🏆 Landscape Astrophotography Contest Winners 🏆
In January 2022 we launched a special contest on Landscape Astrophotography. You can read more about this special contest in the January 2022 contests announcement.
1st Place
Prize: 50 credits
This piece has been post-processed masterfully having a very good balanced foreground and sky in terms of color and detail. This was challenging data in terms of the light sources around and location. David had a great job preserving the details in the milky way and the stars while reducing the noise effectively.

2nd Place
Prize: 25 credits
This piece was a challenging one due to the red light painting in the foreground. The over saturated red color in the foreground has been successfully taken out and it blends so naturally with the sky tones. Also, the noise level has been greatly taken down while preserving details both in the foreground and sky.
