Enjoying the Outdoors

March 2022

The atmosphere of this image is really special capturing the stillness of an early morning kayaking adventure. Beautiful colours and tones - excellent work.

I love the back light and flare from the lens on this shot. The subtle colours are working well and create a really great atmosphere. A brief moment beautifully observed. Lovely work.

The light works really well in this image - the rock and figures standing out beautifully against the subtle shaded colours of the background. I also like the way the photograph captures two climbing stories in one. Really nice.

A beautiful moment captured in the evening light - great use of a fast shutter speed to capture the action and a wide aperture to focus the subject and knock out the background. Really nice work here.

What a great image and really different from most of the entries. Lovely composition using the best of the evening light - a real standout shot for me - love it!

I love the shapes and subtle colour palette of this martian landscape. The figures adding scale and dimension to create a really beautiful image. I really like the depth of field too with the image retaining sharpness and detail throughout - excellent work.

We walk, run and cycle its paths, paraglide high above it, swim its waters, and climb its craggy faces. Action and adventure photography is often enjoyed by the same folk who have that love for the outdoors, and is a reason itself to get out and breath the fresh air.
