Photo Wild

I am now registered for the Carolina Raptor Center's 'Photo Wild' photo contest to be held on March 29. I'm really excited! They host this contest anually and I have wanted to enter in it for the past few years. The way it works is they will bring a few birds out at a time and give the photographers so many minutes to photograph them. After you have photographed all the birds that are scheduled to be displayed for the contest, you go home edit your photos and select 3 to enter into a number of catagories. In May, there will be gathering to announce the winners and to auction off the printed photos with proceeds going to fund the raptor center. I visted the raptor center for the first time with my fiance this past fall. I really enjoyed the birds and the facility. The picture below is a resident bald eagle that I photographed during my last visit. You can visit the raptor center online at: www.carolinaraptorcenter.org
