Local Photographers Honored in Northern Virginia Nature Photo Competition
Four photos by Reston Photographic Society members were unanimously selected for the Nature Visions Photo Expo, at the Hylton Center on November 9-10-11.
The eleventh annual Nature Visions Photography Expo takes place Friday-Saturday-Sunday November 9, 10 & 11 at the Hylton Performing Arts Center, a sparkling facility on the Prince William Campus of George Mason University in Manassas. The Expo is organized by photography clubs in Loudoun, Manassas-Warrenton, McLean, Northern Virginia (which meets in Dunn Loring), Reston and Vienna.
Four photos by members of the Reston Photographic Society won a unanimous vote of the three-judge panel that selected images for the Expo’s gallery of Honored Nature Images. These images are featured in the online gallery above. They will also form part of a traveling exhibit of 53 Expo images in 2013.
Congratulations to Jan Master, Ellis Rosenberg, Gerry Rosenberg and Carla Steckley.
