Today is the day to enter photos in the Utah State Fair
Hello Everybody,
Today is the first day to enter photos in the Utah State Fair. I entered the Davis County fair last month with three photos, and recieved a First Place and a second place, and a little constructive critism for entering the State Fair. (Mostly, I should print them on glossy paper for the competition.) The other thing, the photo of my highland coo - they didn't like it in the bulls eye, so I cropped it a bit different, and moved it over a bit off center for the State fair. Edinburgh Castle was the photo that received the first place ribbon. Both of these photos are on the Utah Saint Andrews Society Website under Gallery, and Roland's trip to Scotland. The Edinburgh Castle photo is the close in one of Edinburgh Castle. It is the ninth photo down if you start counting from the top left on the first page. The Highland Coo is on the second page. For the county fair I had entered a third photo that did not place of one of my nieces that I took for a bridal photo. It was a landscape photo of a bride on a couch. Since it did not place, I am entering a different photo in the State fair. It is actually a different photo. It is a photo of another niece that I took for her bridal. She has a Celtic type wedding dress, and is standing on a rock, about to jump off into her wedding. This one I do not have on the internet anywhere. (I don't have a webpage, so I am left at the mercy of webmasters that take my work into the theme of their pages.) roland |

The State fair there will be more. The State fair will be a lot tougher. It opens on Thursday. I will be a nevous wreck on Thursday until I go down there and find out how I did. I shouldn't enter these things - it drives me nuts! roland |

Okay, I made it into Salt Lake City and went to the Utah State Fair. I made a beeline for the Photo Exhibit. It actually took me a while to find my photos. They have a lot of entries. Now, the photo of Edinburgh Castle didn't get anything. This was a bit of a susprise. The one of my niece didn't get anything, and I didn't really expect anything from it. However, the photo of that stupid looking highland cow out having lunch in the farmers field managed to get an honorable mention. I did crop it a little bit and move the cow off center from the bulls eye, and crop out what she had deposited on the ground, and had the photo printed on glossy paper instead of the luster paper for the State fair. The photo of her is on the net at www.utahstandrews.org, and then in the gallery section, and Roland's trip to Scotland. This silly looking cow is the one titled Highland Coo on the second page of this section. Now, I am not sure - Judges seem to be subjective a bit. Some like one thing, and some another. I really thought the photo of Edinburgh Castle would do better at the State Fair, since it did well at the county fair. However, when I entered them - the person who accepted the entries remembered the photo of the Highland Coo from the County fair, but didn't remember the photo of Edinburgh Castle. So I think it might have something to do with what the particular judge likes in the way of subject matter as one thing. Anyway, I after the fair, I will be able to hang something from the State Fair on the wall. Just an Honorable Mention, but it is something. This all started out because one guy I used to work with said I couldn't call myself a photographer until I pulled a ribbon, even an honorable mention out of the state fair. It was sort of stated as a challenge... roland |
