I’m thrilled to announce the upcoming St. Clair Region Conservation Authority (SCRCA) photo contest with which Oh Me Nerves Photography has partnered. This is a contest, where photographers of all skill levels can showcase their talent and passion for capturing the beauty of our local environment. This year, I have the honor of not only judging the contest but also partnering with Vanguard World to bring an exciting prize for the adult Habitat and Landscape category. The SCRCA photo contest is a wonderful opportunity for photographers to celebrate the diverse landscapes, habitats and wildlife that make our region so special. Whether it's the lush forests, serene wetlands, or breathtaking vistas, there’s no shortage of natural beauty waiting to be captured through your lens.‍

Introducing the Prize for the Adult Habitat and Landscape Category

‍I’m especially excited to announce that this year’s prize for the Adult Habitat and Landscape category donated through Vanguard World's ambassador, Shaun Antle aka Oh Me Nerves Photography in partnership with Vanguard World, is the Vanguard Vesta GO 234CB Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod. This lightweight yet sturdy tripod is perfect for photographers who love exploring the outdoors, offering the stability needed for capturing those perfect landscape shots. Whether you’re shooting at dawn, dusk, or anywhere in between, this tripod will be an invaluable tool in your photography kit.‍
