April 2015 Photo Contest: 'In Flight' | Island Packet & Beaufort Gazette

More than three dozen readers snapped a shot (or combed through their archives) for The Island Packet and The Beaufort Gazette's first monthly photo contest. The theme was "In Flight." As you might expect, we saw many submissions of birds, particularly the egrets, eagles, pelicans, osprey and more that all make Beaufort County's natural spaces so breathtaking. But we also saw plenty of photos from the Beaufort Air Show and a handful from photographers who didn't take the theme literally. One of those, Hilton Head Island resident Terri Philpot's photo of her son, Jackson, jumping at the new Shelter Cove playground, won.

The contest was judged by multimedia editor Drew Martin; Phil Heim, the man behind the lens at BeaufortPics.com, the Facebook page by the same name and a new gallery on Port Republic Street; and Eat Sleep Play Beaufort, a popular community Facebook page and website. In order to name a winner, the judges each ranked their five favorite photos out of the entries we received; points were assigned based on the ranking each judge gave. Their feedback is included on some of the photos below.

May's theme is "Think Spring". Click or tap here for details on how to submit your entry.

The picture was taken at the new Shelter Cove playground, which we went to in late March. My son, Jackson, is a natural-born thrill seeker, therefore, he created a challenge of posing mid-flight after launching himself from the swings. Now as a parent I cringed at the thought of injury and recklessness, but he insisted on getting the 'best shot.' It only took us a couple shots to get one he liked.

WINNER! Judges' comments:
Eat Sleep Play Beaufort: "For any parent, this would be a money shot. For any kid, it tells your friends that 'I'm the bomb.' "
Phil Heim, Beaufort Pics: "Another really good action photo where the child is frozen in mid-air. The expression on his face and colored pebbles tossed in the air are great. Lots of color in the photo. I normally don't care a lot for staged photos however, this one is excellent."
Drew Martin, multimedia editor: "This photo could have been a contender (for top spot) in my book had the photographer thought about his background and composition. I give it accolades because it's different. Think about your camera angles and your shooting location - photographer could have been laying on their back shooting up. The good thing about a staged photo is you can do it over and over until you either get it right or your model gets tried of performing."

I took this photo on March 26, 2015. The eagle was fishing in North Lake in Rose Hill. I was enjoying the beginning of spring, looking at the pollen coated 'gators and a rookery of wood storks, I just happened to see this eagle fishing. After several unsuccessful attempts she managed to get lunch and share it with a juvenile. A great day.

Judges' comments:
Eat Sleep Play Beaufort: "Perfect shot. We see lots of photos of American bald eagles; we're prideful of their thriving in our area. This one is one of the best we've seen. (No offense, Phil.)"
Phil Heim, Beaufort Pics: "Nicely focused, sharp photo. The color is also nice. My favorite birds to photograph, and this photo turned out nicely. A great in-flight capture."

While driving in Sea Pines on May 28, 2013, I saw the head of a bird in a lagoon across from Lawton Stables. I pulled over, grabbed my camera, jumped down into the lagoon and started shooting. The osprey fought hard and went down two more times into the water before successfully carrying his lunch to the bank.

Judges' comments:
Eat Sleep Play Beaufort: "As natural as you'll ever see. To a photographer, the choice is to sit and wait for a shot like this to come along...or hope you're just in the right place at the right time."
Phil Heim of Beaufort Pics: "I know how hard it is to capture a action photo like this. It takes a lot of patience. The focus and color are good. Its amazing the size of the fish the Osprey has in his talons. Its a fantastic photo."

I captured this brown pelican at Shelter Cove Harbor on November 20, 2014 where I frequently bird watch with a friend. The bird was just coming out of the water after a splendid nose-dive to catch lunch. The splash of water showing the action makes the picture complete.

Judges' comments:
Eat Sleep Play Beaufort: "You wont find a photo entry in this contest that epitomizes our Lowcountry nature more than this one."
Drew Martin, multimedia editor: "Love the detail, clarity and composition in this photo. The pelican, for such a large and clunky looking bird, really is quite a graceful creature. This photo captures that detail and elegance."

There was no particular reason for me to take the photo; I just take pictures when I see something I find inspiring. This photo was taken on April 18, 2015. I was at the Port Royal Crab Festival that particular day, toting around my phone for pictures. Many different shops were set up for the festival, and one such was selling wood crafts, in this case, a swinging bench. The day was stifling hot but had a gusty breeze every now and then. I saw the price tag on the swing chain flutter with the breeze, and to me it seemed liked it was trying to escape. To me, looking up at the little tag tugging on it's rope leash, with the sky just behind it, the tag could definitely be defined as 'In Flight'.

