 Magic Morning BY ​Yves ​Demers

Our First Place Winner was submitted by 
Yves Demers​​​ from Saint-Sauveur Quebec
For me...  Photographers capture moments to create lasting memories or provoke thought and discussion. They work to make statements with their photos, a poem...  a fable.

Cloudy Arch by ​Julio ​Castro Pardo

Picture
Our Third 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.  

I hope to grow day after day as a photographer, sharing this hobby with all of you through this website where I will publish besides my photos, my trips in search of locations to immortalize besides various tutorials that may be useful both from my own harvest and of great photographers you find on the net.
