VIP Photos
Action / Sports
- National Geographic - February 4, 2022 - I think this photo is the best in its category. This is because the snowboarder is centered in the frame, and you are able to see the motion they are in using the trail of snow coming from his snowboard. The way the snowboarder's head almost lines up with the sun gives the photo a unique kind of lighting where it looks like they are on fire. |
Current Events / News
- Kyle Reddig - December 4, 2021 - This photo is the best of its category. It shows a very tragic event. It also shows the amount of snow that was recently dumped on the Flathead Valley. It shows the tracks that the vehicle took as it went flying down the embankment. I know from this experience that it was a very scary experience, but a big lesson was learned. I will forever live on with this memory and lesson. |
Historical Event
- Keystone / Getty Images - No Date - This photo is the best of its category. The shades displayed throughout the photo show a lot of action. The bomb displayed in this tragic event, that would change America's history forever, has a lot of detail from the smoke cloud to the actual explosion. Overall, this photo has a lot of meaning behind it, which makes it the best of its category. |
Day-in-the-life / Personal
- Kanisa Reddig - June 14, 2021 - This photo is the best of its category. This image shows a single kayaker centered in the frame. It also uses the rule of threes, the lake, the horizon and the sky. The vignette around the edges sort of give a tunneled vision towards the main points of the picture. It gives the picture more vibrancy and more defined lines. |
