The Real Alberta Photo Contest

Posted by Noah Aboussafy on March 26, 2010

I eventually decided not to enter because you lose too much of your rights if your image is selected. You can’t sell or display the work for the whole year. I’m not going to take down my photos from my website so they can be in a calendar.

I missed the very first photo in this post when I orginally posted it.

Are you a member of an Alberta credit union? If you are, you can enter in a contest to have your picture featured in the 2011 Credit Union calendar! See your branch for details. I’m going to enter, but I need some help picking which two images to submit.

Sadly the photos have to be in a landscape aspect ratio, and have been taken in Alberta, which eliminates the bulk of my best stuff.

Sunset And Clouds (Banff, Alberta)

Potential (Nordegg Mine, Alberta)

Banff In Black One (Banff, Alberta)

Clouds Over Pigeon Lake (Ma-Me-O Beach, Alberta)

Banff In Black (Banff, Alberta)

Growing Up Sheltered (Edmonton, Alberta)

I rather like "Potential (Nordegg Mine, Alberta)". "Growing Up Sheltered (Edmonton, Alberta)" is a close second.

Thanks Chris.

I think the photograph of Pigeon Lake is the best. I especially like the many rays of sunshine along the clouds.

david says the flower. I love the second Mountain shot, But joe brought up a good point. That there will be lots of mountain shots, but that the truck will be a lot less common and it looks amazing.

I really like the Pigeon Lake one, it's got my vote.

tessa – Mar. 26, 2010 at 4:27 p.m.

pigeon lake. blast that landscape rule, rules out all my best too.

Aminah – Mar. 26, 2010 at 4:27 p.m.

From working on the ATB Financial calendar, I'd say they'd probably like the Pigeon Lake one the best. People like clouds. Especially weird looking ones.

Noah – Mar. 26, 2010 at 4:31 p.m.

Wow everyone, thanks! I actually thought the Pigeon Lake one was the weakest image in the group.

Bob S. – Mar. 26, 2010 at 5:42 p.m.

Wow, it's hard to pick, they're all great! If I had to choose it would have to be Growing Up Sheltered because I'm a sucker for close ups.

I dig them all, but the Pigeon Lake one has my vote!

Kyle – Mar. 27, 2010 at 10:30 a.m.

Not to be another robot, but I definitely vote for "Clouds Over Pigeon Lake". That's a spectacular shot, and like Aminah said, it seems like something a bank would use in their calendar.

I LOVE the truck photo!! Not so sure I like either of the black on black as the clarity of the black part looks blurred to me. I really like the clouds at the lake two so those two get my vote.

jeffrey – Mar. 27, 2010 at 2:41 p.m.

ill put in my vote for banff in black the second. looks like I'll know my competition in this contest ;-)

Noah – Mar. 27, 2010 at 2:45 p.m.

I dunno Jeff, I'm not sure black and white is going to work for a calendar. I love it, but I don't think other people will. You know how the contest says the subject matter can be anything? Want to bet all 14 are landscapes or flowers?

aira – Oct. 30, 2011 at 8:45 p.m.

If I were to choose among the photos above I'll choose Sunset And Clouds (Banff, Alberta). The mountain looks so powerful. I can't believe it's real.
