Morant's Curve Alberta - The winners have been selected for the 2019 London Drugs Amateur Photographer of the Year contest after judges looked through more than 26,000 entries of remarkable vistas, local gems, family portraits, and West Coast adventures.
 
The grand prize winner is Lori Kupsch from Red Deer, Alberta, with her photo Morant's Curve.
 
She captured the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train passing through Banff's majestic peaks.
 
  Holiday Train my a--. It's a grain train. More dumb reporting.
 
Photography has been Kupsch's passion since she was a young girl.
 
"I remember playing with my parent's Brownie camera as a child. I would pretend to take a picture and then draw it," she said to Black Press Media upon learning that she won.
 
By winning, Kupsch will receive a $2,000 London Drugs gift card, which she said she plans to spend on more camera equipment including a new lens.
 
When asked what advice she would give to aspiring photographers, Kupsch said, "practice, practice, practice, take some workshops and lessons, and learn your camera."
 
Kupsch also won the contest's Scenic Canada category, winning an additional $500 London Drugs gift card.
