria Goodbrand
Victoria Goodbrand earned her way into an Honourable Mention award once again! It looks like her farm adventures paid off, as another homestead moment warmed our hearts: Early summer ducklings calmed and snuggled into cupped hands. This intimate, soft-lit image captures a fleeting moment of peace and connection with nature—a gentle reminder that sometimes the smallest subjects carry the biggest stories.
Perry Nelson
Perry Nelson brought the excitement of the track to life with his shot of Pato O’Ward celebrating victory at the Sukup 275 at Iowa Speedway on July 12th. The energy, emotion, and movement in the frame make viewers feel as though they’re right there in the winner’s circle. Thank you, Perry, for sharing your thrilling image!
From fireworks reflected on a summer lake to tender moments with ducklings and the thrill of victory at the speedway, our talented photographers once again reminded us how diverse and influential visual storytelling can be. We thank everyone for their participation! Stay tuned for next month’s Winner! There are still a few weeks to submit your photos, so show us your summer’s best and win a chance to print your winning photo on a 20x16” canvas!
