Comments Comments

Huge congratulations to Shirley Chunyu, winner of the June ‘Night Light’ competition with her fantastically composed image ‘Starry night’.

This month's guest judge, photographer, tour leader and all round nice guy Jason Futrill (aka Tassiegrammer), chose Shirley’s image as the overall winner:

The techniques in both the shooting and post processing the zoom burst of the milky way, plus the overall sense of scale introduced with the two people on the cliff made this image stand out for me. The composition is very good and I get a sense of movement and time due to the zoom burst technique.
