I entered the Leica Oskar Barnack competition

[Jock Elliott]

If anyone cares to have a look, here's a link to my entry Leica Oskar Barnack Award

All of the pictures were taken with either the Canon G12 or an Olympus D-550.

Nikki,

Kind of you to say. I just like taking pictures of the sky.

Jock, good for you! Show's you how much I know...I'd assumed one had to have taken the photos with a Leica to enter the competition. I am particularly taken with your fall scene...with the lake - simply glorious colors and what a view. Please keep us posted on the competition's outcome and good for you for entering!

BB,

Thanks for the kind words. It was clear once you got into the application process that you didn't have to use a Leica to take the pix. I had to ask if I qualified to enter because I am a fulltime writer who takes photos sometimes to illustrate my stories. Leica's communications department said it would be OK if I enter.

Jock, I'm sure I'm not alone in being interested in your writing. If you ever feel like sharing any of your publications, that would be great.

Terrific views. Good luck!
