I entered a couple of panoramas last year and did not win anything. I set my expectations low. Life has been busy, and with everything going on in the world I didn&#8217;t have a chance until now to do a little write up. The Epson International Pano Awards have two competitions: Open and Amateur. They are judged separately. Since I do not make my living through my photography, I entered each of my 5 entries into the Nature \/ Landscape category of both competitions. The result? I won a silver award and 6 bronze awards! Check out the photos below. One of my panoramas did not earn an award, but I had considered that one a long shot.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1539\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1539\" style=\"width: 706px\"
