WINNERS GALLERY Feb 2020

"Landscape" 2020 Theme Winners

From coastal regions, to plains and magnificent mountain ranges the Landscape view can be one of the most awe inspiring and beautiful images we will ever frame up.  Large in scale, lines, imagination and range but filled with so many beautiful details they can also be one of the most challenging to compose.

Good Night Utah BY ​Julio Castro Pardo

Picture
Our First Place Winner was submitted by 
Julio Castro Pardo​ from La Coruña, Spain​
I was born in La Coruña, studied pharmacy and it was not until the beginning of the year 2015 that I assaulted my curiosity about photography.    

Like most I started taking photos to everything, with techniques like HDR that made the photos look a lot with little work. However, after attending a couple of courses such as the Night Photography and Lightpainting of the Lightbrothers and Alchemist Light I began to become increasingly interested in this type of photography that was so spectacular.    

In addition, I was always a big fan of nature and landscapes, and in combination with the long exposure photography that I also used for night, I found the type of photography I wanted to do: Landscape Photography and nightlife.    ​

Aliens by ​Wojciech Kruczynski

Picture
Our Honorable Mention Winner was submitted by 
Wojciech Kruczynski​ ​ from Piastow Poland
I am an amateur landscape photographer from Poland, also known as Swen Stroop.  My favorite places to take my pictures is Iceland, Scotland and Norway (especially the Hebrides and Lofoten Islands).  I always spend my vacations in these locations, on feet with backpack or on my bicycle, struggling with rain, cold wind and ugly midges. I can't imagine something more beautiful and pleasant than this.
