4.15 by Ole Henrik Skjelstad

Sunrise Romsdalen, Norway. I have posted a version of this image before (that version is still up), but I edited it way too dark – I like this version better. One of those times where I was at the right place at the right time. The sun soon was obscured by the mountain to the right.

The Riot by Leonardo Papèra

TUSCANY PHOTO TOURS | ICELAND PHOTO TOURS | LOFOTEN PHOTO TOURS | LAPLAND PHOTO TOURS | INSTAGRAM [ENG] After an era of absence, here I am again to post something here on Facebook! Lately I’ve been pretty busy, but finally I have a moment to catch my breath.
Coming to the shot, today I propose you a photo made during one of my trips in the Dolomites; needless to say where it was done, I think these are among the most famous mountains of the Dolomites (Cadini di Misurina)!
Just two information about how it has been made: double exposure, a shot made at the very late blue hour for the mountains at 35mm, f/4, 70″, ISO 640 and another shot made 20 minutes later or so with the astrotracker iOptron Skytracker at 35mm, f / 2, 60 “, ISO 640.
What do you think about coming with me to experience these emotions? To visit these amazing places? I have just put online on my website www.leonardopapera.com all dates for the fall / winter season 2018/2019, with departures for Iceland, Lofoten, Lapland.. In case you are interested, contact me for anything directly here, with the contact form on the website or at leo.papera@gmail.com! And for my Tuscany/Cinque Terre tours (all-year round!) remember to visit www.tuscanyphotographytours.com ! [ITA] Dopo un’era di assenza, eccomi di nuovo a postare qualcosa anche qui su Facebook! Ultimamente sono stato piuttosto impegnato, ma finalmente adesso ho un attimo per riprendere fiato. Venendo al dunque, oggi vi propongo uno scatto fatto durante un mio viaggetto sulle Dolomiti; inutile dire dove è stato fatto, credo che queste siano tra le montagne già famose delle Dolomiti (i Cadini di Misurina)!
Giusto due informazioni anche sulla realizzazione: doppia esposizione, uno scatto fatto a tardissima ora blu per le montagne a 35mm, f/4, 70”, ISO 640 ed un altro scatto fatto na ventina di minuti dopo con inseguitore iOptron Skytracker a 35mm, f/2, 60”, ISO 640. Che ne dite di venire con me il prossimo anno a vivere queste emozioni? A visitare questi posti incredibili? Ho appena messo online sul mio sito www.leonardopapera.com tutte le partenze per la stagione autunno/inverno 2018/2019, con partenze per Islanda, Lofoten, Lapponia..

Wildlife Photographer Of The Year 2018 by Marsel van Oosten

I am both extremely proud and humbled that I just won the Grand Title ‘Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2018’! My image ‘The Golden Couple’ won First Prize in the Animal Portraits category and then suddenly also won the grand title. I did not see that one coming, which explains why I then gave the worst speech in the history of WPY. The image features two golden snub-nosed monkeys that I photographed in south-west China.
The Qinling golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana qinlingensis) is an Old World monkey in the Colobinae subfamily. It is endemic to a small area in the temperate forests of the Qinling Mountains at elevations of 1,500-3,400 m above sea level. These beautiful animals are listed as Endangered by the IUCN as only some 3,800 individuals still exist. Most people have never seen these creatures, and awareness is a critical first step towards the successful conservation of any species. This is why I think it is important to show these images to the world. Their main threat, as often, is habitat-loss. For instance, lichens are the main staple of the monkey’s diet and dead trees have the greatest lichen coverage. Unfortunately, dead trees are harvested, thus reducing the quality of the habitat and availability of food. The monkey is a highly selective feeder, so damage to its habitat seriously impacts the species. The males have large bodies covered with very long, golden guard hairs on their backs. Females are about half the size of the males, and their golden guard hairs are shorter. The golden snub-nosed monkey is found in groups ranging in size from 5-10 individuals to bands of about 600. The males often stay solitary, remaining away from the rest of the group members as they rest, but females or juveniles sometimes join them. Congratulations to all the other winners, and a big thank you to Daniella – my voice controlled mobile light stand 🙂 And thank you to WPY, the judges (I’ll be wiring your money tomorrow), and all the people who have worked so hard to make this such a great event – you’re the best. – – – If you would like to photograph these amazing monkeys yourself, then join us on our 2019 China’s Endangered Wildlife photo tour from 30 March – 12 April.
