APA Awards 2010

The photos are displayed here in the order the awards were presented on May 14, 2010. Eventually, all but three of these images (which are substitutes or duplicates) will be published in the Award Profiles in Northern News over the next three to four issues. Please help in correctly identifying those in the photos. (Don't worry about the Award titles; these are shorthand.) I worked from 250 images from: my new Canon PowerShot SX20 IS, ABAG's Nikon D40X (photos by Scott Sjulin), and Ladd Miyaski's Nikon D5000. These 31 images were, remarkably, the only usable images from those 250; and every one of them needed considerable work and loving care in Adobe Photoshop. You'll see variations in tint, saturation, and sharpness from photo to photo. At the size we publish (4.25" wide), the lack of sharpness won't be a problem. Set your computer screen in the middle of the brightness control. Click on the Slideshow button at the upper right, then set the speed control at the upper left, and move your cursor out of the way. Thanks, and please send your corrections to knoxnaph@gmail.com
