Thanks to my new blog friends over at Travel Stained for tagging and inviting me to join in the Black’s Epic Adventure Photo Contest. Black’s is a shop from the UK that is sponsoring amateur photographers to submit photos in 4 different categories WILD, FAST, EPIC and PANORAMIC. There are prizes to be won including vouchers to use for travel. Who could pass up a free trip?
Without further ado here are my submissions.
FAST – this bird flew in fast as it was munching on various bugs one summer evening. The movement of the grasses and wheat are fast, but give the picture texture -don’t you think?
FAST moving bird and grasses
WILD – I love the colour in this photo. How is it wild? Well the wild flowers, grasses and 2 insects are all wild of course. Look carefully one of the critters are camouflaged.
WILD – grasses and flowers
EPIC – This could also be wild I suppose. I thought it would better fit epic since the grand scale of nature is taking over man-made structures at Angkor Wat , Cambodia which, is pretty EPIC.
EPIC – nature’s power is epic as it reclaims man-made structures
PANORAMIC – Views along the Great Wall of China. On clear days the wall snaking along the mountain ridges goes on as far as the eye can see.

Hope you enjoyed my collection. Stay tuned for more posts and adventures.

Stunning.
Thanks. I only saw 1 other entry and theirs were fantastic… so I am not expecting a prize, but it was fun to search through all my photos. It was good to look back and see a few things I forgot about too.
Yay!! These are great choices! and each fits their respective categories so perfectly! 🙂 It’s amazing what you can find when you just get a bit creative about it…
I am always good a stretching things to make ’em work 😉 LOL.
Thanks again for telling me about the contest. It was fun. Thanks also for your kind comments.
Oh! How wonderful pictures!
Thanks Ninna. The contest is still open until midnight Monday if you want to join in. I added the link to Blacks in my post. It was fun to search and find some to fit the themes. Glad you liked them.
Perfect choices! Remarkable shots. Congratulations, CT!
Thanks Amy. Now we’ll see if I win anything 😉 Oh but then it isn’t about winning, but having fun.
The recognition itself is a reward! 🙂
Yes and I am sure the competion will be pretty amazing. I have seen 2 other posts and they have incredible pics. Just a mention or acknowledgement will be great.
I love your choices…good luck in the competition
Thanks Jo. You should check it out too. You always have some great shots. I left the link on my post. The contest is open until May 5th I think.
Not sure I have it in me at the moment. Trying to spend time outside…when not working on a post about Crash.
Yes true… our heart needs to be in it. Well I hope you will start to feel better soon. I know it will take some time.
Nicely done and well chosen CTB – good luck!!!
Thanks Tina. Too bad the contest is now closed, or you could have entered. But then again you would have blown us all out of the water 😉
Fascinating photos – I love the one of the tree at Angkor Wat.
Thanks Suzanne. It is pretty cool… you feel so small and feel the power of nature. It is very cool.
