‘Lake Ruantaniwha’
by Steve Reardon
“I took this photo with my Nikon D750
and kit lens on a road trip to Twizel,
on New Zealand’s South Island.
A manmade lake, Lake Ruantaniwha
is used for rowing competitions.”Digital Camera says: A well-
captured reflection that manages
to avoid cropping out any of the key
elements; the dramatic super-wide
crop only enhances the image further.
Keeping the stunning mix of warm and
cool hues natural in post-production
was definitely the right decision.5
‘Zig Zag’ by Janet Wright
“Taken from Blackpool’s Central
Pier. I liked the zig-zag effect of the
steps and the shadows of the couple.
Also, the boy was looking towards the
girl, which gives them a connection –
they were together.”Digital Camera says: We’d love to
see a tighter crop isolating the steps
in the frame completely, Janet, and
we wonder what this image would
look like in black and white.Reader gallery
