PHOTO CONTEST, 2: Whether you snap a state park picture 
with your camera or your phone, it could be a winner. We 
explain ... ahead ... on Passport to Texas

This is Passport to Texas

Grab your camera or your camera phone and get to a state 
park. Texas State Parks Outdoor Activity of the month for 
March is photography and nature viewing.

03 - Go to the closest state park and take lots of photos


Chase Fountain is a professional photographer working for 
Texas Parks and Wildlife. Now through April 30, when you 
upload your Texas State Park photos to our Flickr photo 
sharing account, you're entered into a contest.

24-[For first place] the nice folks at Whole Earth provision 
Company provided us with a Go Pro camera, which does high 
definition video; it's also an 11 mega pixel camera. It has a lot of 
different attachments where you can put it on your helmet, on 
your bike on your canoe; it's completely waterproof up to 197 
feet. Second prize is going to be a weekend camping excursion at 
a state park of your choice; and third place is the Texas Outdoor 
Family workshop for six.
 
Chase is one of the contest judges. 

20 -The winner is going to be based on composition creativity 
and overall impression. I want real good family oriented type 
shots - the more the better. You don't have to be a professional 
photographer to come up with great shots. Some of the better 
shots are from a mom and her kids out in the park, and they just 
take a great shot. I'm always amazed. And I'm the first one to say: 
that's a great shot.
