Amateur photographers improving in skill
Canon USA’s Hawaii’s 12 annual amateur photo contest has been an example of fine photography, according to the contest’s organizers.
It seems that even though the normal hobby photographer isn’t getting paid for their work, they’re certainly taking some quality images. Here’s a story from the Honolulu Star Bulletin…
Canon USA Hawaii’s 12th foray into its annual amateur photo contest asked contestants to capture “Breathtaking Views of Hawaii — The views that make Hawaii unique.”
This year, not only was the caliber of images better than ever, but photographers have started to display a flair for creativity, thanks to digital photography, said Canon’s office manager Jeff Fukui.
“With cameras getting better and people becoming more skillful in Photoshop, the quality of our entries have definitely gone up, as has creativity,” he says.

Wow. How do you get just an honorable mention by getting close to the largest mammal on earth? They should get a medal of bravery or something
