Our initial month of venturing into the world of travel photography is off to a fantastic begin, and picking a winner amongst all the superb submissions, as Matt put it, “is harder than I thought.”
This month’s winner comes from Jonny Gilbert, titled “Sunset at the Drum Tower.” What do we believe? We dug the soft tones, subtle storylines, and the birds contrasting with the stillness of the dusk. “The birds are just so . . . yea . . . I definitely like Sunset at the Drum Tower.” Effectively stated Luke, we all agree.
Here’s what photographer Jonny Gilbert has to say about his shot:
After a week in Tibet, we did a circuit of Chengdu, Xi’an, and, ultimately, Beijing, China. The photo was taken on best of the Beijing Gulou (Drum Tower) shut to the finish of our very first day there. The birds have been flying circles above the previous Hutong District identified as, Dongcheng, just North of the Forbidden City. Gulou and the close by Zhonglou (Bell Tower) were not a considered a “main” tourist attraction, and we only actually went since we were near by, but it turned out to be a worthy journey. We had an amazing view of the Hutong and we also acquired to see a conventional drum overall performance in the Drum Tower.
To see extra of Jonny’s do the job, head more than to his flickr Webpage. Several thanks Jonny, we appear forward to seeing far more of your collection.
Just to remind you, this January TheExpeditioner started out a flickr group allowing our readers to share their ideal travel photographs and a probability to have them considered for our month to month contest (are you a flickr member? Join us here!). Each and every month, we will be deciding on our preferred photo to function with the photographer’s ideas behind the shot.
So head above to the group webpage, join us and submit your pics! If for no other cause, we’d like to see Luke fumble close to with additional reasons for choosing his favored.
