Russell Brown, the chief Adobe Evangelist and all round funny guy has started a photo contest-The Best Photos of Russell.

The contest is only actually open to those photographers that went on the “Lightroom Iceland Adventure” but Russell has given PhotoshopNews permission to post them so our readers can also add to the vote tally.

The winning photographer from the trip will receive an Apple iPod (probably given to Russell by Apple).
Editor’s note: We’ve added the photo credits to the images so you can see who shot which images.