Judges' comments:
Drew Martin, multimedia editor: "Perhaps a bit too much lens flare, but this photographer obviously had a very good vision for this entry. Nice non-literal choice to show 'in flight.' Very sharp and good composition. I'm a fan of photographers who think differently."

Judges' comments:
Eat Sleep Play Beaufort: "Whether they're locals or visitors to the beach, making memories like this are what it's all about." Phil Heim, Beaufort Pics: "Nice color and focus on the photo. It almost looks like a 3D photo. Nice composition and I like how the child is so wrapped up into feeding the seagulls that he is ignoring the photographer."

Judges' comments:
Drew Martin, multimedia editor: "Nice approach to the MCAS Beaufort Airshow - the flow of the jets trails, the vanishing point and the composition make this a not your normal air show photo. Probably one of the best for all air-show entries. Don't be afraid to crop - it can give your photos more impact."

Chris Williamson, Beaufort | Title: "Midflight"

Photographer's caption: Taken Sat April 11th at Air Show (Photographer-provided camera info: Using a Nikon D7000 with a 300mm Lens)

Judges' comments:
Drew Martin, multimedia editor: "Quite a few entries for the Blue Angels but this photographer shows great use of composition, sharpness and detail. Good use of film speed and shutter to capture this detail. If you zoom in enough -- and albeit the photo starts getting fragmented -- you can see that the lead pilot is actually looking at/toward the camera. Not knowing any details of the camera or the lens, this photo could easily have been taken with a consumer grade lens and body -- so for those that link they can't do this with affordable equipment, think again. Just do your research or ask the professional at a camera counter what you want to accomplish in your photography."

I took this photo last summer while watching a nesting pair of eagles. This is the male landing near the nest. One of my favorite things to photograph, and we are watching this same pair right now as they have blessed Beaufort with another eaglet!

This was my first visit to Bear Island. I had hoped to see the tundra swans but instead took a number of images of a flock of Ibis as they took flight from the grasses around Marys Pond. This was taken mid-morning on Jan. 13 under a grey sky with rain drizzling down on the birds and mid-morning under a grey sky with rain drizzling down on the birds and grasses.

The solos depicted in the picture showcase the inverted and systematic flight of the pilots wheels down. I found this position amazing as the speeds seem slower than earlier maneuvers and it almost looked like a mirror picture of the planes. The only differences is their tale numbers. If I had to name this picture I would call it Up and Down. I like this one because of the viewpoint. The straight on shot doesn't show both planes like this viewpoint. It has been a beautiful weekend and I am glad I was able to go and get some pictures of all the shows performers.

Photo taken March 3 on Broad Creek. I was shooting the sunset over Broad Creek when the pelican landed and was just floating on the tide. I liked the silhouette of the bird drifting on the sunset reflecting water. Then he began to take off, I kept shooting and was fortunate to capture the bird lifting off and the splash droplets as it did.

A female cardinal ready to beginning its flight which I took a few years ago in my backyard. I purposely wanted to capture the scene in slow motion.

It was taken last August while on a trip to Cape May, NJ. It was a new camera at the time so I was on the beach taking some pictures when I saw this seagull flying toward me. As he got close he turned his head toward me & looked right at me. I only had a second for one shot before he turn away.

At the corner of Greenwood Dr. and Plantation Dr. in Sea Pines Plantation, HHI, SC. 3/01/2015. Brown pelicans are often seen diving into the Atlantic for fish. What made this image special was, they chose a fisherman's favorite inland tidal pool to capture dinner! Walkers, bikers and photographers watched as pelicans soared high and dove straight down into the pool. This is one of 57 images I made that day. The pelicans have relocated their hunting back to the Atlantic!

Iris Chester submitted. This photo was taken by my son, Scott Horowitz, when he and his family were visiting me in Sun City last summer (2014). I was with my grandchildren watching this beautiful bird sitting on the edge of the dock at Riverbend. It was amazing how close we were to the bird before he took off. What I didn't know was that Scott was right behind us with his camera and took what I thought was an amazing picture.

Photography is a hobby of mine; as a choreographer, I like to photograph things in motion. It gives me motivation for new movement.
