Photographer Of The Year 2019

1. Iceland Summer Sunset

BY WAYNE KLIEWER

What an amazing painterly image! HDR can often look overcooked, but here the photographer has produced a subtle rendition that captures everything from the brightest sky to the darkest shadows. The framing, with the sun setting behind the mountain, avoids the image blowing out.

Camera: Nikon D810

Lens: 14-24mm f/2.8

Exposure: Five shots 1/4 sec-4 secs, f/22, ISO64

2. Interessanter Regenbogen

BY ROBERT JUVET

A magical scene. The f/5 aperture means that depth of field is shallow for a landscape, but as the interest is in the distant lighted areas, this is unimportant. The settings suggest that this was taken with no tripod, but the moment may have been missed if they’d tried to set one up.

Camera: Nikon D850

Lens: 15-30mm f/2.8

Exposure: 1/80 sec, f/5, ISO250

3. Provence Tree

BY STEVE OLDFIELD

For this month’s summer landscapes competition, we had many entrants submitting gorgeous fields of lavender, but this is our favourite. The vivid furrows of lavender make for some wonderful leading lines that direct the gaze to the lone tree. The photographer’s choice to make use of a square crop was also a smart decision, that results in a meticulously balanced photograph.

Camera: Nikon D810

Lens: 70-200mm f/4

Exposure: 1 sec, f/16, ISO100

4. Lindisfarne Castle

BY TRUDY KEPKE
