          • This is another image captured during quick fading twilight. Most of these type of images are longer exposures due to the inherit, and often problematic, dynamic, and low light conditions. So, even though there is a small window of time to capture such images, it is also a time of patience. Especially when other people continuously walk into your composition during an extended exposure!

          • Hi, my name is Michaela from Germany and I'd like to thank everybody who voted for my photo! So happy about it! This is a b&w transfer of a macro shot of a blowball. Other editing was kept minimal as i wanted to maintain the soft structure of the flower. Camera was Fujifilm x-t20. Also congrats to the winner!

          • I wanted to capture this dynamic landscape in another way, again allowing the viewer to experience in a single image, that incorporates and reveals this sweeping period of time that otherwise the eye can not directly proof. “Odyssey” is the name I gave this image as I thought about the journey of light and time around these quiet West Texas dunes. At night, I setup my camera to take a series of many pictures (after the moon set) to capture the southern star trails over several hours. Early in the morning, just as the sun was breaking the horizon, I exposed the last frame showing the long early shadows. To arrive at the final image, I had to fuse more than eighty exposures into one. Thanks to the cooperation of no clouds, low or mild wind, mostly no moon, and extra batteries, “Odyssey” was born.

          • Thank you for voting for my photo! It was taken at Ann Lee Pond in Albany, NY, US. with a NIKON D5600. f/5, 1/1250 sec, ISO-400. The geese were busy that day and this one lifted off to greet another incoming couple. --Cathy Jones
