- My name is Courtney Garrity and I love Landscape and Wildlife photography. I shot this photograph in Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska last July. The humpback whale was bubble net feeding and the bird was trying to catch some stray fish. The camera I used was a Canon Rebel t1i with a 75-300mm lens. I want to thank everyone who voted for my photo. It is an honor to be recognized among such great photographers.

- Thank you for the votes everyone. My name is Jeff Spangler and this shot is a merge actually. It was taken at the Bay City fire works show in Michigan. Had to do quite a bit of editing to get rid of a lot of clutter such as telephone poles/wires etc., so I am tickled that it made it here. Thanks again. Shot w Canon Digital Rebel XT, edited in PS 10.

Who I Am: Tamara Thornquist, Freelance Photographer, TThornquist Photography. I am a photography enthusiast at heart! I developed my passion for photography, approximately 31 years ago, at about 9 years old. I had some money saved and bought my first Kodak 110 Pocket camera from a nice older lady who was having a yardsale. The obsession began. I would take pictures of everything; still have those pictures and it makes me laugh to see the things I thought were "picture worthy". Over the years I have enjoyed and embraced the changes and advancements in the camera world; going from my little pocket camera, to an inexpensive 35mm, to a more expensive 35mm then to my first digital Kodak then entering in to the world of Canon (1st Rebel, 2nd D series), as well as the changes in processing, going from a darkroom to "Lightroom". Though I have been using and experimenting with photography for years, I find that I am always learning something new. I see the world in pictures; always taking note of the lighting, composition and subject and taking note of the things that interest and "speak" to me - I really can't go anywhere without being kind of distracted by this affliction :) I enjoy not only taking pictures but looking at the creativity and beauty and interest captured by other photographers. I am really enjoying the I SHOT IT site; I can share some of my work, look at the work of others and continually be inspired and challenged!

- I shot this pretty, little fox at the golf course where I work in Alaska. I photographed her in mid April. She was very curious about me and the sounds of my shutter. I have several pictures of this beauty, all taken with my Nikon D5100. It was anew camera, and I wasn't yet familiar with all its manual workings, so this is just a very close Jpeg taken with a 55mm lens, roughly 5 feet from my subject. :)
