David Shaw / Natural Landscape Photography Awards

Intimate Landscape, Winner. Jurassic World. “This type of woodland is quite tricky to photograph, as it is so busy, and generally needs mist or thick fog to do it justice. For this particular trip, I didn’t have those conditions and decided to scout the area rather than focus on the photography. However, just as I was about to start the long trek back to the car, the sun came out and lit up this scene, leaving me scrambling to get ‘something’ before it disappeared again.”
