Merit Prize: Nancy Folk, Wentzville, Missouri
Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera and a Bogen National Geographic Prize Package
Nancy Folk, a scientist who lives near St. Louis, took this image from a zodiac in the Antarctic sound. This was the first time she'd used a digital camera. "I like photographing the natural world," says Folk, who has been to Africa, the Galápagos, and Alaska. "Because of the ever-changing environment, I feel compelled to visit areas that are endangered." For 2008, she's planning a trip to photograph the Sandhill crane migration in Nebraska and gray wolves in Yellowstone. (Nikon D80 digital camera, Nikon ED-IF 18-135 mm zoom lens, exposure at 1/500 second at f/5.6, ISO 100) Bogen prize package includes National Geographic Tundra Monopod; National Geographic Tundra Tripod with 3-way head; and an Earth Explorer Medium Shoulder Bag.
This year's 19th annual photo contest received over 27,000 entries, up some 12,000 from last year. Start polishing your skills early with one of Traveler's photo seminars and look for the announcement of our next contest in May 2008.
