🏆 Landscape Astrophotography Contest Winners 🏆

In February 2022, we run a special contest on Landscape Astrophotography. You can read more about this particular contest in the February 2022 contests announcement.

1st Place

Karangahake Gorge by Fred Zimmer
Prize: 50 credits

This piece was processed and handled very well. The color balance and the detail enhancements were done perfectly. Also, everything is in harmony, especially between the details of the sky and the foreground.

2nd Place

Milkyway Summit by John Tipton
Prize: 25 credits

This piece was another challenging one due to its high dynamic range between shadows and highlights. With the post-processing, all the light differences blend greatly in the final image.
