While this year's entry format changed, the quality of images in
the Nebraskaland Photo Contest did not. With the categories of
Scenic, Wildlife, Recreation and Macro, it took hours to teem down
the winning images. But it was not without some debating, especially
in the Macro and Wildlife categories where several worthy images
didn't place.
This year's Best of Show winner, "Nebraska Moonscape," by Mark
Karrer of Sioux City, Iowa, was taken at Toadstool Geologic Park in
Sioux County.
"I went there because it is considered to be a dark sky area with
little light pollution, and I had always wanted to photograph the
Milky Way. This was my fi rst attempt."
And a good attempt it was.
We thank everyone who participated in this year's contest and look
forward to seeing our wonderful state through your eyes next year.
Happy shooting.
