One of those "moments" you are lucky enough to catch on "film." Photo taken by Nick Lagos (Australien) - Nature

This photo was taken just after sunrise at a small lake near Quadville, Ontario in the summer of 2002. This is the way the photo really looks. No filters - no digital retouching. A beautiful place! Photo taken by Gord Runtz (Kanada) - Nature

I love this picture because it shows one of my great vacation adventures in Morocco, and it's a picture that shows a different style of living. We paid this young Moroccan Nomad about 100 durhams ($10) to lead us into the Sahara desert on his camel. He is leading the camel that I was riding. White camels are thought to be very special, and I was given the priveledge to ride this one. Photo taken by Jeannine McCune (Vereinigte Staaten) - Travel/Vacation

My 13 yr. old son took this picture of his puppy. He named the puppy after his friend who was killed by a drunk driver. Stansford, my son swears that "Lee" is alive today in his puppy Lee, and that he still smiles at him through his eyes. I think the picture speaks for itself. You can see the love.

I took this picture in Boston, last year under the Coast Guard Building on the waterfront. I used a Canon Elan 7, with a 22-55mm zoom lens set to 22mm. The exposure was 1 min @ f.16. The slide was scanned on a scanner and color corrected in Photoshop. I took this photo to complete my BFA degree in Photography and Digital Imaging. I concentrated on night photography and landscape nature photography while in school and recieved my degree last May. Photo taken by Jeremiah True (Vereinigte Staaten) - Artistic/Creative

I happenned to visit a rural fair and saw this stall selling colourful glass bangles. However the mood of the sellers did not quite reflect the splash of colours around them. That is what caught my attention. Photo taken by Sandeep Bangia (Indien) - Holidays/Events

In the small sub-Saharan village of Mbaakhe in Senegal, West Africa, water is a precious commodity. The older boy is offering water from the communal cup to a young child that's strapped to his mother's back. Candid pictures often tell a story better than posed shots. The picture was taken with a KODAK DC 4800. Photo taken by Vera I. Sytch (Vereinigte Staaten) - People/Family/Friends

A particularly challenging thing to photograph are real snowflakes. I "caught" these snowflakes by putting a piece of glass outside while it was flurrying. I would stare at the glass looking for individual snowflakes as they landed. Once I found one I liked, I would move under our covered front porch (where I had my camera mounted on a tripod) to prevent more snowflakes from accumulating. This set of snowflakes caught my eye because not only was it a 12-pointed snowflake (which are not nearly as common as the 6-pointed variety) but also because it was attached to another 6-pointed flake as if they were supporting each other. Their "combined effect" is why I call this shot "Synergistic Snowflakes". Photo taken by Eddy Gurney (Vereinigte Staaten) - Artistic/Creative

I think babies are great subjects for picture taking. This baby was in a great mood! Photo taken by Amanda Belanger (Vereinigte Staaten) - People/Family/Friends

I was taking pictures of a group of flowers in a big planter when I realized that a fly was on one of the nearby flowers. At the time, I was using my 28-80mm zoom lens -- so I set it on macro and started shooting. The fly posed long enough for me to get several shots to choose from.

This duckling was looking for his mother. I went down on the floor to capture this duckling, making people frown and wondering what I was doing down there. But that way I could really capture this one nicely. Photo taken by Mariette Geest (Niederlande) - Animals/Pets

Two bunches of tulips lit with the light of 3 strands of small decorative mulitcolored lights waved over the flowers during a 16 second exposure. Photo taken by Robert Mann (Vereinigte Staaten) - Artistic/Creative

This reminds me of my boyhood in the province. I took this picture in Batangas, Philippines, in a town similar to the one I grew up in over 50 years ago. Photo taken by Luis Reyes (Kanada) - People/Family/Friends

A rainbow ... nature's reward for surviving the storm! This picture was taken in Central Ontario, Canada. Photo taken by Lyn Winans (Kanada) - Nature

While enjoying a time of deep conversation and song singing with some friends, I broke out my camera and just began experimenting. This shot came out better than expected, and gives a perspective that I don't think many people look at...the guitar players left hand on the fret board. It's amazing how precise the human fingers are. Photo taken by Damion I. Hamilton (Vereinigte Staaten) - People/Family/Friends

Well, I don't speak English very well, but I will try... This picture for me is very special, because it shows nature combined with cultura of a colonial town in Mexico. Photo taken by Arturo Grajeda (Mexiko) - Travel/Vacation

This lovely kitten was trying to catch something. Never knew that taking good shots of kittens could be so time consuming! But I liked the lighting and pose of this one a lot. Photo taken by Mariette Geest (Niederlande) - Animals/Pets

This picture was taken of a group of men in my home town who are considered the "father's" of the community. Taken in Wellington, Missouri (population 800), during the summer of 2001, they are all respected friends of mine. Photo taken by Arby Todd (Vereinigte Staaten) - People/Family/Friends

As I took this shot, I was reminded of sundaes with grandpa. He'd take us grandkids in his old Chevy to the local diner and buy us, "the sundae of your choice." Photo taken by Lance Taylor (Vereinigte Staaten) - Artistic/Creative
