Photo: Merit Prize
Merit Award: Rod Innes

Canon Rebel K2 camera and the National Geographic Photography Field Guide.

Rod Innes of Stevenson Ranch, California, spent two hours waiting for the right light to fall over Naxos, Greece (as his patient wife read a book). "We crossed a causeway that connects Naxos to a small island known for its unfinished Temple of Apollo," he says. "It was getting late and a bit cold, but I turned around to shoot ten dusky panoramic views of the harbor just as the city lights started coming on."
