But, there are photos here that will make you realize, that: I should be taking photos of this kind of stuff! So, here are some amazing photos that should be shared, and they make this weeks” PHOTOS OF THE WEEK!
Grand Prize Winner: “Celestial Encounter” submitted by Marcel Siegle
The image is actually a self-portrait of Siegle, who has been a photographer for more than 30 years, and an avid fly-fisherman for nearly just as long. Siegle, who runs a commercial photography business, enjoys snapping photos of fly-fishermen in action as well.
Second Place Winner: “Buffalo in Orange” submitted by Rick Beldegreen
Beldegreen, a retired veterinarian, says he now has more time to chase his second passion, wildlife photography. He frequently takes trips for the sole purpose of getting the perfect shot of animals in the wild.
“We knew that this buffalo herd frequented the area, and that they would typically bed down for the night in this forest,” the photographer told weather.com. “Then, in the early morning, they’d start making their way out of the forest to start grazing at the watering holes. The previous day we saw that it was just an amazing sunrise; all the dust that was kicked up by this herd of buffalo created this great effect.”
Beldegreen said he didn’t get any great shots that day, but was deterimined to try again the next day, to see if the scene would repeat itself.
“To my great fortune, it did,” he said. “It created this amazing orange glow.”
By his prediction, there were at least 500 buffalo present at the scene.
Third Place Winner: “Mother Nature’s Lightshow” submitted by Michael Wasserberger
“Whenever I travel, I always have my camera nearby because you never know what you’ll come across,” he told weather.com. “I happened to look out the window and saw these incredible storms, and I knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
