FANTASTIC CANON PHOTOGRAPHY
STUNNING IMAGERY FROM THE WORLD OF CANON PHOTOGRAPHY
WINNER LOCH RUSKY SUNRISE
Joe’s sublime sunrise image of the beautiful Loch Rusky, found in Trossachs in Scotland, has been captured masterfully and takes the top spot in our Minimalist Landscapes photo contest this month. We love the simplicity of the four empty boats floating on the ethereal loch on a misty morning, the lovely reflections, with a stunning sunrise colour palette bursting out from behind the trees on the horizon.
Lens Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Exposure 1/4 sec, f/11, ISO500
GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE
Alain’s wonderful blue hour shot of the iconic golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, uses the classic orange and teal colours to add contrast and give his landscape a cinematic look. The warm, bright lights from the bridge do a top job of pulling your eye in from the dark and cold blue surrounding.
Lens Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM Exposure 25 secs, f/9, ISO200
SOUTH MOUNTAIN SUNSET
Matt took this graphic sunset scene in Phoenix, Arizona, telling us: “I hiked up the western slope of South Mountain and came across this lone cactus rising against the hillside. I set up and waited for the lighting to be just right.” The sunset light looks perfect to us and the lone cactus standing proud on the hill, with the view of Phoenix in the background, works marvellously.Lens Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L III USM Exposure 1/50 sec, f/2.8, ISO100

SUNSET FISH STRUCTURE
Monica’s lovely landscape taken at a fishing village in Setubal, Portugal, has been kept simple, framing up on a single walkway that curves through the water, with a magical pastel sunset colours lighting the scene. It’s remarkably minimal but works excellently here. Shot with a Canon EOS 250D.

THE LONE RANGER BY MIROSLAV NIKOLOV
Miroslav’s stunning seascape photo does a wonderful job at capturing the raw power of the sea, using a slow 1/6 sec exposure to catch a little motion as the waves crash into lighthouse. His conversion to black and white also helps to bolste
