  1. Scott – the town in Utah with the probable light-painted shot, “Tooele”, is pronounced “two-ILL-uh” – about 30 miles to the west of SLC on the south side of the Great Salt Lake which is possibly the body of water in the image.

  2. Some really good images here. You really do have a hard job Scott! As a side note, the “Best Shot Of People Staring At A Big Yellow Dot On A Wall” image is actually depicting the Australian Aboriginal flag painted on a wall in the inner city suburb of Redfern in Sydney, Australia. Just thought you may be interested! …

    1. Actually, I tell a lie. This should be titled “Best Shot Of People Staring At A Poster Featuring A Big Yellow Dot On A Wall”. I noticed the “Sydney Life” logo and the bottom of the image and investigated. This image was taken at Hyde Park In the centre of Sydney at an exhibition. It’s actually a photo of two kids looking at a large poster of a well known wall depicting the Australian Aboriginal flag in Redfern. The original image, “Eleanor, portrait of a boxer”, won the Winner of the 2013 Sydney Life Photography Exhibition … http://www.artandabout.com.au/festival-program/sydney-life/

  3. Its funny that when you sign up for a walk you think of a location. But unless you have scouted out that location in the past these pictures show very little relation to a specific location especially when you have people in the photo.as the prime focus.

    Really looking forward to Scott’s Rome part 2 in terms of the people. “Best picture of a Roman while on vacation with your spouse.”

  4. Hi Scott,

    Thank you for spending so much time on my photo in the video blog. I am truly honored! To clear a few things up; the fox wasn’t drugged, it’s not a Photoshop job, and perhaps most importantly… While I appreciate being considered “one of the guys”, in this particular instance I almost hate to inform you that I am, indeed, a woman. :)

    Thanks again!

  6. Best Shot Of A Leaf (or whatever it is) On Bars
    Marco Van Apeldoorn (Graveland, Netherlands)

    As a walkleader i have to say; this is the sleeve of a beechnut ;-)

  7. Thank you Scott for picking my image and publishing it on your blog – I was so touched to find it among honourable mentions!!! I would like to thank you on the behalf of all photographers all over the world for the time and effort you spend to communicate, talk on the blog, hold the annual WWPW …. Thanks Scott Kelby!

  8. I just googled over this blog post and discovered my image (the last one with the chain).
    Thank you for mentioning it!

    Just two corrections:
    – Name of our wunderful city: Regensburg (English: Ratizbon) in Bavaria, Germany

    – It’s not a HDR pic! :-)
