We use the Gleam platform. And of all our past festivals, we have listened to your concerns, desires and needs. This is the first festival we have held in a long time for which we allow direct download on the platform. Most of the photo publications based in the United States are concentrated only in the United States. But we have a giant global audience that is very close to our hearts. As the founder of this website, I’m not going to throw a giant contingent of our readers under the bus. So, as always, this international contest.
I was mistakenly accused of giving preference to New York photographers and of conforming to scenes from New York. As the previous sentence indicates, this is not true, and this open-air festival illustrates it perfectly. Even though I am a Born and Raised New Yorker, this legally blind IIC has traveled the world during his travels. Would I like to live somewhere else? Well, maybe. I want a city that understands the world of photography and art, that has a forged basis of journalistic publications and fulfills my express impediment to being legally blind. My condition (keratoconas) cannot be resolved by surgery. I see the global as a portrait from a certain distance, but up close I have a pretty forged vision. The crusade doesn’t personally portray me for that. But that doesn’t mean I avoid it absolutely or that I don’t go into the wild. I do it totally, but I want binoculars, and I do it with friends and colleagues. These are my eyes and I am the ears of the group. That’s why this outdoor festival was fantastic for me. Between ultra-clear details, artistic blurs and dreamy colors, some of the world’s most prominent portraits are the wonderful exteriors. That’s why the photographs of vivid portraits that many of you have sent so kindly are fantastic additions to this contest.
So, what were you looking for? Well, I infrequently like to do a little vague contests. The Great Outdoors is fantastic: it can mean adventure, landscapes, astropmography, wildlife, etc. But the most important thing is that I looked for my jaw to fall out. Phoblographer editors get supplies every single week, and occasionally I say “Meh.” I’m conditioned that I have to. I want to perceive and provide our readers with what they paint and will make them want to click on our site because God does not want an online page to be hunting for moral clicks and to pay moral fees to their staff in 2020. We have been accused of not providing our high-end or attractive maximum photographs in our reviews. Frankly, no one else does either. That’s the nature of the review paintings. You have to film like others do. My full perspective is more like creation than capture. However, the winner and finalists of the Great Outdoors contest showed us their exclusive, exclusive and fantastic shot with which they tried to win. Some of you have come forward and asked your spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, roommates, partners, etc. to also enter using the same IP address. Know that when I saw this, I sighed every single time, but thank you for the new email addresses! We really want to, and keeping it on our list ensures that we can keep the site running, loose for everyone and pay staff fair and moral fees. It’s incredibly difficult to provide an exclusive online page, and you can see it only in the canopy of our homepage compared to many others. Since day one, I have believed a lot in our project to do this the right way.
Without further ado, I hope you are not only the winner but also the finalists. First I provide the finalists because I think they are incredibly important. People have asked in our last two competitions for the finalists, and here they are.
Just one fact: if you are a finalist, I invite you to appear in our in a short interview. Email me to chrisgampat (at) thephoblographer (dot) com and in the matter, hint at your call and that you are a finalist. And let’s show the world how glorious you are.
This symbol of Laurentiu Iarosevici shows a rather rare moment. How do you see seagulls on a line like this? This is a pretty impressive take due to the price of the moment.
This photo of Maclain Silvey is fair and comprehensive. You see the stars, the clouds, the sea, some land, etc. It’s cosmic!
This flash of Matt Stanman is beautiful. The use of black and white makes it even more powerful.
This picture of Nathan Brayshaw is the moment the filmmakers dream of. The fog.
Karl Richter Jr. does everything I like. I’m in favor and in love with surreal images. And that’s what it is. I like the color, but if it was a black-and-white photo, I probably would have won.
This picture of Glenn Ross shows us a tree that seems to need to escape from the ground. What a great scene!
This photo of Gerrit Jordaan has so many layers, and I love diapers! You see a user doing something very typical summer. And you get the reflections in the sky in the calm waters. It’s a great cliché!
This picture of Elio Nudelman almost won. It’s a sand dune and looks a lot like a water wave. In the most sensible way, I’ve enjoyed the black-and-white photographs of the desert.
This Don Willett symbol shows a guy who paints hard. I like the sturdiness of this photo. He’s warm and wears paint gloves (or make his hobby). Besides, look at the sky. It will open soon.
The calm and symmetry of this photo by Carl Turpie are magnificent. This is an area usage in the scene.
This photo by Andreas Gimpel is reinforced in component by retouching. Cloud framing is also helping considerably!
This photo of Alison Grasso is the other user who uploaded a symbol from the same IP address. And this is the epic scene that so many young people seek to recreate. I did it too, so I can be very interested in him.
This photo of Sangeeth Govindan is a pictorial symbol that gives the impression that the sky is on fire!
This picture of Sara Glik made me look at her for a long time. It almost looks like infrared, but I don’t think so.
This Sierre Nicole S. Tapuik thing is an epic moment! This cloud is very disturbing.
The scene above pierced Stéphane de Rouville. Looks like a painting.
This photo by Sundari Srinivasan as a Renaissance painting.
The solitary creature in this of Usha Peddamatham says a lot about conservation, nature and the forest itself. It’s nice.
The symbol above is through Yok Chaiwat SIRIYUENYONG. And it’s like a National Geographic photographer photographed it.
Judging by this competition, I confess that I was a little encouraged by Wes, the editor of Outdoor Photographer with whom we were running when Madavor Media represented us. He thought it wasn’t a landscape symbol or an outdoor photo if there was something of human origin or a user in the photo, and I used it as a component of my judgment. But at the same time, we are The Phoblographer. So I balance this with my own feelings and intuition. That said, here’s our winner.
Our winner is Donna Martinek. He wanted to surprise me. I looked for my jaw to fall off. So, when I saw this picture, I had to do a double. So I looked at him and said, “Shit.” How can this not be a super wild image?
Congratulations Donna. Email me to chrisgampat (at) thephoblographer (dot) com, and I’ll prepare you with your new camera and your new lens. On behalf of The Phoblographer, DUMBO Media Co and Olympus, we all need you to use it to continue photographing inspiring and stunning photos like this.
