WINNERS GALLERY Feb 2022

"Landscape​" 2022 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.

Strbske Pleso High Tatras Slovakia BY Martin​​​ ​Kucera

Picture
Our First Place Winner was submitted by 
Martin​​​ ​Kucera from Komarno, Slovakia
My name is Martin Kučera and I am a non-professional photographer.

Photography has been a part of my life since I was a child, as my father was a fan of photography, we also had a darkroom at home. So at first I unconsciously perceived all the things around photography and later I started to try it all in practice. My first photos were black and white, which I also developed myself, from a negative to a positive process. I was fascinated by the development of films, the transfer of images to photo paper, the need to follow precise procedures, different types of photo papers, films and how much impact the processing process has on the result. For some time I also devoted myself to the color positive process.

Photography is my passion and part of my life, even though I don’t do it professionally or commercially. I am constantly trying to improve and understand the world of photography even better.

I have been awarded the artistic title of “Artist FIAP” (AFIAP) by THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ART.

 The Fairyland​​ BY PANOS LASKARAKIS

Picture
 Our Second Place Winner was submitted by 
Panos  Laskarakis from Ioannina, Greece


I first got involved in photography in 2005 and since then I have kept on evolving my techniques and knowledge, through a series of valuable experiences, by visiting several places on the planet like the Arctic, Africa, Asia, America, and Europe, capturing impressive sights with a different perspective.

Nature photography is love, passion, exploration, adventure, and creation. I always look for dramatic action and I feel alive in every sense when I experience the greatness of natural elements. I live my life traveling to every possible destination, searching for days on end for instantaneous, breathless scenes.

Geislar Alm By Tomasz Rojek

Picture
Our Third Place Winner was submitted by 
Tomasz​​​​ ​Rojek​​ from Rudy,  Poland
I was born in the mid-seventies and I am from Poland.   My adventure with photography begins with a passion for travel. Many years ago, while still in college, I began to see the beauty of the world around us, its various corners, those close and those in distant countries. This led me to visit many places both in Poland and beyond its borders. An indispensable companion of every traveler is a camera. This was so in my case, but initially my photography was directed on documenting what I had the opportunity to see. Over time, I wanted something more than another photo from a trip, something more than another photo of one place or another. For several years I have been trying to create frames consciously, use the aura, the times of the day and the year to show my vision of the places I visit.  

Today I carefully plan every trip for my photography. Both the places I visit and travel time are subjected to it. My idea for photography is to follow the light, seek and use it in the best possible way.
