Recently we revealed<\/a> the winners of this year’s Landscape Photographer of the Year<\/a>. We’ve now got more insight from three winners who took particularly inspiring shots, including overall winner, Chris Frost. They also talk more about the equipment they used – as\u00a0 you can see, they didn’t all use cutting-edge gear. You can now pick up a used Nikon D3200, as used by overall winner Chris Frost, for under \u00a3170 from MPB<\/a> for example.<\/p>\n\t\t

Nikon D3200, f\/11, 0.5 seconds, ISO 400<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Chris Frost: Landscape Photographer of the Year 2020<\/strong>
\n“Living near the coast, seascapes were my initial photographic passion, but over the last three years woodland photography has captured my imagination \u2013 their tranquility a stark contrast to shooting storms and crashing waves. When I captured this image, I\u2019d planned on shooting a misty bluebell scene, but arrived to harsh lighting devoid of mist, so went exploring for something new.<\/p>\n

Smelling wild garlic long before I stumbled upon this little meandering path, I knew I\u2019d found something special. Knowing that with the right light and morning mists it would look amazing, I returned the next two days until the conditions were perfect – that perseverance paying huge dividends. Photography has really opened my eyes to the natural beauty around us and allowed me to experience scenes others do not get to see; a lot of that joy coming from the exploration and experimentation required to find something that\u2019s new and original.”<\/p>\n

Nikon D810, f\/6.3, 1\/500 sec, ISO 500<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Graham Eaton: Landscapes Special Award Winner<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt\u2019s important to me to come up with my own ideas, so I\u2019m always looking for alternative viewpoints and perspectives. This was a classic example of being in the right place at the right time. It was early one winter morning, and I was driving to another location to shoot something else, but I couldn\u2019t get the view I wanted because the fog was really low across the estuary.<\/p>\n

I went to another location, and as I arrived there was a part in the fog that revealed the wind farm, and then the flock of birds flew across at exactly the right time \u2013 it made the shot. I like to get it right in the camera, rather than use Photoshop. I shot this on a Nikon D810, with a 70-200mm lens and a LEE graduated filter. I wanted to capture the detail as I was planning to make a big print of it, so I knew I needed a lot of pixels and the D810 was perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canon EOS 250D, f\/1.8, 1\/320 sec, ISO 400<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Josh Elphick: Young Landscape Photographer of the Year<\/strong>
\n\u201cThis shot wasn\u2019t too much about the lighting or conditions \u2013 there was no waiting for the mist to roll in or for the wave to be right. I\u2019ve always wanted to have a sheep as the subject of a photo, rather than in the background, so when I saw them by the fence while I was walking my dog I jumped on the opportunity. sI shot this on my Canon 250D with a 50mm f1.8 lens to get a really shallow depth of field, but I also love shooting skate photography with my 8mm fisheye lens to get that classic look.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve just started using a Pentax film camera too \u2013 I\u2019ve just come back from holiday and everything I shot was on black and white film. I love composing images and lining everything up like I do with my DSLR, but shooting it on film is a new challenge, and I love how it looks.\u201d To see more of Josh’s work, visit: IG@_joshelphick_<\/p>\n
