2019 FUJIFILM SHOWCASE SECOND ROUND WINNERS
Winner
Wow! It’s all going on in this very dramatic image by Steven Genesin which, we can assure you, was created entirely in-camera. He used the clever Live Composite function in the Olympus OM-D E-M10 to successfully capture both the massive lightning strike and the lights of Adelaide’s Brighton Jetty as a storm approached. The lens used was the M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f1.8 fast wide-angle prime.
HIGHLY COMMENDED
Great use of the vertical format emphasises the shapes of these sand dunes in Nambia with the lone tree creating a great sense of scale. This image was taken by Lex Rudd using a Nikon D7200 D-SLR fitted with a Sigma 18-250mm zoom (set at 155mm).
Commended
The leading lines take you right into the middle of this exhibition (which, incidentally, is of David Hockney paintings). Matko Medic was the photographer and he used a Nikon Coolpix P900 superzoom camera. FUJIFILM SHOWCASE 2019 The 2019 Fujifilm Showcase runs until 31 August 2019.
