Travel Photo Contest Submissions

I generally take a TON of pictures on my trips in hopes that at least a handful of images are captivating enough to share with friends and family. The best part of having a digital camera is that we can all just click away to increase our chances of capturing that "perfect" moment in time.

Over time I've created a fairly good sized collection of images. At the suggestion of a friend, I have been submitting select images to newspapers and to online photo contests. Cool!

I found a fantastic travel related website and community called TravelMuse! TravelMuse has been hosting a monthly photo contest and I submitted three images for their consideration from my trips to Australia, New Zealand and Tofino, Canada.

There are a lot of great pictures posted each month...some of them look more professional than those taken by me and my 10MP Canon point-n-shoot. My images were not selected for the February contest...but I did submit pictures for March!

Not all is lost with my photo submissions. I did have an image from New Zealand selected by the Travel editor of the San Jose Mercury news.

Hopefully one day I'll see more of my images in print or on the web...so I will need to keep traveling to some great locations!
