Ski & Shoot Sunshine Contest

Jamis Stanton said...

Im not exactly sure if your picture qualifies to win the skis though, I think it may fall under the "Your Best Shot" catagory, its up to the organizers to decide.

Michael Leeson said...

Good question I think I would get the skis since it's a ski picture. I don't know whether you would get the snowboard or whether it has to be a snowboard picture to qualify for that prize. Either way I know you get a couple ski passes and 5 cases of your favourite pepsi product

Jamis Stanton said...

I dont care if I win, I just dont think this one diserves to, no offence of course. Also I dont think you've won yet, I think their still investigating all the votes makeing sure nobody cheated, I really hope you didn't cause that would be a shame,

anyways If you win do you get the skis or snowboard? How do you think they will decide that? let you choose? and i get the other?

Michael Leeson said...

Maybe the format could have been better, but I don't think you should be complaining Jamis because even if there was judging your photo wouldn't have won. The front flip was nice, best move on here, but the picture could have been a lot better. Like you said its a photo contest, not a trick contest. Work on your photography skills and maybe next year you'll win.

Kevin Annala said...

Totally agree Jamis. MEC takes the top 5 votes in each category and has some judges vote for the top vid.

Jamis Stanton said...

ya they should get some sunshine staff members to vote between the top few pictures like this picture is winning first place in a photo contest really?

Adam J said...

Wow, if this photo is really going to win it, with sooo many better ones out there... just wow. This contest format was a joke, really.

Michael Leeson said...

You get them to vote earlier but tell them to wait until the end to actually confirm the vote

Jamis Stanton said...

wow there was 20minutes left in the contest and the guy went up 17votes in pretty much 5 minutes, im impressed I wouldn't even be able to ask 15 people to vote for me in 5minutes let alone have tham all actually go do it, dont know how you did it man your a magician

Jamis Stanton said...

wow. this picture just went up from 175 votes to 190 vote in literaly 5 minutes and its 12:30 at night who is around at 12:30 that you can get to vote for you? i dono how he does it.

Jamis Stanton said...

so if this wins does it win best ski picture or best snowboard picture? like its just a guy standing there... he would get to pick?

Josh Smith said...

If this wins I am gonna want a good explanation why.....

Kyo Song said...

Great shot but not the best. Artistic because it's done in black and white that really captures the textures of the mountain but probably not as impactful in the colour version. There are a ton of amazing shots that have 10 votes or less. Personally like 'Sunshine Heaven' in the current top 5.

Jamis Stanton said...

I keep like just randomly looseing votes my picture is flippin off standish

Jamis Stanton said...

its winning because this contest is rigged somthing fishy is goin on with strutta the company that's hosting the contest

steven said...

This is pretty weak...How is this photo winning???

Shane Dawe said...

Dude must have a lot of friends, and I mean A LOT! But I kinda like it.

robert boersma said...

i can not believe this is winning

Adam J said...

Agreed, it's really not the best on here.javascript:;

maximus said...

Its a cool shot, but I seriously don't think it should be winning.

maximus said...

I Like how it says blue bird day, but its in black and white.

Freddy Buckworth said...

Jamis Stanton said...

Elias Arevalo said...

Andrew Hamilton said...

P said...

Nice black and white. Classic

Jill Geier said...

Hi Winnie :)
loveeeee you

Adam J said...

Hahaha, your a funny guy Ryan. You took that straight from ''sunshine on strawberry' (another sub-par shot). And I too love taking big dumps in the glades on goats eye - those brown patches aren't always dirt!

Ryan Goyette said...

This picture is pretty exciting. Simple, yet complex. The beauty of the mountain curves is accented by the ''Powder Glades of Goat's Eye'. It captures the perfect complement of human and nature for the wonderful sports we all enjoy of skiing and snowboarding.

Ryan Goyette said...

I've taken a fresh dump on goat's eye too!!

Geoffrey Quan said...

So tell me how you put in that background using photoshop haha

Ryan Goyette said...
