National Geographic’s Traveler Photo Contest–Awesome Photos!

August 22, 2015 8:17 AM from

Well, it’s over for 2015. What stunning photos. Seriously…I recommend allowing yourself to be entranced for quite a bit of time by them. The categories were: Outdoor scenes, sense of place, spontaneous moments and travel portraits.

Better? Many are available for free as desktop wallpapers… 1600 x 1200 for desktops, but also for tablets and phone, with some branding (National Geographic) at the bottom of the photos…

You can easily spend a wonderful couple of hours looking and learning about what makes a photo truly great.

So, for your weekend visual pleasure… http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/photo-contest-2015/!

Huayna Potosi Photo and caption by Linda Rahmat

Just saw the above photo, i can just imagine that it was very hard to get the exposure just right up there also facing the sun.
Nice post DOC and Thank you!

benmanns, it even has an ice halo circular 'rainbow' (not actually a rainbow since it's caused by light refracting in ice crystals).

I imagine that exposure and subsequent post processing were very difficult.
