Congratulations Sean McFarland of Park City, UT!
Sean has won our 1st Place Prize - a Standard Wide ChromaDuMonde
12+4R valued at $1055.00 US!
Sean's photo of a very distant Maxi pattern (40" x 24") at the
Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Choir Service scored 17.10% of all
votes. Well done Sean!
 |
Congratulations Tom Campbell and Chuck Pharis - you have tied
for 2nd place!
Tom and Chuck have each won CamBook 6 patterns, valued at
$739.00 US each!
These two submissions were neck and neck. At midnight on
the last day of the contest, sure enough, both had 12.80% of all
votes, and subsequently tied! |
 |
Tom Campbell underwater with a DSC Laboratories test pattern was
a fan favorite.
Believe it or not, but there are no special treatments made to
Tom's pattern to protect it from the elements. Every DSC
test pattern is constructed to withstand rugged use - as Tom
proves every year! |
 |
The line up of these 1940's RCA cameras has become a flagship
photo that many engineers have mentioned throughout the year.
To this day, Chuck assures us that he did not stage the photo,
and indeed uses his ChromaDuMonde to line up all of his cameras! |
Congratulations Nick Hiltgen of Honolulu, HI!
Nick has placed 3rd with 9.10% of all votes, winning him a
FrontBox 12+4 valued at $476.00 US!
 |
 |
In the first week of the contest, Nick's photo of these Hawaiian
beauties had the lead, but it was soon lost to the entrants
above. Thanks so much for the submission Nick! |
