PhotographyCorner.com Announces the May 2010 Photograph of the Month

Online, May 10, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Photography Corner ( www.PhotographyCorner.com ) has announced that Scott Williams is the winner of the May 2010 Photograph of the Month contest. The winning photo was chosen by site members from a total of fifteen nominated photographs with over a quarter of the votes.

Scott won the latest photograph of the month contest with a photo titled "Pure Beauty," a close-up of a mandarin duck. This was the first Photograph of the Month award received by Scott Williams. For winning the PhotographyCorner.com May 2010 Photograph of the Month, Scott was awarded a Tamron Domke bag and strap (a $70 value) and a Lifetime, Level II Premiere Membership to PhotographyCorner.com (a $129 value).

Tamron, the sponsor of the May 2010 Photograph of the Month, is a leading manufacturer of photographic lenses. Among its many optical and mechanical innovations since the founding of the company in 1950, 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.
