Tops in Connecticut 2021 Show Available

TOPS in Connecticut is the premier venue for Connecticut photographers to share, exhibit and boast of their excellent work.  The TOPS competition, sponsored by the Connecticut Association of Photographers (CAP), is presented every two years.  For the 2020 event, 84 Connecticut photographers entered the competition, competing submitting 392 images!  For this show we present the top 120 images selected by our judges across nine different categories, each accompanied by narrated commentaries written by CAP board members. Due to Covid-19 this year's competition was judged virtually rather than in person as in the past. The show is being presented online rather than at an awards banquet for the same reason.

The judges for the exhibition were:

• Darrell Gulin, Canon Explorer of Light
• Lisa Langell, Tamron Ambassador the FotoPro Ambasdador
• Peter Baumgarten, Olympus Visionary

Congratulations to all the medal winners and and to all the images selected for this prestigious merit. We hope that you enjoy the presentation and look forward to 2022.

Virtual Field Trip-Bridges

The CAP trips committee came up with a wonderful way for us all to get out and photograph during our Covid Pandemic. All normal field trips had been suspended to keep everyone safe. As an alternative and safe way to photograph the same subject type was substituted. Each member could go our on his or her own at a day and time convenient. The subject was “Bridges of Connecticut”, covered or otherwise.

Between March 25th and April 25th twenty two of our CAP members went out and photographed some of the many bridges Connecticut has to offer. There were footbridges, railroad bridges, highway bridges and bridges over water. Sixty images were submitted to Jim Dionne who put them into a show with music. The show was uploaded to YouTube.
