Jarbas Agnelli gets around—and he brings his Canon 20D and a tripod with him. Time-lapse photography is a hobby for Jarbas, who travels regularly for business from his home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to New York and Brazil. He created his winning entry, “Lightwaves,” using more than 10,000 still shots from a variety of locations (including Miami, Hawaii, and São Paulo, Brazil). Check out his winning time-lapse movie.

Judging for this challenge was tough, and we have two standout honorable mentions: John Purcell’s submission featuring a soothing skyscape was created entirely using the iSight camera on his MacBook Pro. And Thomas Douglas brought us a slice of middle America with three scenes from a Midwestern summer’s day. We wish we had three Pentax K10Ds to give away—we hope the runners-up won’t be too disappointed with their Mac|Life T-shirts.
