The Expeditioner’s May Photo Contest Finalists

We entered the month of Could in search of some of the most spectacular shots of the world’s landscapes. Low and behold, we observed a lot of. It took a whole month just to sift by way of and come to a consensus above, in my view, some of the most gorgeous snapshots of this big, beautiful Earth. Ode to majestic beauties!

Initially, allow us introduce this photograph, “Rebirthing A Legend,” and appropriately so. As legend has it, London Bridge was falling down so they moved it to Lake Havasu. Yet, it is not the bridge that captures the aesthetic eye, but the Havasu Falls observed here. In accordance to the photographer, Michael Greene, a flash flood altered the canyon creating a smaller, still equally remarkable waterfall.

Taken with a Canon EOS 5D Mark II, the dynamic of colours and layout show, to paraphrase Greene, its undeniable beauty. “Makes me want to whip off my swim trunks and go for a dip,” quoth Luke. Some much more legendary photographs can be found on Michael Green’s flickr.

This shot of Athens, Greece, lets all who search at it to be transfixed. Even the photographer describes the working experience as “something surreal.” Adventuring the rocky cliffs that surround the Acropolis, the photographer and close friends found a point wherever locals gather to appreciate the see, “eyes glazed more than in imagined and awe with just about every moment.” You can see more amazing moments of adventure at cbettsphotography’s flickr web page.

This image, taken with a Nikon D80, puts me at a loss of words. I had no concept that New Mexico held such a treasure. When wanting at this landscape, 1 are unable to aid but really feel misplaced in a dream.  The intensity of shade contrast to the obvious purity of the sand is practically nothing quick of breathtaking. This kind of are Tsjikatilo’s other images that you can find on flickr.

Remember to check out, or join, The Expeditioner’s flick account and share your shots with anyone. The theme for subsequent month’s competition is: unique faces in distinct areas. Express your self.
