1st Place winner
Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay
Deryk Baumgärtner, Germany
Sittin' On The Dock Of The Bay
DESCRIPTION
A scene like from the movie "The Perfect Storm" served as the backdrop for one of my absolute favorite photos from this year's Northern Lights trip. The wild sea with hurricane-like and very cold winds, the whipping snow and the northern lights shimmering through for a short time represented a combination of situations that you will probably only experience very rarely.
AUTHOR
I’am based in Cologne / Germany and my journey into photography actually started way before I picked up a camera. I was actually always into art and drawing and that’s pretty much what I was focused on throughout school.
As a photographer I love the challenge of trying to include just enough subjects into the frame to plant a seed of a story and then make the viewer to imagine the rest. I want my viewers to feel like they are right in the middle of the scene. My goal is to translate the excitement I felt at that time into a truly compelling image.
