Spring Photo Contest: Photo's of the Grand Prize and Winner

12 years 9 months ago #108006 by DonD2
I tried to post this twice yesterday and I think that my problem was trying to post too many photos in the original "Post". So, I will start the thread and then add 1 or 2 photos per post and see what happens.

With that said, I would like to thank, Alex, ALL of the sponsors and everyone that participated in the Spring Photo / Membership Drive Contest. I received my Grand Prize of the Sigma DP2s camera on Wed. July 6th, 2011. My first impressions, beautiful camera, a little smaller than I expected, heavier than expected for its size, seems to be a solid build and I am looking forward to getting acquainted with this camera and functions as well as seeing what I can do with it.

Thanks again to everyone, I had a great time and I have met many, many wonderful folks on this forum and plan to be quite active on here.

Now, on to the photos (1st of the Camera and then the 1st couple FROM the camera):

(Also, I encourage you to Rate and Critique these as well as all of my Photos as I am here to learn and grow.)
