PhotographyCorner.com Announces the Winner of Contest Corner Challenge#45: Musical Visualizations

Feb. 12, 2008 - PRLog -- Photography Corner ( www.PhotographyCorner.com ) has announced that Carl Chalupa is the winner of the site’s latest Contest Corner Challenge, and as such has been awarded a $150 Gift Certificate towards any custom photo handbags at Snaptotes.com.  The recent challenge asked photographers to anything that would represent a musical theme.  PhotographyCorner.com began offering Contest Corner Challenges in July 2004, and new challenges are issued every 3 weeks throughout the year.

With over 15% of the votes from a total of 29 qualifying submissions, Carl won the recent photography challenge CCC#45: Musical Visualizations with a slow-motion photograph of drum sticks bouncing off the plates of a xylophone.  This is the ninth Contest Corner Challenge win accomplished by Carl – the most won in the history of the contests.  Carl has now won one-fifth of the Contest Corner Challenges to date.

“One of the things that makes Carl so successful in the Contest Corner Challenges,” noted Tim L. Walker, the owner and administrator of PhotographyCorner.com, “is not in his skill as a photographer, but in the way he thinks through and sets up each of his photographs.  For each Contest Corner Challenge, he spends time putting together a shot for the contest, then sets it up, and works on it until he has the shot that he wants.  While he’s not a professional photographer, he certainly has the skill to be.”

Contest Corner Challenges at www.PhotographyCorner.com are issued to site members in the community’s forum and on the Corner Blog (http://www.photographycorner.com/blog).  Only Premiere Members of Photography Corner (requires a yearly or lifetime subscription) are eligible to win some of the bigger prizes, but all members of the site are always invited to submit photographs to the contest, and all have a chance to wins prizes in each contest.  Everyone is invited to participate in the five-day voting window to vote on contest winners and discuss submissions after they have all been received.
