(^02) ONCE UPON A TIME BY ERIKA VALKOVICOVA
1ST ADULT WILD LANDSCAPE
“The nights are magical during the
midnight sun season, when the floating
icebergs are painted in soft shades of
pink, orange and yellow,” says Erika, who
captured this on her Canon EOS 5DS R
from a boat in Ilulissat Icefjord, Greenland.
The low sun has injected a warm colour
cast onto this cold and harsh terrain.
Lens Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM
Exposure 1/250 sec, f/5.6, ISO400
(^03) GAMBLING IN JANSHUI BY MARCO
TAGLIARINO 1ST ADULT TRAVEL
OVERALL ADULT WINNER
The wide-angle perspective is what makes
this shot so captivating, sat amongst the
action, you really feel like you’re part of the
scene. The atmosphere and expressions
feel natural, as if they are unaware of the
image being taken. It’s a fantastically well
executed example of travel photography.
Lens Canon EF 24mm f/1.4 II USM
Exposure 1/10 sec, f/2.8, ISO640
(^04) MARCO BY CORENTIN HAIS
1ST YOUNG PORTRAIT
This intense, compositionally strong
capture, by Corentin, pulls the viewer
straight to the subject’s gaze creating an
exchange between viewer and image. It has
a brilliant gritty and textured filmic quality.
Lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM
Exposure 1/125 sec, f/10, ISO50
