Frozen Trees of Slovakia
Taken in Kosice, Slovakia from a motor vehicle. The amazing part was the weather system we had just travelled through to get here. Caught between two mountains it was blizzard conditions with almost no visibility. Then we travelled a road tunnel straight through the mountain on our way to Sucha Bela, a popular walking trail. When we came out the other end of the tunnel and saw blue skies I gasped. To go from near zero visibility to clear blue sky was amazing enough then to see the trees with frozen leaves like this against a blue backdrop was a photo I just had to take. The temperature at the time was below zero. – Davies
It’s hard to choose just one photo which you can define as your favourite, so i’ll show you the one which i was most surprised by. I took this at night time during a thunder storm just a few miles out to sea from Malta. It was pitch black apart from the momentary strikes of lightning covering the world in bright silver.
I programmed the settings manually with a long exposure, so all i could do was sit, wait and hope for the camera to capture a scene i only saw for fraction’s of a second at a time. And it came out just perfect, capturing a dark, powerful event:- James
I’d like to say that this was a result of skill and perfect timing, but in reality, it was just luck. Fire is so variable, so changing, that to catch it right at this moment was stunning. I’ve always thought of this as a symbol and a blessing.
I was in a marine cruise in Walvis Bay, Namibia, watching dolphins, seals, mola molas, cormorants, not paying so much attention in taking pictures.
But then, the captain threw a piece of fish from the boat and I had the privilege of picturing a pelican at the exact moment he grabbed the bite.
I love the perfection of the pelican in this action shot: the wings and beak wide open, and the fish “frozen” in time before being swallowed… I also like the presence of other birds giving sense of atmosphere to the picture.
In this version, I just photoshopped the wings of a bird I found distracting. Rezon
This was my first attempt at macro photography and was sitting in Hanging gardens in Mumbai watching these tiny creatures.. Suddenly i caught this moment …they were actually in this position for almost 30 seconds.. You can call it kiss. -

Somewhere off the Aleutian Islands in late March, 2008. The same day the FV Alaska Ranger sunk. 4 die after fishing vessel sinks
This was taken from the deck of an ocean going tug hiding from 100 knot winds behind the island you can see. I could only stand for a couple of seconds before the cold was too much and the lense was too wet. Then I took some time to warm up and try again. This was the best shot.
It’s hard to pick one photo, but this is for sure one of my favorites. I took this shot on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. I rented a helicopter and got a pilot to take me to take that historic shot. Not only I was able to get the approvals to fly on that night, I was also the first and only photographer to capture the lights from that angle. – Noam
