Contest Photo Sophie 2009
[i]In memory of Sophie Gratalon, who represents both the friends lost in mountains and those that make Camptocamp alive (see as well)[/i]
Winning photo
We thank all those who participated in the contest, from 10 year old Victorien who wanted to honour his dad who passed away in the mountains, to guides who shared pictures from their work, and dozens of contributors who simply shared in the collective effort. Each picture contributed equally to this magnificant gallery, which is the best prize for the whole community and a beautiful tribute to Sophie Gratalon and all those contributors we lost to the mountains. The jury is proud to announce the winner of this first edition of the photo contest Sophie 2009:
Vincent Astier, y su foto "Ombres et courbes sous la Pierra Menta (Beaufortin)"
Vincent Astier:
[i]Remontant sous l’imposante Pierra Menta, depuis le Lac d’Amour, la foulée s’allonge pour distancer les copains afin de les «saisir» au meilleur endroit ! Un coup d’œil à gauche. La composition devrait être belle, avec ces ombres qui s’allongent…
Le soleil prend son temps… et la belle bosse, ici, juste devant, ne reçoit pas encore les premiers rayons !
Qu’importe, les potes sont là… alors pourquoi ne pas s’octroyer une pause le temps d’un grignotage et d’une gorgée de flotte? 10 minutes de contemplation, un moment de partage et quelques regards admiratifs sur les lieux !
Enfin le soleil inonde la première bosse. Les ombres devraient se projeter à merveille… ! Finie la pause, à vous de jouer !
Le «clic» de l’obturateur immortalise l’endroit majestueux ou tous les éléments s’harmonisent…[/i]
The selected twelve

A photo contest in Camptocamp is a recurrent idea. It is time to make it real. After all the adventures, travels, and summer holydays and before the skis catch all our attention, this is the right time to review your photos, choose your masterpieces, and share them with the community.
This contest is devoted to become the annual Camptocamp photo contest and become open to as many people as possible. But it's still at its beginnings and we want to pose its bases slowly but surely. That's why all photos compete in the same category. All topics related to Camptocamp are welcome. You can participate with a maximum of 3 photos per person.
