SPOT NEWS

Comments: Not enough entries, carried over to next month

MULTI-PHOTO

Comments: This category was really disappointing. It’s ok to go to an event to make a multi photo package but the photos need to be different from one another and not just the same photo repeated.  Think moments, wide angle, tight, detail and maybe even portraits. Think about different ways to tell the story as a package. Judges only awarded two entries.

Comments: Too many of the same photos. Would benefit from more variety in the edit.

Workers use booms to pull cranberries to a hopper while loading a transport trailer during harvest at a Mayberry Farms bog in Burnaby, B.C., on Monday, October 24, 2022. After spending the weekend beating the cranberries off vines with machines, harvest began Monday once the bog was completely flooded with water pumped from the nearby Fraser River. Due to the air pockets in the fruit they float to the surface. An easterly wind then aided workers by helping move the cranberries to one end of the bog. Workers then use booms to corral the berries and they are loaded onto transport trailers and delivered to the Ocean Spray receiving and processing facility in Richmond. Farm owner Derek May expected it to take a week to harvest his Burnaby bogs. Once harvest is complete the water is returned to the river. The B.C. cranberry harvest makes up approximately 12 percent of the North American crop according to the BC Cranberries Marketing Commission.
