At The Right Place And Time: View The Photo Contest Finalists

Thank you to all the photographers that shared their shots showing what happens when you are at the right place and at the right time in this photo contest. We are excited to share this collaboration with amazing photographer Hudson Henry and on1 Software.

"A word about judging. We had over 10,000 incredible photographs submitted. Narrowing that batch down to 50 finalists was incredibly difficult. The finalists are an incredible bunch of diverse images: macros, street photographs, wildlife, weather, human emotion; each one taken at there right time and place. Each finalist deserves very high praise." - Hudson Henry

Congratulations Grand Jury Winner "Ohh nooo... It's Raining" by kutubuddin

"This image exemplifies what happens when a practiced photographer thoughtfully places a camera and light in the right place at the right time. This is no simple snapshot. Kutubuddin’s technical skill is on display. This macro scene is perfectly focused at the right aperture to blur any background distractions. The light is correctly set to contrast this little green frog and leaf from the less exposed green backdrop. The shutter speed is just right. A faster speed and the rain would not be blurred to give us that sense of a downpour in motion; any slower and the leaf would be blurred from that same motion. Ultimately Kutubuddin’s recognition of the moment and practiced skill worked in concert to create a unique, single-image-story that is easy for a viewer to connect with emotionally. Who among us can’t relate to this little frog with it’s “leaf umbrella?”" - Hudson Henry

Congratulations Runner Up "Cheetah Run" by FaithPhotography

"I’ve seen lots of cheetah photos. I’ve photographed Cheetah in Africa, but I don’t recall ever seeing a photo that better captures the speed, power and grace of these amazing runners. Great light, great focus and a well filled frame. Way to be in the right place and time FaithPhotography." - Hudson Henry

Congratulations Runner Up "Super Hornet Shockwave" by chrisbuff

"Wow! This is a time and place that few of us get to witness up close like this. I love seeing the shockwave develop on the wings. Way to sharply fill the frame with a special instant Chris Buff." - Hudson Henry

Congratulations Runner Up "Storm Rage" by matthewjones

"Talk about the right place at the right time. Matthew Jones recognized a dramatic scene playing out and captured it. The lighthouse and the wave provide both a sense of scale and drama. I love the light, the fast shutter and the precise instant captured. This image tells a simple story. Never doubt the power of the sea." - Hudson Henry

Congratulations Amateur Winner "DSCF5738" by devinjohnstonlee

"Great street photography is always about being at the right place at the right time to capture a definitive moment. This is a great example; a truly unique moment. This photograph tells a story and leaves us with lingering questions. Devin leaves us to choose our own title. “Mutual Respect?”" - Hudson Henry
