Famous photographer Dorothea Lange once said, “Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”
We asked amateur photographers to do exactly that for the sixth annual Missouri DNR Photo Contest: Arm yourself with a camera and a love for Missouri’s natural resources and capture a fleeting moment. This year we received more than 350 submissions and selected first, second and third place winners, as well as honorable mention, in three categories: Natural Resources, Unique Places and People Enjoying Missouri’s Natural Resources. From sweeping views of Missouri state parks and recreation on Missouri’s waterways and trails, to beautiful wildlife and the natural resources they call home, these photos capture the essence of Missouri.
