Troy's Home Page : Blog

My personal blog. Hand coded and basic, it's my online method of keeping friends up to date with my goings on, venting frustrations, and talking to myself.

The term "blog" comes from "web log" and is a form of online diary.

16/8/08 : Winner!

Well I've got some exciting news, for me anyway. I've been entering some competitions with some of my photos and winning! 2 recent wins:

I mentioned recently that I was entering a small competition entitled "Detail in Macro". This was being held by deviantART - an art and photography website that I am a member of. Great community. Results were posted today and I won with this photo:

Been getting heaps of comments and congratulations on there. The prize was $50 and a year's subscription to the site. First prize I've won!

Between you and me, I reckon the guy that got second place should have won. No idea why they chose mine over his, but I'll take it :)

Second comp I've had success at recently was Brisbane's Ekka! They have a photography competition there. I didn't even think of entering, but Kristy talked me into it. I submitted 3 photos, and this one got 4th Place, High Commendation:

How happy am I? Very :)
