Carlos L. Esguerra<br />
(First Prize) You can sample<br />
the renowned cheeses in<br />
Alkmaar, Netherlands, or tiptoe<br />
through the tulip fields. Jaap<br />
Hart chose the latter while<br />
driving around his canal-lined<br />
town one foggy morning. He<br />
stopped the car and gingerly<br />
stepped onto the blossoming<br />
meadow, careful not to crush<br />
any flowers. With his tripodmounted<br />
Nikkormat FT2 and<br />
24mm f/2.8 Nikkor lens, he<br />
captured this vision of mist<br />
and petal pinks. Exposure,<br />
unrecorded; film, Fujichrome<br />
Velvia 50. Image was printed<br />
by an Internet printing service.<br />
(Second Prize) For tulips American-style,<br />
see these red and<br />
yellow beauties shot by Tom<br />
Guffey of Marysville, Washington.<br />
Drawn to the vivid contrast<br />
between the moody sky and<br />
bright flowers, Guffey photographed<br />
his local Skagit<br />
Valley Tulip Fields using a<br />
tripod-mounted Fuji GX617<br />
panoramic camera and 90mm<br />
f/5.6 Fujinon SWD lens. Exposure,<br />
6 sec at f/45; film,<br />
Kodak Ektachrome E100VS.<br />
Guffey scanned the image,<br />
then applied the Sharpen filter<br />
in Photoshop 7.0. Image was<br />
printed on an Epson Stylus<br />
Photo 1280.<br />
(Third Prize) While flying over<br />
the Jersey Shore on assignment<br />
for the local SandPaper<br />
publication, Melissa Molyneux<br />
of Bedminster, New Jersey, saw<br />
this abstract meeting of surf<br />
and earth, and grabbed the<br />
shot with her Nikon D100.<br />
Once she had descended from<br />
treetops to desktop, Molyneux<br />
made some minor adjustments<br />
in Photoshop 7.0 and printed<br />
the image on an Epson Stylus<br />
Photo 750.<br />
(Honorable Mention) On a trip<br />
back to her hometown in Sac<br />
County, Iowa, Patricia Repine<br />
of Clermont, Florida, was drawn<br />
to this haunting, ruined farmhouse.<br />
The sunlight in the foreground<br />
and the approaching<br />
storm in the background created<br />
a visual tension, which Repine<br />
captured on a Canon EOS 10S<br />
and 28–105mm f/3.5–4.5<br />
Canon lens with a polarizing<br />
filter. Exposure, unrecorded;<br />
film, Fujichrome Provia 100.<br />
She scanned the slide with a<br />
Nikon Coolscan 2000, and<br />
made minor adjustments in<br />
Photoshop 5.5 (such as burn-<br />
ing in the windows). Image was<br />
printed on an Epson Stylus<br />
Photo 1280.<br />
(Honorable Mention) Carlos L.<br />
Esguerra of Elmhurst, New<br />
York, shot this quiet, stark<br />
desert vista at New Mexico’s<br />
White Sands National<br />
Monument. He photographed<br />
with a tripod-mounted Hasselblad<br />
500CM and 80mm f/2.8<br />
Planar CF lens. Exposure,<br />
unrecorded; film, Fujichrome<br />
Velvia 50. Esguerra scanned<br />
the transparency with a Nikon<br />
Super Coolscan 8000, and,<br />
using Photoshop 7.0, adjusted<br />
the contrast and converted the<br />
image to black-and-white.<br />
Image was printed on an Epson<br />
Stylus Photo 2200.<br />
