Panoramic 3rd place winner

The mystic atmosphere in the woods on misty days is very special. If there is some backlight from the rising sun as well the nature offers every few seconds a different setting. These are my favorite conditions to go into the woods and search for special places which reflect this beauty and unique lightning conditions. All these shots are taken on such misty days in the northern parts of Germany. Two shots are from autumn, one from spring and one from the winter season, showing the different moods generated by different seasons. They are all taken with a full frame DSLR and stitched out of 7 to 8 single vertical frames.

"Seeing the magic" stands for the philosophy which the landscape photographer Martin Krajczy uses as a guideline for his FINE ART work. His FINE ART photographies are characterized by a well-directed deduction of colors and structures.The specific use of long exposure times and depth of field shows magical moments of the nature in a way which is sometimes not visible for the human eyes.The FINE ART photographies are a result of intensive photo trips in Europe and Africa. His favorite subjects and techniques are panorama photography, the Namib desert, Iceland and the misty woods of Europe. So far he got several awards, e.g. in the "Epson international pano awards" and in "International landscape photographer of the year". You can follow his work on his website www.seemak.de.
