Sanibel Island Amateur Nature Photography Contest

November 4, 2015 by Nina Rogers

With a vibrant natural habitat and exotic wildlife, there are endless opportunities to capture beautiful photographs on Sanibel Island. Every day is a new piece of art.

Last month JN “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge had their 28th annual Amateur Nature Photography contest. Quite a popular event, this year’s event included participants from 14 states and 4 countries. As always, three judges reviewed the submissions; a refugee staff member, a professional photographer, and a member of the Sanibel community.

It might not be such a surprise that the subject of all three winning photographs happened to be fowl; in addition to beaches and shelling, Sanibel is known for it’s vibrant and active bird population. The Island Sun featured the top three taking center stage: a white pelican, yellow-crowned night heron, and blue heron. You can find all 13 winning photographs on the “Ding” Darling Wildlife Society website.

Besides photography contests, Sanibel and Captiva Islands are a photographers playground, both professional and amateur. When you catch a stunning sunset or a wildlife resident crossing the street, you can’t help but snap a pic with your iPhone. That’s everyday life on Sanibel.

If you’re interested in Sanibel real estate, whether you’re buying, selling, or just looking, contact us, search our MLS for available properties, or get in touch with one of our Sanibel realtors.
