IMAGERY FROM THE LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR

01 JACOBITE IN THE AUTUMN BY JON BROOK LINES IN THE LANDSCAPE COMMENDED 

“It was one of those ‘sunshine and showers’ days. If the train had been on time, the whole scene would have been in the shadow of a cloud. As it happened, the viaduct was lit up just as the train crossed. I was lucky, but I was in the right position at the right time with the right settings on my Canon camera. Sometimes the more you plan, the luckier you get.”

02 LIGHTNING STORM OVER JODRELL BANK BY MELVIN NICHOLSON LANDSCAPES AT NIGHT WINNER

“I arrived at Jodrell Bank at 1am, as a fierce lightning storm was fast approaching. Once I was in position inside the back of the van for protection, I set up my camera and sat there for four hours documenting the storm. The power and intensity of a full-blown lightning storm is exhilarating and humbling, as everything around you illuminates incredibly brightly. Lightning was flashing in every direction and in quick succession too.”
