Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia By Judith Kuhn

Picture
 Our Second Place Winner was submitted by 
Judith Kuhn​​​ ​​​​ from Immenstaad, Germany

​
Hello! I am Judith...

Everything I know about photography is self-educated. A few books here, some internet research there, inspiration from the works of other photographers and a lot, really a lot of trying things out has brought me to where I am today.

My great happiness is my home on beautiful Lake Constance, where I have a lot of photo spots right on my doorstep and the way to the Austrian, Swiss and Italian Alps is not too far. I also love to travel to more exotic destinations on my vacation, with the north being particularly appealing to me.
