Annual Photo Contest
The 2009 Photo contest theme is ‘Favorite Cows’ and 'Picturesque Pastures'.
For the 'Favorite Cows' theme, pick out your favorite cow or calf and take a picture of them in their favorite setting. For the 'Picturesque Pastures', we want you to take pictures of cows on beautiful pastures enjoying the seasons of the year.
All photos entered should be color. Digital Images are preferred and need to be
sent as a high resolution (300 dpi) JPEG image with photo size at 8” x 10”
or larger. Digital images can be send via email or on a CD. If you send a Printed
Photograph, please make sure the image is printed from a photo center, as at home
printers do not print high enough quality photographs that can be utilized in print.
Printed photographs will ONLY be accepted at the sizes of 5” x 7” or
8” x 10”. Other photo sizes will not be considered for the contest.
The entry deadline is SEPTEMBER 1, 2009! For each photo entered, please write on the back of each photograph or include in the email : your name, address, phone number and the photo’s title or include the same information in your email with the high resolution photos. Then send your entries to:

Quick Photography Tips!
• Natural outdoor lighting produces good images but watch out for shadows and
the angle of the sun. Try using a flash outdoors, but know your flash’s range.
• Move in close on your subject and get on its level or change your level to
create a unique angle.
• Move the subject slightly of center and create more interest in your photo.
• Try taking vertical pictures, some subjects look better sideways.
• Capture your subjects in their element or in action. Candid shots typically
produce better results than staged.
• Be aware of your surroundings and the background behind your main subject.
(i.e. reflective objects or other distractions)
• Take lots of pictures to capture that perfect one!
