PhotographyCorner.com Announces the July 2010 Photograph of the Month

Online, July 2, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Photography Corner ( www.PhotographyCorner.com ) has announced that Vince Maidens is the winner of the July 2010 Photograph of the Month contest. The winning photo was chosen by site members from a total of 15 nominated photographs with over 37% of the votes.

Vince Maidens won the latest photograph of the month contest with a photo titled "Great Horned Owl - Incoming" which depicted a great horned owl mid-flight. This was the first Photograph of the Month award received by Vince. The win also came on his first nominated photograph - a very rare occurrence. For winning the PhotographyCorner.com July 2010 Photograph of the Month, Vince Maidens was awarded a Tamron AF 17-50mm F/2.8 SP XR Di II VC Zoom Lens provided by Tamron. A leading manufacturer of photographic lenses, Tamron's development of mass-produced hybrid aspherical elements paved the way for today's compact high ratio zoom lenses when, in 1992, this technology was incorporated into the groundbreaking 28-200mm. Tamron continues to lead in this category with the award-winning 18-270mm - featuring an unprecedented 15X zoom range - and featuring Tamron's proprietary Vibration Compensation (VC) system. Tamron has garnered international acclaim for its high ratio zoom lenses.
